Todays modern consumer units offer far more protection to the home against electric shock, fire and electrical power surges. All of our consumer units incorporate residual current devices (RCD’s) which are electrical safety devices that isolate the electricity automatically in the event of a fault, either within your wiring or an appliance. Surge protective devices (SPD) are used to protect the electrical installation and we fit these as standard within all our consumer units.

Installations consist of the consumer unit, wiring and accessories, and also sensitive electronic equipment such as televisions and computers, which are vulnerable to transient overvoltages. Power surges often originate externally, most intensely by lightening, however can also occur internally from the switching of electrical loads. By installing a surge protection device (SPD) the voltage reaching any sensitive electronic equipment is kept below a safe threshold.
