Consumer Unit Upgrades

Consumer Unit & Fuseboard Replacements

From EICRs to new Consumer Units, we keep your property safe and fully certified.

Your consumer unit is the heart of your electrical system, protecting every circuit in the property. Older fuseboards often lack the protection modern installations need. We replace outdated units with modern consumer units that offer better protection, easier fault resetting and full compliance with current regulations.

Replacement of Outdated Fuseboards

We remove old fuseboards and consumer units and replace them with modern, regulation-compliant units.

Modern RCBO Protection

Individual circuit protection, so a fault on one circuit won’t knock out power to the rest of your property.

Surge Protection

Surge protection devices fitted where appropriate to help protect your electrical installation and appliances from voltage spikes.

Domestic & Commercial Upgrades

Consumer unit and distribution board upgrades for homes, rental properties and commercial premises.

Testing & Certification

Every installation is fully tested and certified, with the work notified to building control as required.

FAQ'S

EICRs & Consumer Units – Your Questions Answered

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an inspection and test of a property's electrical installation to assess its condition and identify any potential safety issues.

An EICR helps identify electrical faults, deterioration and potential hazards that may otherwise go unnoticed. Regular inspections help ensure your electrical installation remains safe and highlight any areas requiring attention.

Upgrading to a modern consumer unit can improve electrical safety by providing additional protection against electric shock and electrical faults. Modern consumer units can also help reduce disruption when a fault occurs.

Older fuseboards often rely on traditional fuses and may lack modern safety protection. Modern consumer units typically use circuit breakers and RCD or RCBO protection, offering improved safety and easier resetting following a fault.

Most standard domestic consumer unit replacements can be completed within a day, including the necessary inspection, testing and certification. Larger or more complex installations may take longer.
