Why Upgrade Your Fuse Box?

Old fuse boxes with rewirable fuses don’t provide the protection your family needs. Modern consumer units save lives.

Life-Saving RCD Protection

RCDs detect electrical faults and cut power in 40 milliseconds – preventing electric shocks and electrical fires that old fuses simply cannot.

Insurance Requirements

Many insurers now require modern consumer units with RCD protection. An outdated fuse box could invalidate your home insurance claim.

Property Value

Buyers expect modern electrical installations. An up-to-date consumer unit with certificate adds value and speeds up property sales.

New Circuit Capacity

Adding an EV charger, hot tub, or home office? Modern consumer units handle additional circuits your old fuse box simply can’t support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about consumer unit upgrades in Leeds.

Consumer unit upgrades start from £150 + VAT for basic RCD additions. A full replacement with modern dual-RCD protection typically costs £250-£450 depending on the number of circuits and complexity. We provide free, no-obligation quotes with completely transparent pricing – no hidden costs.

Most consumer unit upgrades are completed in 4-6 hours. Your power will be off during installation, but we work efficiently to minimise disruption. Complex installations with additional circuits or rewiring may take a full day. We’ll always give you an accurate timeframe before starting.

You should consider upgrading if: your fuse box has rewirable fuses (with wire inside), it lacks RCD protection, you’re adding new circuits (EV charger, extension), or an EICR has identified issues. Modern consumer units with RCDs can save lives by cutting power in 40 milliseconds if a fault occurs – old fuses cannot do this.

Yes, all consumer unit installations include an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) as required by Part P Building Regulations. This certificate proves the work meets BS 7671 standards and is essential for insurance purposes and property sales. As NICEIC approved contractors, we also register the work with your local building control.

Yes, consumer unit replacements are notifiable work under Part P Building Regulations. This means the work must be certified and registered. As NICEIC approved contractors, we’re authorised to self-certify our work and register it with your local building control – saving you time and the cost of a separate inspection.
