Professional Consumer Unit Upgrades & Fuse Board Replacements in Leeds
Your consumer unit (commonly known as a fuse board or fuse box) is the heart of your home's electrical system. If your property still has an old-style fuse box with rewirable fuse wires, an outdated plastic enclosure, or lacks modern RCD protection, your home is at a higher risk of electrical fires and shocks.
At BBElectrical, we specialize in upgrading outdated fuse boards to fully compliant, modern metal consumer units across Leeds, Bramley, Pudsey, and the surrounding West Yorkshire areas. As NAPIT-approved electricians, we ensure every installation meets the strict requirements of the latest 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).

Frequently asked
What to Expect During Your Fuse Board Upgrade
Replacing a consumer unit requires precision and thorough testing. Here is how BBElectrical handles your upgrade seamlessly:
- 1Pre-Installation Check: We visually inspect your existing setup and earthing arrangements to ensure everything is ready for the upgrade.
- 2Safe Isolation & Installation: We safely isolate the mains power, remove the old fuse box, and cleanly mount the new premium metal RCBO consumer unit. Power is typically off for just 3 to 5 hours.
- 3Rigorous Electrical Testing: Once installed, we test every single circuit in your home to guarantee it trips safely under fault conditions.
- 4Official NAPIT Certification: We handle all the paperwork for you, issuing a building regulations compliance certificate and logging the upgrade with local authority building control.
Why Upgrade to a Modern 18th Edition Consumer Unit?
When BBElectrical upgrades your electrical board, we don't just swap the box—we significantly upgrade your family’s safety. Our modern installations feature:
- •Full RCBO Protection: Unlike older boards where one fault trips half the sockets in the house, we install individual RCBOs (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent). If a fault occurs on your kitchen toaster, only that specific circuit trips, keeping your lights and other appliances running safely.
- •Surge Protection Devices (SPD): Modern homes are packed with expensive electronics like smart TVs, computers, and EV chargers. We integrate SPDs into your new board to protect your sensitive equipment from damaging voltage spikes caused by lightning or grid switching.
- •Fire-Rated Metal Enclosures: All new consumer units we install are housed in non-combustible metal casings, designed to contain any internal electrical fire completely.
