Why fuse board upgrades matter
Your home’s fuse board (also known as a consumer unit) controls how electricity is distributed and protected throughout the house. A modern unit includes safety devices like RCDs and MCBs to help prevent electric shocks, appliance damage, and even house fires. Upgrading ensures your home is compliant with current Irish standards — and ready for today’s power needs.
Common reasons to upgrade or repair
- Frequent power trips or blown fuses
- No RCD (residual current device) protection
- Old-style ceramic fuse wires or breakers
- Planning to install high-demand appliances or an EV charger
- Undertaking a renovation, extension or rewire
- Preparing a property for rental or BER assessment
