Fuse box & consumer unit upgrades
Modern consumer units with RCD and surge protection, fitted, tested and certified.
What's included
Your fuse board (also called a fuseboard or consumer unit) protects every circuit in your home. Older boards with rewirable fuses or no RCD protection don't give the protection against electric shock and fire that current wiring regulations expect, and they're often flagged on an EICR safety inspection.
We replace old fuse boxes with modern consumer units and test every circuit before we hand over, so you have the certificate for your records, a landlord safety check or selling your property. If you're adding an EV charger, heat pump or new kitchen, we'll make sure the board can take the extra load.

Common questions
How much does a consumer unit upgrade cost?
It depends on how many circuits you have and the condition of your wiring and earthing. We give you a fixed price after a free survey, so there are no surprises.
How long does a consumer unit replacement take?
Usually a single day, with the power off for a few hours. If testing shows a fault on an existing circuit, it needs fixing before that circuit can be reconnected, and we'll talk you through it if it comes up.
Fuse box, fuse board, consumer unit: what's the difference?
They're all names for the same thing: the unit holding the fuses or circuit breakers that protect each circuit in your home.
Do I need a new fuse board for an EV charger?
Not always. Many modern boards can take a charger circuit. We check during the survey and only recommend an upgrade if it's needed.
