THE WORK, EXPLAINED

Understand the work before you book.

  • Existing installation assessment
  • Consumer unit replacement
  • Circuit testing and handover

A new board is part of the installation

A consumer unit distributes electricity to the circuits in your property. Replacing it involves more than choosing a new enclosure: the existing wiring, earthing, protective arrangements and circuit requirements need to be considered.

Understand what needs updating

An older board does not automatically mean a full rewire is needed. Equally, a new consumer unit will not resolve every existing wiring issue. We will discuss the condition of the installation and any additional work identified.

Plan for the power interruption

Replacement requires the electrical supply to be isolated while the work is carried out. Tell us about equipment that needs continuous power. The installation is tested and relevant documentation provided as part of the agreed work.

A CLEAR SCOPE. A USEFUL QUOTE.

What affects the quote?

Circuit numbers, the board location, existing wiring condition and any additional remedial work affect the price. Agree the proposed equipment and scope before installation.

We’ll discuss the next step with you. An enquiry does not confirm an appointment; the scope and availability need to be agreed.

BEFORE YOU GET IN TOUCH

Your questions,

Practical information about Consumer unit upgrades. For advice about your installation, speak to our team.

Consumer unit is the usual name for the board distributing power to your circuits. Older boards are often referred to as fuse boxes.

Not necessarily. A fault in a circuit or appliance needs to be investigated; replacing the board alone may not resolve it.

That depends on inspection and test findings. We will explain any wiring work required rather than assume a full rewire is necessary.
