A circuit supplies power to different areas of your home. Smaller properties may need 6-8 circuits, while larger homes often need 10-16 circuits.
Fuseboard Type
Choose between a **Dual RCD Fuseboard** or an **RCBO Fuseboard**. RCBO boards provide individual circuit protection, meaning one fault won’t cut power to multiple areas of your home.
Is a Main Bonding Upgrade Needed?
Main bonding connects your electrical system to your gas and water pipes for safety. Older homes may need this upgrading when installing a new fuseboard.
Include a Surge Protection Device (SPD)?
An SPD protects your home from electrical surges caused by lightning or faults. Most modern consumer units include this as standard, but some electricians offer it as an optional extra.
Do You Need an EICR Before the Fuseboard Upgrade?
An **EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report)** is recommended before upgrading a fuseboard. New modern consumer units are more sensitive and can pick up wiring faults that may not have been detected with an older fuseboard. This test ensures your wiring is safe and compliant before installation.
