BG Electrical has long been recognised as one of the most trusted names in the UK’s
wiring accessories and circuit protection market. ECN looks at the company’s range of
innovations and the ways it is meeting today’s market needs.
With a history dating back over 80 years, BG Electrical has built its reputation on delivering products that balance safety, reliability, and ease of installation – qualities that electrical contractors, wholesalers, and homeowners alike continue to value.
Today, BG Electrical’s circuit protection range plays a vital role in ensuring homes and businesses are safe, compliant, and ready for the future. From modern consumer units to a comprehensive selection of devices, the brand continues to combine innovation with contractor-focused design.
Circuit protection for today’s installations
The UK’s electrical landscape is evolving fast. Rising energy demands, more circuits, and the growth of EV and renewables place new pressures on household and commercial installations.
BG Electrical offers a complete consumer unit portfolio, designed to meet the needs of new builds, refurbishments, and retrofit projects. With options including single row, dual row, high-integrity, dual RCD, main switch, and garage units, the range provides contractors with the flexibility to specify the right solution for every job.
Design, compliance, and safety
Every BG Electrical consumer unit is engineered to meet the latest 18th Edition Wiring Regulations, giving contractors confidence that their projects will be fully compliant. Safety is key and considered in every stage of the design process with a wide range of devices available to suit all applications.
In addition to compliance, BG Electrical products are tested to rigorous standards to ensure they deliver consistent, long-term performance, offering both contractors and end users the reassurance of quality.
Contractor-friendly features
Ease of installation sits at the core of the BG Electrical offer, shaped by working closely with contractors to design products that truly meet their needs. The latest consumer units include practical details that save valuable time on site. Spacious enclosures give plenty of wiring room, while raised DIN rails make fitting and removing devices straightforward. Greater flexibility comes from increased knockouts for quicker cable entry, with captive screws and secure fixings adding extra convenience.
Individually, these details may seem small, but together they make a real difference to everyday work. Contractors gain faster installation, fewer call-backs, and the confidence that every job is completed efficiently and to a high standard.
Meeting market needs
With the growing focus on sustainability and renewable integration, circuit protection is no longer just about meeting basic safety requirements. BG Electrical recognises this shift and has developed solutions that adapt to new technologies, such as solar PV systems, EV chargers, and home energy storage.
The latest range includes bidirectional devices, specifically designed to support solar and PV
installations, giving contractors the confidence that systems are protected no matter the energy flow. Combined with consumer units featuring built-in surge protection and flexible device configurations, these solutions help future-proof installations, while giving homeowners peace of mind that their investment is protected both now and in the years ahead.
Support for contractors and wholesalers
BG Electrical’s commitment extends beyond the products themselves. The brand works closely with electrical wholesalers to ensure availability and convenience for contractors.
By keeping a close relationship with installers, BG Electrical ensures that new product developments are shaped by real-world feedback. This principle has been central to the brand’s ongoing success and is one of the reasons it remains a trusted choice in the market.
As part of the wider Luceco Group, BG Electrical benefits from the backing of a global manufacturer with expertise across power, lighting, and energy solutions. At the same time, the brand has retained its strong UK heritage and reputation for reliability. For contractors, this combination means every BG Electrical product is backed by proven quality and continuous innovation.
Looking ahead
Circuit protection continues to sit at the centre of safe, efficient, and future-ready electrical installations. With its comprehensive product portfolio, installer-friendly designs, and commitment to compliance, BG Electrical is proud to be one of the key names in UK circuit protection today.
From consumer units to the devices that power them, the brand’s ethos remains consistent: to deliver products that contractors trust, wholesalers recommend, and homeowners can depend on.
