For your quote, include clear photos of your existing fuse box, electricity meter and the surrounding installation area.

Attach any previous EICR if available.

Only photograph what is safely visible. Do not remove any covers.​​​

What’s included in your consumer unit upgrade?

 

  • Assessment of your existing fuse box and identification of safety concerns.

  • Installation of a new consumer unit with RCD and MCB protection in line with the latest BS 7671 Wiring Regulations.

  • Thorough testing and certification, with an Electrical Installation Certificate provided on completion.

  • Clear labelling of circuits for easy future reference and improved household safety.​​

 

A new consumer unit gives you peace of mind. We explain the work completed, provide your installation certificate and show you how to use your new consumer unit.

What to expect during your fuse box replacement

​​

How long does a consumer unit upgrade take?

​​

  • A straightforward consumer unit replacement usually takes around one working day. Larger installations, particularly where an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is also needed, can take around a day and a half.​

  • The number of circuits, access and the condition of your existing installation can affect the time required.

  • We explain the expected work and timescale when preparing your quote.

​

Will my electricity be switched off?

​

  • Your electricity will need to be switched off during the replacement and for parts of the testing. ​

  • The overall job duration is different from the time your power will be off.​

  • We discuss the expected interruption before the work starts so you can plan around it. Please tell us about any equipment you need to keep running or any arrangements needed for working from home.

 

What certificate will I receive?

​

  • You will receive an Electrical Installation Certificate documenting the completed installation work and its inspection and testing.​

  • An EICR is a separate report assessing the condition of your existing electrical installation within an agreed scope. It is not the same as the installation certificate supplied with your new consumer unit.

  • We explain the assessment needed before your upgrade and clearly identify any EICR work and its cost in your quote.
