How do I know if my consumer unit needs replacing?
If your consumer unit still has rewirable fuses or trips often, it’s usually a sign that it can’t handle modern power use.
Upgrading to a new board improves safety, reliability, and protection against electrical faults.
Can you upgrade my consumer unit in one visit?
Yes. Most consumer unit upgrades are completed the same day, depending on your wiring condition and circuit layout.
We test everything before finishing, so your electrics are safe and ready to use right away.
Do you provide a safety certificate after the job?
Yes, every upgrade comes with a full Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC).
This document confirms that your consumer unit meets the latest UK wiring regulations and has been tested properly.
How long does a consumer unit upgrade take?
An average home upgrade takes about 3–5 hours, but larger or older systems may take longer.
We’ll always explain the process, timing, and any power downtime before starting the work.
Are your electricians qualified and insured?
Yes, all our electricians are City & Guilds qualified, DBS checked, and fully insured, and we follow UK safety standards so you can be confident the work is done safely and professionally.
