Make your electrical controls easier to understand
Existing circuits assessed
We review the installation before selecting replacement distribution equipment.
Useful capacity considered
We take planned circuits and alterations into account when choosing the unit.
Circuits labelled clearly
We identify what each protective device controls after the work is complete.
Protection and distribution at one central point
Your consumer unit distributes electricity to the property's circuits and houses the protective devices that control them. An ageing fuse box, a lack of useful circuit capacity or planned electrical additions can all prompt a review. We assess the existing installation before recommending a suitable consumer unit upgrade, paying attention to the circuits already present and the capacity required for intended changes. This is important because a new unit shouldn't be chosen in isolation from the wiring it will serve. We explain the proposed equipment and scope before isolating the supply and removing the existing unit.
Clear labels instead of consumer unit guesswork
Once the replacement equipment is fitted and connected, we carry out operational checks and identify the circuits clearly. Good labelling matters when you need to isolate one area rather than play an unhelpful game of switch-and-see. Consumer unit work can stand alone where appropriate, form part of a complete rewire or support planned additions to a domestic or commercial installation. We consider those wider plans early so the selected unit has suitable capacity. Any required interruption to the electrical supply is discussed before work begins.
Frequently asked questions
Why might an old fuse box need replacing?
Ageing equipment, limited capacity, planned alterations or the need for more suitable circuit protection may lead to replacement. We first assess the existing installation and the work you intend to add.
Can a new consumer unit be fitted during a rewire?
Yes. Consumer unit replacement can form part of a full rewire, where new circuits and distribution equipment are planned together. It can also support smaller additions when the assessment shows that approach is suitable.
Will the power be turned off during replacement?
Yes. We need to isolate the electrical supply while removing and replacing the unit. We discuss the expected interruption beforehand, then complete the connections, checks and circuit labelling before handover.
