Consumer Unit Replacements

An old fusebox with rewireable fuses, or a single RCD covering the whole property, is a common reason insurance won't pay out, or an EV charger can't be safely added. We replace it with a modern board, individually protected circuits, and full certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Consumer Unit Replacements

How long will my power be off during the upgrade?

Typically a few hours while the old board is removed and the new one wired and tested. We'll agree a time that works for you and keep the disruption to a minimum.

Do I need a new consumer unit before an EV charger install?

Not always — it depends on the age and capacity of your existing board. We'll assess this as part of the EV charger survey and only recommend an upgrade if it's genuinely needed.

Will I receive a quote before any work starts?

Always. After an initial chat and site survey, you'll receive a clear, itemised quote — no hidden extras, no surprise charges.

How much does a consumer unit replacement cost?

It depends on the number of circuits, the condition of your existing wiring, and whether surge protection is needed. There's no fixed price without seeing the board, but you'll always get a clear, itemised quote before any work starts.
