Fuse Board Upgrades in Fareham
If your property still has an outdated fuse box, arranging a professional fuse board upgrade in Fareham is one of the most effective ways to improve electrical safety and reliability. Daxter Electricals provides modern consumer unit replacements for homeowners and landlords who want compliant work, clear advice, and certification included as standard.
A modern fuse board protects your home against electrical faults, reduces fire risk, and ensures your electrics meet current UK safety standards. All work is carried out by a NICEIC-approved electrician, with a fixed price agreed before any work begins.
What a Fuse Board Upgrade Does for Your Home
A fuse board, also known as a consumer unit, controls and protects all electrical circuits in your property. Older fuse boxes often lack modern safety features such as RCD or RCBO protection, which are now expected in a fuse box upgrade.
Upgrading your fuse board helps to:
- Automatically cut power if a fault is detected
- Reduce the risk of electric shock
- Lower the chance of electrical fires
- Support modern appliances and electrical demand
Many homes still rely on fuse boards installed decades ago. Replacing them improves safety and brings your electrics in line with current regulations.
If you would like a wider safety assessment, our electrical inspection services page explains this in more detail.
When a Fuse Board Upgrade Is Recommended
You may benefit from a fuse board upgrade in Fareham if your property shows any of the following signs:
- Circuits trip frequently without obvious cause
- Your fuse box uses rewireable fuses
- There is no visible RCD protection
- The consumer unit feels warm or smells unusual
- Buzzing noises are coming from the fuse board
- Electrical upgrades or renovations have increased demand
In some cases, a professional inspection will confirm whether a consumer unit replacement is required or whether your existing board remains safe.

Fuse Board Upgrades for Homeowners and Landlords
A fuse box upgrade offers long-term benefits for both owner-occupied and rented properties.
For homeowners, upgrading improves household safety and provides confidence that your electrical system meets current standards.
