Consumer Unit Replacement and Upgrades

A consumer unit replacement is often needed when an older fusebox cannot cope with modern demand. I remove the outdated unit, check the incoming supply, and fit a new consumer unit with the right protection for each circuit. This usually includes RCD or RCBO protection, clear circuit labelling, and improved earthing and bonding where required.

I work neatly, keep downtime low, and explain any changes before power is restored. Once installed, I test the system and provide the paperwork you need for peace of mind.

Signs You May Need a Fuse Box Replacement

If your lights flicker, sockets feel warm, or fuses keep blowing, your fusebox may be struggling. Other warning signs include burning smells, buzzing sounds, scorch marks, or a unit that has no RCD protection.

Frequent tripping can also point to hidden faults that need proper checks. You may also need an upgrade if you are adding an EV charger, new cooker, or extra circuits. Older boards with rewireable fuses can be harder to reset safely and may not meet today’s rules.

Fusebox Replacement Services

My fusebox replacement service is planned around your property and how you use it. I start with fault finding, visual checks, and load assessments to make sure a new unit is sized correctly. I then install the consumer unit, fit RCD or RCBO protection as needed, and label every circuit clearly. I keep the work area tidy and talk you through the new safety features. After installation, I complete electrical testing, confirm safe earthing and bonding, and issue the correct certification.

Safety Checks Before Replacement

Before any replacement, I carry out safety checks to reduce risk and avoid surprises. This includes inspecting the meter tails, main switch, and existing circuit wiring, then confirming earthing and bonding.

I check for signs of overheating, test for dead circuits, and review likely loads on each circuit. If issues are found, I explain what needs fixing before the new unit is fitted.


Fuse Box Replacement for Landlords

Landlords often replace a fuse box when an electrical safety check highlights an outdated consumer unit or missing RCD protection. A modern unit helps protect tenants and reduces the chance of nuisance trips, overheating, and damaged appliances.

I can schedule work around tenant access and keep power downtime as short as possible. Before fitting the new unit, I check earthing and bonding, confirm circuit condition, and complete any fault finding needed.

After installation, I test each circuit, label the consumer unit clearly, and provide the test results and certification for your records. I also leave simple notes on what each switch controls, which helps tenants and letting agents. This makes it easier to show compliance during inspections and when letting the property.    

Fuse Box Testing and Certification

Testing and certification are a key part of any fuse box replacement. Once the new consumer unit is fitted, I carry out electrical tests on every circuit to confirm it is safe to use. This includes checks for insulation, earth continuity, polarity, and that protective devices trip within the right time.

I also test RCD and RCBO functions and record measured trip results. I verify earthing and bonding, and make sure the circuit labels match the results. When everything meets the required standards, I provide the correct certificate and a clear record of the readings. I can explain the results in plain language, so you know what was checked. You can keep this paperwork for insurers, future work, and property sales.
