Consumer Unit Replacements
A consumer unit distributes electricity around your home and houses circuit protection. Replacing it is a planned electrical job that needs an assessment of the existing installation, suitable equipment and testing. We will explain the scope before you commit to the work.
Assessment before replacement
Send an external photo of the board, your postcode and a short description of why you want it replaced. We assess the existing circuits, supply arrangements and relevant earthing and bonding before specifying the work. A board change can reveal defects in existing wiring that need separate attention.
Planning protection and capacity
The number of circuits, current installation and planned additions inform the choice of consumer unit. We discuss appropriate circuit protection and surge protection as part of the assessment. If you are planning a kitchen renovation or another new circuit, mention it before the quotation is prepared.
Installation, testing and handover
A replacement requires the electricity to be off for part of the work. We agree access and explain the expected disruption. The work includes inspection and testing of the installation within the agreed scope, circuit identification and the appropriate certification and notification arrangements. Any additional remedial work is discussed with you.
Your questions answered
Will replacing the consumer unit fix every electrical fault?
No. An existing wiring or appliance fault may still need investigation and repair. We explain identified issues and any additional work required.
How do I get an accurate quote?
Provide your postcode, an external photo of the board and details of planned alterations. A visit and assessment may be needed before a firm quote.
Do I need to be without power?
Yes, power must be isolated during the replacement. Tell us about essential equipment so the interruption can be planned.
