Consumer units are basically the modern and safer version of fuse boxes.
If your house is fitted with an old fuse board / fuse box which is wooden, or has rewireable fuses – it might be time to for you to replace it as it may not have RCD protection for example. However, just because the fusebox is old does not mean it needs replacing. It is recommended that you have an Electrical Installation Condition Report / EICR carried out to inspect and test your fusebox and the wiring in your home.
