When it comes to managing your home’s electrical system, the importance of a reliable FuseBox consumer unit cannot be overstated. This crucial component ensures the safe distribution of electricity throughout your home, protecting your circuits from overloads and potential hazards.
At TS Electrical, our team are experts in domestic electrical work like installing and maintaining FuseBox consumer units. With their installation we ensure that your home’s electrical system is both safe and efficient.
What is a FuseBox Consumer Unit?
A FuseBox consumer unit, commonly known as a FuseBox, is an essential part of any electrical installation. It contains multiple circuit breakers or fuses that distribute electrical power to different circuits within your home. In the event of an electrical fault or overload, the FuseBox interrupts the power supply to prevent damage and potential fire hazards.
Key Components of a FuseBox Consumer Unit
- Main Switch: This allows you to turn off the electrical supply to your entire home, providing a critical safety feature.
- Circuit Breakers: These automatically disconnect a circuit if it detects an overload or short circuit.
- Residual Current Breaker with Over-Current (RCBO): Combining the benefits of an RCD and MCB, this feature means that only the affected circuit will trip in case of a fault. TS Electrical fits these boards as standard!
- Surge Protection Devices (SPDs): These protect your appliances from voltage spikes caused by power surges.
Why You Need a FuseBox SPD Consumer Unit
Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) are an increasingly important feature in modern FuseBox consumer units. A FuseBox SPD consumer unit not only provides the standard protection against overloads and short circuits but also guards your electrical system against voltage surges.
These surges can be caused by lightning strikes, power outages, or even high-powered appliances turning on and off. This makes a FuseBox SPD consumer unit even more of a must in rural locations.
At TS Electrical, all consumer units we fit come with SPD as standard, as this safety feature is key to ensuring that your home’s electricity is uninterrupted.
Benefits of a FuseBox SPD Consumer Unit
- Enhanced Protection: SPDs protect sensitive electronic devices from damage caused by electrical surges.
- Safety: Reduces the risk of electrical fires and shocks.
- Longevity of Appliances: Prolongs the lifespan of your home appliances by safeguarding them from voltage spikes.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your home’s electrical system is protected provides peace of mind for homeowners.
Choosing the Right FuseBox Consumer Unit
Selecting the appropriate FuseBox consumer unit depends on several factors, including the size of your home, the number of circuits, and specific electrical needs. At TS Electrical, we offer a variety of FuseBox consumer units for different needs.

We ensure that all installations comply with local regulations and safety standards, providing you with a reliable and safe electrical system.
Maintenance and EICRs
An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a survey of your home’s electrics that ensures your home’s electrical systems are operating efficiently and without fault. Any maintenance that your consumer unit may need is covered by our comprehensive EICRs.
It’s recommended that, unless issues arrive in the interim, you have an EICR performed on your home at least once every 10 years. This will give you peace of mind that your consumer unit is working effectively.
