If you think you need a new consumer unit in Cwmbran, PG Electrics are a reputable trader with years of experience working with homeowners and landlords in the area.
Why Might I Need A New Consumer Unit?
If you suspect that your older fuse box or fuse board is outdated, damaged or faulty, PG Electrics urge customers to consider installing a new consumer unit at your home in Cwmbran.
Older fuse boards lack modern safety features found in new consumer units. That’s why we suggest replacing your updated fuseboard, especially if it hasn't been replaced in the last 15- 20 years.
Older fuse boards aren’t designed to handle the load of electrical devices used in modern households. To futureproof your home in Cwmbran, it might be time to consider a new consumer unit.
Signs I Need A New Consumer Unit
There are some signs to look out for if you do think it's time for a new consumer unit. If there are circuits that trip often, dim or flickering lights or notice outlets and switches are always hot to the touch, you need a qualified electrician to come and take a look.
What Happens When A New Consumer Unit Is Installed?
To keep our electricians safe during installation, mains power is shut off at your home first. The old fuse board is removed and the new consumer unit is mounted in an easy to reach location. Once all necessary wiring and circuit protection devices are installed, a number of system tests are carried out to make sure the new consumer unit is working.
What Are The Benefits Of A New Consumer Unit?
A new consumer unit at your home in Cwmbran comes with a range of advantages. Predominantly you’ll have much better electrical safety as new consumer units are designed with fault protection such as RCDs and SPDs.
RCDs or residual current devices immediately stop the flow of current if an electrical fault is detected, reducing the chance of electric shocks. SPDs or surge protection devices are components designed to protect the electrical device, preventing damage during an overload or power surge.
How Will A New Consumer Unit Help My Home In Cwmbran?
You’ll notice far better energy efficiency with a new consumer unit as modern devices are designed to reduce wasted energy. This should help to reduce energy bills at your home in Cwmbran.
If you decide to put your home on the market in the near future, properties with new consumer units are far more appealing as buyers have the assurance of better electrical distribution alongside enhanced electrical safety.
