Your fuse box (also known as a consumer unit) is the heart of your electrical system. It distributes electricity around your home or business and protects you from electrical hazards. If your fuse box is old, damaged, or not up to current safety standards, it could put your property — and your life — at risk.
At Moffam Electricals, we specialize in fuse box replacement and consumer unit upgrades in Nairobi, Kenya, ensuring your electrical system is safe, efficient, and compliant with modern regulations.

-
