Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fuse board, and why does it need replacing?

A fuse board (or consumer unit) is the hub of your property’s electrical system. It distributes electricity and protects circuits. Older units often lack RCDs and other modern safety features, making them unsafe. Replacing a fuse board ensures your system meets current BS 7671 Wiring Regulations and prevents risks like fires or shocks.

How can I tell if my fuse board is outdated?

Signs of an outdated fuse board include:

Ceramic fuses instead of MCBs.

No RCDs for shock protection.

Frequent circuit tripping or power outages.

Recommendations in your EICR report, often marked as C2 issues.

How long does fuse board replacement take?

The process typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on the complexity of your system. This includes removing the old unit, installing the new one, and performing all safety tests to ensure compliance.

Is fuse board replacement disruptive?

While your property’s power will need to be switched off temporarily, our electricians work efficiently to minimize downtime. Most replacements are completed the same day, with minimal disruption to your routine.

What is the cost of replacing a fuse board?

Costs vary depending on the size of the property and the unit type. Basic replacements start at £XX, with additional features like surge protection available. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your needs.

In particular, Bilal helped me resolve a technical issue, and made it his priority to get this done quickly, as I had expressed that time was of the essence.
