Consumer Unit Replacements in Fort William & Inverness-shire
At Macleod Electrical, we provide professional consumer unit replacements for homes and businesses throughout Fort William and the wider Highland region. When electrical systems are outdated, lack modern safety protection, or no longer meet current regulations, upgrading the consumer unit is a vital step towards improved safety, reliability, and performance.
The consumer unit is the heart of any electrical installation. Older fuse boxes often fail to provide adequate protection against electric shock, overloads, and electrical faults. As a team of qualified electricians, we install modern units designed to meet the electrical demands of today while ensuring full compliance with current UK wiring regulations.
At Macleod Electrical, we replace obsolete fuse boards with contemporary consumer units fitted with RCD and RCBO protection. These devices are designed to isolate faults quickly, significantly reducing the risk of fire or injury. Each installation is carefully planned and executed to suit the size, usage, and layout of the property.
Our consumer unit replacement service includes:
- Removal of outdated fuse boxes
- Installation of modern RCD or RCBO consumer units
- Full inspection of existing circuits
- Necessary remedial works
- Comprehensive testing and certification
All of our work at Macleod Electrical is completed in line with BS 7671 standards and carried out with minimal disruption.
