Outdated distribution units struggle with modern electrical loads and lack essential shock mitigation.
Rewireable Fuse Wire
Nuisance Tripping and Heat
Absence of RCD Safety
Units featuring cast-iron switches, wooden backing, or replaceable fuse wire cannot isolate faults quickly enough to eliminate serious fire risks.
Buzzing noises, warm casing, scorch discoloration, or intermittent tripping indicate overloaded circuits and deteriorating connection terminals.
Older consumer units without residual current devices provide zero touch protection against lethal earth leakage currents.
Modern Consumer Unit Protection
Individual RCBO Protection
Modern dual-pole RCBO devices combine overcurrent and earth fault isolation on every circuit, preventing a single faulty appliance from cutting power throughout the entire building.
Type 2 Surge Protection
Integrated surge arrestors clamp high-voltage spikes caused by grid switching or lightning, shielding sensitive microprocessors in heat pumps, smart televisions, and electric vehicle chargers.
What Customers Can Expect
Pre-Work Survey and Testing
Neat Enclosure Replacement
Safe Electric Certification
Our certified electricians survey incoming supply cables, main earthing conductors, and existing circuit continuity to identify latent faults before starting.
We safely isolate power, remove the obsolete board, fit a non-combustible metal enclosure, and terminate every circuit neatly with calibrated torque settings.
Following full live loop impedance and insulation resistance verification, we issue official Safe Electric completion paperwork confirming absolute regulatory compliance.
Speak with our Safe Electric registered technicians to arrange a rapid survey, upfront quotation, and full compliance testing across Dublin.
