Consumer unit upgrades in Yourtown
Replace an old fuse box with a modern, fully protected consumer unit. Installed in a day, tested and certified.
Is it time to replace your fuse box?
Your consumer unit is the heart of your electrical system. Older fuse boxes often have no RCD protection, which is the device that cuts the power if someone touches a live part.
A new consumer unit with RCBOs and surge protection gives your family far better protection from electric shock and electrical fires, and makes faults easier to find.

Questions about consumer units
What to expect from a consumer unit change.
How long will the power be off?
Usually 4 to 6 hours. We will agree a start time with you and get you back on as quickly as possible.
Will my old circuits pass?
Every circuit is tested first. If a fault is found we will explain it and quote to fix it before connecting it to the new board.
Is a consumer unit change notifiable?
Yes. It is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, and we register it through our NICEIC scheme.
What is an RCBO?
An RCBO combines an RCD and a circuit breaker, giving each circuit its own shock and overload protection.
