Fuse Box Upgrades (Consumer Units)
Your fuse box (the consumer unit) is the heart of your home's electrics. An old one is often the weak spot. A modern board cuts the power in a split second when something goes wrong. That keeps you safe from shocks and fire.
We test every circuit before the swap, so there are no surprises. You get a good board with surge protection, clear labels and your test results in writing. Most swaps are done in a day.
What's included
Circuits tested first
We check every circuit before the swap, so hidden faults are found and priced up front.
A safety switch on every circuit
A fault in one room trips that circuit only, not the whole house.
Surge protection built in
Your TV, computer and kitchen appliances are guarded against power spikes.
Clearly labelled
Every switch on the new board is labelled, so you always know what is what.
Fuse boxes questions, answered
How much does a fuse box upgrade cost?
It depends on the board and your circuits. We look at the job and give you one fixed price in writing before any work starts.
How long will the power be off?
Usually a few hours in the middle of the day. We plan the swap so you are without power for as short a time as we can.
Why does my new fuse box trip when the old one never did?
A modern board spots faults the old one missed. That is the protection doing its job. We test every circuit at the swap, so anything it finds gets fixed properly.
Do I need a new fuse box?
Signs include old fuses you rewire by hand, a wooden back board, no safety switches (RCDs) or a board that trips often. We can check it and tell you straight.
