Is your home in Bristol still protected by an outdated fuse box? We are certified local electricians specialising in 18th Edition Consumer Unit Upgrades, ensuring ultimate safety and compliance for your property.
For properties in Bristol, upgrading from an old fuse box to a modern 18th Edition Consumer Unit is not just an upgrade—it's an essential safety investment. This protects your family, your property, and your legal compliance.
Old fuse boxes offer minimal protection. Modern units feature RCDs (Residual Current Devices) and RCBOs which instantly cut power in the event of a fault, preventing electric shocks and greatly reducing the risk of fire. Crucial for family homes in Bristol.
If you're buying, selling, or renting out a property in BS1, a new consumer unit is often required by conveyancers, mortgage lenders, and essential for passing an EICR (Electrical Safety Certificate). Mandatory for landlords.
The latest units include built-in Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) to safeguard sensitive and expensive modern electronics (computers, TVs, charging points) from damage caused by power spikes. A smart investment for Bristol homes.

Book Your EICR & QuoteIf your consumer unit is over 25 years old (especially if it has rewirable fuses), UK safety regulations usually require an upgrade before adding a high-power circuit like an oven or EV charger.
Why? Because a modern appliance on an unprotected 30-year-old board is a fire risk. We perform an EICR first to ensure your existing wiring can handle the new load, protecting your appliance and your home.

We performed a complete, phased 18th Edition rewire and installed a new metal consumer unit with Surge Protection. The entire project was certified and brought to full rental compliance ahead of the client's schedule.

Many electricians in Bristol are simply not interested in the small jobs.They want the choice jobs and will drop you when a bigger,supposedly more lucrative project comes in.
Others advertise as electricians having no qualifications.They thrive on the basis that you don't understand what they do and as a result charging for shoddy,and often dangerous electrical work.
I set up Burridge Electrical to provide you with a quality service and provide you with exactly what you need from a qualified electrician.
