Electrical Upgrades & Safety

Is your electricity constantly tripping? Do you have an old-style fuse board with wire fuses? If you're a homeowner or business owner in Leicester or Leicestershire, it might be time for a vital upgrade. An outdated fuse board, also known as a consumer unit, can be more than just an inconvenience—it's a potential safety hazard.


At 786 Electricals Ltd, we are your local experts for professional fuse board replacements, fault-finding, and electrical upgrades. We understand the frustration of a sudden power outage, which is why our certified electricians are dedicated to getting your Leicester home or business running safely and efficiently.


Is Your Fuse Board Trying to Tell You Something?

A tripping fuse board is a clear sign that something is wrong with your electrical system. It could be due to a simple issue, but it could also indicate a serious problem like an electrical fault or an overloaded circuit. Ignoring these warnings can put you, your family, or your employees at risk of electrical shock or even fire.


Our expert electricians, based right here in Leicester, can perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the root cause of your issues. We'll identify the problem and provide a clear, detailed plan for a long-lasting solution, whether it's a simple repair or a full consumer unit replacement.


Why You Need a Modern Consumer Unit

A modern consumer unit is a smart investment in your property's safety and value. Unlike older fuse boards, modern units are equipped with advanced safety features like RCDs (Residual Current Devices) and MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers). These components are designed to react instantly to a fault, cutting power in a fraction of a second to prevent injury and damage.

Our services go beyond just replacements. We can:

  • Upgrade your fuse board's capacity to support new appliances and technology, ensuring your system can handle the demands of a modern home.
  • Perform earth bonding upgrades to your gas and water pipes, bringing your property up to current safety standards.
  • Ensure all work complies with the latest electrical regulations, including Part P of the Building Regulations.
