Summer is the perfect time to upgrade your home electrics—especially if you’re planning to enjoy more time in the garden, install new outdoor lighting, or finally get that hot tub connected. But before you dive into outdoor improvements, it’s crucial to ensure your electrical system is up to the task. That’s where a consumer unit upgrade becomes essential.
At Definitive Electrical Solutions, we specialise in consumer unit upgrades and outdoor power installations, helping East Midlands homeowners across the region enjoy safe, reliable, and future-ready electrics. Whether you're in Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield, Chesterfield, or nearby areas, our local electricians are ready to help.
Back to top1) Why Upgrade Your Consumer Unit?
Your consumer unit—often called a fuse box—is the heart of your home’s electrical system. Modern units come equipped with RCBO protection and residual current devices (RCDs) that quickly disconnect power in the event of a fault, dramatically improving safety.
When we install a new unit, we often recommend including at least one spare way, several where possible. Why? Because it gives you flexibility for future additions, like an EV charger, kitchen refit, or—especially in summer—a new outdoor power supply.
Having a spare way means you're not maxed out. You won’t need a full rewire just to add that garden office, water feature, or security lighting. It's a smart investment for growing families and future-proof homes.
Back to top2) Summer Is the Time for Outdoor Upgrades
There’s no better time than summer to invest in your garden’s electrics. Here’s what we can help with:
- Outdoor sockets: Perfect for lawnmowers, electric grills, or just charging your phone while relaxing in the sun.
- Deck and patio lighting: Add ambience and safety for evening entertaining.
- Hot tub or spa electrics: Dedicated circuits ensure your new luxury feature runs safely and efficiently.
- Garden office power and lighting: Make your home office productive and professional—even outdoors.
All of our outdoor electrical work includes full weatherproofing, surge protection, and grounding to meet UK wiring safety regulations. You’ll have ‘peace of mind’, knowing the job is done safely—and beautifully.
