Why Upgrade?
Modern Protection For Your Home
Older fuse boards — particularly those with rewireable fuses or early RCD boards — don't provide the level of protection required by current regulations. A modern RCBO consumer unit gives each circuit its own individual protection, meaning a fault on one circuit won't trip the rest of your home.
- Individual RCBO protection on every circuit
- Compliant with 18th Edition BS 7671
- Required for home extensions and additions
- Satisfies mortgage and insurance requirements
- Surge protection device (SPD) included
- Metal consumer unit as standard for fire safety
What's Involved
A Clean, Straightforward Job
A consumer unit upgrade is typically completed in a single day with minimal disruption. We isolate the supply, remove the old board, and install the new unit — reconnecting all existing circuits and testing thoroughly before reinstatement. You'll have power back on the same day.
- Supply isolated and existing circuits mapped
- Old consumer unit removed and new unit installed
- All circuits tested to BS 7671 requirements
- EICR completed to check existing installation
- Electrical Installation Certificate issued
- Suitable for landlord compliance requirements
