Yes, upgrading your consumer unit or fuse board is worth it. A modern consumer unit improves safety, ensures compliance with the latest regulations, and can help prevent electrical failures or hazards. It also enhances your home’s efficiency and reduces the risk of costly electrical issues down the line.
The cost of upgrading a consumer unit can vary depending on the complexity of the installation and the type of unit you choose. On average, prices range from £400 to £1,000, including installation. For a more precise estimate, we recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our certified electricians.
Yes, it is possible to install a new consumer unit without a full rewire, as long as the existing wiring is in good condition and meets the necessary safety standards. During the upgrade, the electrician will inspect your wiring to ensure it is compatible with the new unit.
According to the latest regulations, consumer units installed in new builds or major refurbishments are required to have surge protection devices (SPD). For existing homes, it’s recommended but not always mandatory. However, adding SPD can enhance the protection of your electrical devices from power surges.
The latest regulations for consumer units, as outlined in the 18th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671), require RCD protection for all circuits and the installation of surge protection devices (SPD) in new builds or when major electrical work is being carried out. Regular updates ensure that consumer units provide optimal safety and efficiency in your home or business.
A Consumer Unit Upgrade replaces your outdated fuse box with a modern electrical distribution board, enhancing safety, efficiency, and compliance with current standards. Our certified electricians handle every step, from removing the old unit to installing and testing the new system, ensuring your property meets today’s electrical demands.
