Why 786 Electricals Recommends the FuseBox 14-Way SPD Consumer Unit
When it comes to consumer unit replacements in Leicester and across Leicestershire, 786 Electricals Limited is your local expert. Whether you're upgrading for safety, expanding for modern appliances, or future-proofing your home, we offer NAPIT-certified installations that meet the latest BS 7671 wiring regulations and include full Building Control notification.
Why Replacing Your Consumer Unit Matters
Your consumer unit—commonly called a fuse box—is the heart of your home's electrical system. If your current unit is outdated, lacks RCD protection, or is struggling to meet demand, now is the time to upgrade. With rising energy needs, smart home tech, EV chargers, and heat pumps becoming the norm, your consumer unit must be ready for the future.
🌟 Our Top Recommendation: FuseBox 14-Way SPD Consumer Unit with Type A RCDs or RCBOs
At 786 Electricals, we proudly recommend and install the FuseBox 14-Way SPD Main Switch Consumer Unit, a reliable, regulation-compliant, and forward-thinking choice for homeowners across:
- Leicester City
- Oadby & Wigston
- Loughborough
- Hinckley
- Market Harborough
- Coalville
- Melton Mowbray
- Ashby-de-la-Zouch
- Blaby
- Rutland & surrounding areas
🔐 Built-In Safety: Why This Consumer Unit Stands Out
✅ Integrated SPD (Surge Protection Device)
Protects your entire home from damaging voltage spikes caused by:
- Lightning strikes (even nearby ones)
- Power grid issues
- Faulty appliances
An SPD safely redirects excess voltage to earth, protecting your valuable electronics like TVs, gaming systems, and smart fridges.
✅ Type A RCDs & RCBOs – Modern Earth Fault Protection
Older fuse boxes often use Type AC RCDs, which are no longer considered sufficient. The FuseBox 14-Way includes Type A protection, essential for modern appliances like:
- Heat pumps
- EV chargers
- Washing machines & dishwashers
- Solar PV inverters
RCBOs offer individual protection per circuit—so a trip in one area (like the kitchen) doesn’t cut power to your whole home.
🔌 14-Way Capacity: Space to Grow
Most homes have 8–10 circuits. This unit gives 4 to 6 spare ways, allowing room for:
- EV charger installations
- Loft conversions or extensions
- Smart home upgrades
- Renewable tech (solar panels, battery storage)
- Hot tubs or high-powered garden equipment
No need to replace your consumer unit again in 5 years—this one’s built to scale with your life.
