What is a fuse board, and why might I need an upgrade?

A fuse board (also called a consumer unit) is the central hub for your home's electrical system that distributes power to different circuits. If your fuse board is outdated or cannot handle modern energy demands, an upgrade ensures safety and efficiency, protecting your home from electrical hazards.
