Benefits of a Modern Consumer Unit
Upgrading your consumer unit is one of the most impactful safety improvements you can make to your property
Full RCD Protection
Every circuit in your home protected by Residual Current Devices that detect faults and cut the power in under 40 milliseconds – preventing electric shock and fire.
MCB Circuit Breakers
Modern Miniature Circuit Breakers replace old rewirable fuses. They trip instantly on overload and can be reset with a simple switch – no more hunting for fuse wire.
BS 7671 Compliant
Your new consumer unit will meet the current 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671), including the requirement for a non-combustible (metal) enclosure.
Full Certification
Every installation comes with an Electrical Installation Certificate confirming the work meets BS 7671 – essential for insurance and property sales.
Our Process
From survey to certification, here's how we handle your consumer unit replacement

Safe Isolation
On installation day, we safely isolate your electrical supply and remove the old consumer unit or fuse box.
Professional Installation
Your new consumer unit is installed, with all circuits wired, labelled, and configured with the correct protective devices.
Testing & Certification
We carry out full electrical testing on every circuit and issue your Electrical Installation Certificate on completion. Where the work is notifiable, we’ll advise you on Building Control registration.
Important Safety Note
Consumer unit replacement must be carried out by a qualified, registered electrician. It is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. Never attempt to replace a consumer unit yourself — working on live electrical equipment without proper training and equipment is extremely dangerous.
