Consumer Unit & Fuse Board Upgrades
Your consumer unit (still often called the fuse board) is the heart of your home's electrics. Older boards do not meet today's standards, and boards with no safety switches may not cut the power fast enough if a fault happens, which is exactly when you need them to.
A modern consumer unit gives every circuit its own protection, so if one circuit develops a fault it does not plunge the whole house into darkness. It also guards against electric shock and fire. We supply and fit good-quality boards, test every circuit and give you the certificate to prove it.
What's included
Tested first
We check your circuits first, so any hidden faults show up before the upgrade, not after.
Protection on every circuit
Each circuit gets its own safety switch, plus surge protection if you want it for sensitive electronics.
Clear labelling
Every circuit is clearly labelled, so you always know what is what.
Full certificate
You get an Electrical Installation Certificate so you have proof the work is safe and to standard.
Consumer units questions, answered
How much does a new consumer unit cost?
It depends on how many circuits you have and the state of your wiring, which we test as part of the job. We give you a fixed price after a quick look, with no guesswork over the phone.
How long does it take to replace a consumer unit?
Most are done in a single day, with the power off for only part of that time.
Why does my new board keep tripping?
A modern board is more sensitive, so it spots faults an old board ignored. That is a good thing, it means a problem is being caught. We test every circuit, so anything it flags is sorted out properly.
