Safe, Professional Fusebox Consumer Unit Replacements
Service text here
Your consumer unit – often called a fusebox – is the control centre of your electrical system. It protects your home or business by detecting faults and shutting off electricity when needed. If your consumer unit is outdated or non-compliant, it may pose a serious safety risk.
All installations meet the latest wiring regulations and come with full NICEIC certification.
Is It Time to Upgrade Your Fusebox?
You might need a new consumer unit if:
Your unit has old-style rewireable fuses instead of modern trip switches.
There’s no RCD or RCBO protection on one or both sides of the board.
The unit hasn’t been inspected or tested in over 10 years.
You’re experiencing frequent electrical issues or tripping.
Our team can inspect your current setup and advise you on the best solution.
Frequently Asked Questions – Consumer Unit Replacement Northampton
How do I know if I need a consumer unit replacement?
If your fusebox doesn’t have RCD or RCBO protection, still uses fuse wire, or hasn’t been tested in over 10 years, it’s worth having it inspected. We’re happy to advise with a quick call or free visit.
What is an RCBO?
An RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection) is a device that protects you from electric shock and overcurrent faults. Each circuit in your new board gets its own RCBO, improving overall safety.
What does a Surge Protection Device (SPD) do?
An SPD protects your electrical system and appliances from power surges, such as those caused by lightning strikes or grid fluctuations. All our consumer units include SPD as standard.
How long does it take to replace a consumer unit?
A typical consumer unit replacement takes one full day. Power will be off during working hours, but we ensure everything is safely restored before we leave.
Will I be shown how to use the new consumer unit?
Yes. Our engineer will give you a full demonstration of your new board, showing how to identify and reset a tripped circuit and what to do if a fault occurs.
Is the replacement certified?
Yes. We’re NICEIC-registered, and every replacement includes a full Electrical Installation Certificate for your records and compliance.
