Upgrading a consumer unit (also known as a fuse box or distribution board) can provide several benefits for homeowners and tenants.

Electrical safety

Older consumer units lack modern safety features, increasing the risk of electrical fires, shocks, and other hazards. Upgrading to a newer unit with RCDs (Residual Current Devices) and other safety mechanisms significantly enhances electrical safety.

Increased capacity

As households use more electrical devices, the demand for electricity can exceed the capacity of older consumer units. Upgrading can accommodate higher loads and additional circuits for new appliances, improving overall efficiency.

Peace of mind

Knowing that your electrical system is up to date and safe can provide significant peace of mind for you and your family.

Upgrading to LED's (Light Emitting Diodes) offer several advantages over traditional lighting. 

Lower energy bills

LED's consume significantly less electricity compared to incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. They convert a higher percentage of energy into light, leading to lower energy bills

Longer lifespan

LED's have a long operational lifespan, often lasting 25,000 to 50,000 hours or more. This durability reduces the frequency of replacements and associated costs.

Instant lighting

LED's light up instantly to full brightness without the warm-up delay. LEDSs offer versatility in brightness and color temperature. They can provide bright, vibrant colors and can be easily adjusted for different lighting needs, from warm to cool tones.

Safety

Using fewer extension cords can reduce the risk of electrical hazards such as overheating or fire. Overloading a single outlet with multiple devices can also be dangerous.

Future-proofing

As technology advances, the number of electronic devices we use tends to increase. Having more sockets prepares you for future needs, whether it's charging smartphones, using laptops, or connecting smart home devices.

Security

Having outdoor lighting is a great way to improve security around your property whilst maintaining an aesthetically pleasing look. 

Convenience

Outdoor sockets enhances the functionality of your outdoor space and allows the use of many appliances.
