Consumer Unit Upgrades & Replacements In South East London, West Sussex & Brighton

Modern Fuse Board Installations By Qualified Electricians

At AKN Electrical Contractors Limited, we provide professional consumer unit upgrades and replacements for domestic and commercial properties across South East London, West Sussex and Brighton. As experienced and fully qualified electricians, we ensure your electrical system is safe, reliable and compliant with the latest regulations.

Your consumer unit (also known as a fuse board) is the heart of your property’s electrical system. It plays a vital role in protecting you, your family and your property from electrical faults, overloads and potential fire risks. If your fuse board is outdated or no longer compliant, upgrading it is essential for safety and efficiency.

As a family-run business, we take pride in delivering honest advice, high-quality workmanship and a customer-focused service tailored to each individual property.

What is a Consumer Unit Upgrade?

Improved Safety & Electrical Performance

A consumer unit upgrade involves replacing an old or outdated fuse board with a modern unit that meets current electrical safety standards.

Modern consumer units include advanced safety features such as:

Residual Current Devices (RCD protection)
Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs)
Surge protection devices
Improved fault detection systems

These upgrades significantly improve the safety of your electrical installation and reduce the risk of electrical fires or shocks.

If your property still has an older-style fuse board, it may not provide adequate protection for modern electrical demands.

Kevin has done quite a few different electrical installations for us. I wouldn’t go to anyone else now. He is professional, personable, fast and efficient. We would highly recommend him.

Kevin is a great electrician
Crawley, RH11

Kevin is an actual electrician! He is qualified, knowledgeable and skilled. He worked quickly and diligently for 3 days to complete the job (EICR, replacing outdoor cabling, installing lights and sockets, installing outdoor sockets, replacing the fuse board and bringing all the circuits up to date by ensuring we have RCD on everything). The work is of a very high standard and I am delighted by the end result. Kevin was very polite, friendly and helpful whilst he was here. Kevin has also done work for every house in my street and we all highly recommend him!
