Old or outdated fuse boards can be unsafe and may not meet modern electrical regulations.
Qualified, Local Electricians You Can Rely On
At LH Electrical, we provide professional fuse board upgrades and consumer unit replacements across Lewes, Eastbourne, Uckfield, Crowborough and throughout East Sussex.
Our NAPIT-registered electricians ensure your home or business is safe, compliant and future-proofed.
What is a consumer unit (and why replace your old fuse board)?
A consumer unit — often called a fuse board — is the heart of your property’s electrical system. It distributes electricity around your home or business and protects circuits from overloads.
Older fuse boxes with rewireable fuses don’t offer the same level of protection as modern units with RCDs and circuit breakers. Upgrading ensures your electrics meet the latest 18th Edition regulations.
Signs you may need a fuse board upgrade
- Your fuse board has wooden backing or rewireable fuses
- There are frequent tripping circuits or blown fuses
- No RCD protection on sockets or circuits
- You’re planning a major renovation, extension or rewire
- You want to install an EV charger or solar panels
If any of these apply, it’s a good idea to book an inspection with our qualified electricians.

Do I need an 18th Edition consumer unit?
Yes! All new consumer unit installations must meet 18th Edition wiring regulations. This ensures your system includes RCD protection, metal casing for fire safety, and modern circuit breakers.
