Upgrading and installing a new consumer unit as part of ongoing works.

Modern consumer units provide improved protection, clearer circuit separation, and safer isolation compared to older setups.

Careful installation, correct circuit termination, and full testing are essential to ensure everything operates safely and reliably.

Another outdoor power installation completed.

External electrical work needs to be properly protected, correctly installed, and suitable for the environment it is used in.

This installation provides safe, weatherproof power where it is needed, finished neatly and tested before handover.

This is an older style fuse board we came across on a recent job.

While these boards may still function, they do not offer the level of protection modern homes need today. There is no RCD protection, fault finding is more difficult, and safety features are limited compared to current standards.

Modern consumer units are designed to disconnect power much faster in the event of a fault, helping to reduce the risk of electric shock and fire.

If your fuse board looks similar to this, it does not automatically mean it is dangerous, but it is a good idea to have it checked by a qualified electrician so you know exactly where you stand.

If you are unsure about the condition of your electrics, feel free to get in touch.

Another Andersen EV charger installed in Henley

A fresh Andersen A2 fitted today for a local homeowner. The timber front looks great on the property and the hidden cable design keeps everything neat once the car is unplugged.

We love installs like this because the finish makes such a difference. Clean lines, tidy cabling and a charger that blends in with the home.

Thinking about an EV charger at your place in Henley or the nearby areas? We are happy to chat through the options and help you pick the right setup.
