Fuse Box Replacement (New Consumer Unit)
Your fuse box (the consumer unit, in the trade) is the heart of your home's electrics, and an old one is the weak point we find most often. A modern board cuts the power in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong. That protects you from shock and your house from electrical fire.
We test every circuit before the changeover so there are no surprises, fit a quality board with surge protection as standard, label everything clearly and hand you the certificate the same day. Most swaps are finished in a day.
What's included
Circuits tested first
Every circuit is inspected and tested before the swap, so hidden faults are found and priced honestly up front.
Protection on every circuit
Every circuit gets its own safety switch, so a fault in one room never blacks out the whole house.
Surge protection built in
Your TVs, computers and appliances are protected from damaging power spikes as standard.
Labelled and certified
A clearly labelled board, a full Electrical Installation Certificate and the right notification.
Fuse boxes questions, answered
How much does a fuse box replacement cost?
It depends on the board and your circuits, so we confirm one fixed price for your exact job before any work starts. No surprises on the invoice.
How long will the power be off?
Usually just a few hours in the middle of the day. We plan the changeover so the disruption to your home is as short as possible.
Why does my new fuse box trip when the old one never did?
Modern fuse boxes catch faults the old one silently ignored. That's exactly the protection you're paying for. We test every circuit at changeover, so anything the new board flags gets found and fixed properly.
Is a fuse box replacement notifiable work?
Yes, it has to be notified to Building Control. That's included in the price, so there's nothing for you to arrange.
