Consumer Unit Replacements

Consumer units (also known as fuse boxes or fuse boards) are the control centre for electricity in every home and business. They take the incoming electricity supply from outside and reroute it to multiple circuits around the building. Each circuit can be controlled separately, so the electricity supply can be isolated in one part of the property without shutting off the power to other parts. 

A consumer unit is a safety requirement for every home and workplace because it protects cables and the appliances attached to them from overload to prevent fires. And it also protects people from electric shock caused by earth leakage.

RCBO BOARDS

HJA Electrical Contractors have done many consumer unit changes over the years. Our most popular is the RCBO board with Surge protection.

A RCBO consumer unit stands for ‘residual current breaker with over-current’, and it combines the functionality of a MCB (miniature circuit breaker) and RCD/RCCB (residual current device/residual current circuit breaker) into one unit. A RCBO will trip the entire circuit whenever there is a current leakage, and the device protects against earth fault currents, overload and short circuit currents.
