At Prime Wire NW Ltd, we provide professional consumer unit upgrades for homeowners and landlords across Ashton-under-Lyne and the surrounding areas. As NAPIT & Trustmark registered electricians, we ensure all work meets the latest electrical safety standards, delivering modern, compliant systems that protect people and properties.
Consumer units, often referred to as the fuse box or the distribution board, are a vital part of every electrical system. Outdated units often lack essential safety features, such as Residual Current Devices (RCDs), which can increase the risk of electric shock and fire. Upgrading to a modern, dual-RCD or RCBO consumer unit enhances protection, improves fault detection, and brings electrical systems in line with current regulations (BS 7671).
Our consumer unit upgrades are ideal for:
- Properties with old-style fuse wire boards
- Homes undergoing renovation or rewiring
- Landlords that need to meet electrical safety obligations
- Homebuyers seeking peace of mind before moving in
Our upgrades at Prime Wire NW Ltd include a full inspection and testing of the existing installation, ensuring the new unit integrates safely with the electrical system. As a team, we source high-quality components from trusted manufacturers, making our installations premium standard. In addition, we provide an Electrical Installation Certificate upon completion of every upgrade, leaving our customers with peace of mind and proof of compliance.
Some common signs that suggest a consumer unit is ageing include tripping fuses, burning smells and no RCD protection. When these signs are detected, we emphasise that it is time to act. Undergoing an upgrade with a team like ours not only improves safety but also ensures the property is fit for future electrical demands such as EV charging, smart home technologies, and more.
