Why Upgrade Your Fuse Board?
Old fuse boards with rewirable fuses or early MCBs lack the protection of modern RCDs. RCDs can cut power in as little as 40 milliseconds in a fault - dramatically reducing the risk of electric shock and fire. Richardson Electrical upgrades fuse boards throughout Greater Manchester.
RCD vs RCBO Boards
Standard RCD boards protect circuits in groups, meaning a fault can take out multiple circuits. RCBO boards protect each circuit individually, so only the affected circuit trips. We advise on the best option for your property across Hyde, Manchester, and Stockport.
Upgrade as Part of a Larger Project
If you're having an EV charger, solar panels, or a rewire carried out, we always recommend upgrading the consumer unit at the same time to ensure it can handle the additional load. One visit, one job, one price.

I appreciate the quality of service from Caleb. Needed some rewires and some lighting installations. I would recommend anyone to go with Caleb, he takes care of his work and gives his best. 5 stars from me 👍🏻
Caleb and his team are an absolute recommendation, did a rewire on a 3 bed property in a day for myself for a good price and had excellent communication before throughout and after , cannot recommend enough!
Caleb, fitted outside lights on our house. We were really pleased with his work. We also recently refurbished our living room, we had Caleb fit new ceiling spot lights, new plug sockets & light switches. His work is absolutely spot on.
Great work from Caleb. Pleasure to deal with!
