The job is typically completed in one day with minimal disruption. We isolate and safely disconnect your old unit, install a new consumer unit with full RCD and RCBO protection, and issue your Electrical Installation Certificate on the same day.

Common Questions

How long will the power be off?

Power is typically off for 4–6 hours during the upgrade. We'll confirm the exact window when we quote so you can plan around it.

Do I need a consumer unit upgrade?

Signs you may need one include: your board has old-style rewirable fuses, it lacks RCD protection, it trips frequently, or you're buying/selling a property and the EICR flags it as unsatisfactory.

Will I need to redecorate afterwards?

Consumer unit upgrades don't usually require any redecoration. The new unit fits in a similar position to the old one and the surrounding area is left clean and tidy.

Is this covered by building regulations?

Yes — consumer unit upgrades must comply with Part P of the Building Regulations. We notify the work to Building Control and issue a full certificate.

Can you do this at the same time as other electrical work?

Absolutely. Many customers combine a consumer unit upgrade with additional sockets, lighting circuits, or an EV charger — often saving time and money.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Yes — all our consumer unit installations come with a 6-year workmanship guarantee in addition to the manufacturer's product warranty.
