What Is A Consumer Main And Why Should I Upgrade?

A consumer main is the electrical cable that connects your property to the wider electricity supply network. Your consumer main takes the power from your street’s distribution line and feeds it into your switchboard or meter box. From there, it’s distributed to the various circuits in your property.

Outdated consumer mains typically can’t handle modern electricity demands, which can lead to power outages, or in the most severe cases, fire hazards or electrocution. Our team checks your consumer main to see whether it is outdated and needs repair/replacing, upgrading your system so it can match your current and future electrical needs.

I’ve used Harry from Driftwest several times now for various electrical work, and he continues to impress with his professionalism and quality of service. Most recently, he installed RCD protection and fire alarms, along with carrying out general electrical maintenance—everything was completed to a high standard, safely and efficiently. What really sets Harry apart is how accommodating he is, especially when working in tenanted properties. He was flexible and considerate, working around my tenants’ schedules with no fuss and keeping everyone informed throughout. Reliable, tidy, and clearly very experienced—I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Harry to anyone needing a trustworthy electrician. Thanks again!
