Fuse upgrade

Apply for a fuse upgrade and we can update yours to an 80 amp fuse. You may need an upgrade for new installations such as electric vehicle charging points, power showers or property extensions. Check with your electrician if you are unsure. 

Apply to upgrade

Older properties may have 30 or 60 amp fuses. Apply here to upgrade yours to 80 amps. 

In order to process your fuse upgrade application, we need some details about your supply increase. These details can be provided on our online application form below.

Before you start:

You should check with your electrician whether the wires out of your meter to your fuse box (or isolator switch in more modern systems) need upgrading first.
