Choosing the Right Board – Hager Consumer Units Complete Range Guide
Table of contents
This Hager consumer units complete range guide is designed to help electricians and homeowners choose the right board for their needs. Known for durability, installer-friendly design, and 18th Edition BS 7671 compliance, you can browse our full range of Hager boards for everything from small domestic rewires to large commercial projects .
Market Changes & Competition
The UK board market has shifted in recent years, with FuseBox emerging as a major rival. Their competitive pricing — particularly on RCBOs — attracted some installers.
Hager responded by significantly reducing RCBO prices, making their products more competitive while maintaining their premium quality. Some who switched to FuseBox have returned for the consistency, robust build, and installer-friendly features Hager is known for.
This competition benefits customers with better prices and more choice across the full range of Hager consumer units.
