Old houses especially Edwardian or Victorian sometimes still have old ceramic fuses. These fuses are now outdated and where possible should be replaced for an RCD electrical consumer unit. The fitting of RCD fuses increases safety for the property, especially during overloads to the circuitry system. RCDs work by acting as a breaker to the electrical supply and require manual resetting.

Many residences in the UK have fuse boxes that do not comply with IEE wiring requirements and require replacement fuse box installation. Many homeowners and landlords still rely on old-fashioned electrical systems and fuse boxes. Which can void your homeowner’s insurance or put you at risk of fire or electric shock. If your home is in a similar state, you should think about replacing the fuse box for safety reasons.
