Do I need surge protection in my property?
Surge protection is recommended for many installations and can help protect expensive appliances, IT equipment and smart home devices from damaging voltage spikes.
What is surge protection?
Surge protection devices help protect electrical equipment from temporary overvoltages caused by switching events or lightning-related disturbances.

If your consumer unit is outdated, lacks RCD protection or no longer meets the demands of modern electrical installations, an upgrade may be recommended following an inspection.
What’s the difference between a fuse box and a consumer unit?
Older fuse boxes use replaceable fuses, whereas modern consumer units use circuit breakers and RCD or RCBO protection, providing improved safety and easier fault identification.
Can you replace old fuse boxes?
Yes. We replace outdated fuse boxes with modern consumer units incorporating RCBO protection and surge protection where appropriate. Every installation is fully tested and certified.
