Consumer unit installation services
Fuse board upgrades are critical safety measures — most especially if you have been using the same electrical protective equipment for a long time or utilising old electric wiring in your property.
Choosing to do a fuse board replacement is for everyone's peace of mind knowing that commercial or domestic electrical works are installed safely.
As a domestic and commercial electrical specialist, we understand your worries if your fuse board is not working properly as this can cause major electrical hazards. We offer a vast range of domestic and industrial electrical works for your comfort and safety.
If you need a fuse board (consumer unit) exchange, fuse box change or upgrade, or professional fuse board repairs, our team of electrical contractors and engineers will share their expertise on every job.
When to know you need a fuse box change or upgrade
If you have been using the same fuse box for more than 10 years, you may notice signs of poor performance — lights flickering or dimming, or an increase in electrical usage as demands grow.
Regular brownouts are another indicator. A burning smell means you should shut off the main power supply immediately and call us for an emergency inspection.
Do not wait for these signs before you consider calling us. It is always a good idea to replace an old fuse board or fuse box to keep your properties secure and your lives safer.

FAQ
What is an RCD?
RCDs can protect against electric shocks, residual currents, and earth faults.
What is an RCBO?
RCBOs can do what RCDs can do and protect a circuit from short circuits and overload. RCBOs are essentially a combination of MCB and RCCB. A split RCD will trip half the circuits in the event of a fault — an RCBO will only trip that one circuit.
What is an AFDD?
AFDDs are protective devices installed in consumer units to provide protection from arc faults.
What is an SPD?
Surge protection devices protect sensitive electronic equipment connected to the installation — computers, televisions, washing machines, and safety circuits such as fire detection systems and emergency lighting.
Will the power be off during the installation?
Yes — the power will be off for around 1–4 hours while we swap the board, test circuits, and certify the work.
How much does a consumer unit installation cost?
Consumer unit installation costs vary from £450 to £950 depending on the number of circuits, unit type, and complexity. Use our calculator above for an instant estimate.
