When your CSU needs upgrading?
If your consumer unit still contains the old ‘fuse’ protection rather than a RCD, an upgrade is recommended. If your consumer unit is old, then there is a possibility your home contains old wires, and like anything else, as they depreciate it can become a huge hazard. More modern RCD consumer units have sensitive switches and activate when something is wrong which keeps you and your family safe. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

What are the benefits of a modern Consumer Unit?
Modern consumer units monitor every circuit and electrical appliance in your home, meaning you are well protected. Homes with older consumer units tend to have higher insurance rates, this is because there are more at risk to living in, as the chance of having an electrical fire is greater. While a home with a modern consumer unit tends to have a higher resale value because it is more guarded. All new units come with an installation certificate confirming you are in line with the latest regulations, this is a must for rental properties.
