Signs you need an upgrade⚠️
Before we dig into the process, it's essential to recognise the signs that indicate your consumer unit needs an upgrade:
- Frequent tripping - If your circuit breakers frequently trip, it's a sign that your consumer unit is struggling to handle the load. This can be both inconvenient and a safety concern.
- Old unit - If your consumer unit is several decades old, it's likely outdated and does not comply with modern safety standards.
Overloaded circuits - Overloading circuits is dangerous. An upgraded consumer unit can better distribute power and prevent overloads.
