When Should You Replace Your Consumer Unit?
Your consumer unit protects every electrical circuit in your home. If it’s outdated, damaged or no longer meets current wiring regulations, replacing it can improve electrical safety, provide modern circuit protection and support the increasing electrical demands of today’s homes.
You Still Have an Older Fuse Box
Older fuse boxes with rewireable fuses or ageing components may no longer provide the level of protection expected in modern electrical installations.
Your Consumer Unit Lacks RCD Protection
Modern consumer units include RCD or RCBO protection, helping disconnect the electrical supply quickly if a fault is detected.
Your Circuits Regularly Trip
Frequent tripping can indicate faults within the installation or that your existing consumer unit is no longer suitable for your home's electrical load.
Your EICR Recommends an Upgrade
If an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) identifies your consumer unit as unsatisfactory, we'll explain the findings clearly and advise whether a replacement is the most suitable solution.
You're Renovating or Extending Your Home
Kitchen renovations, home extensions, garage conversions and other electrical alterations often require a consumer unit capable of safely supporting additional circuits and complying with current wiring regulations.

Every property is different, so we assess your existing electrical installation before recommending the most appropriate solution.

Nottingham Consumer Unit Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re considering a consumer unit installation, our FAQs cover the questions we’re asked most often. If you need further advice, get in touch to arrange your free survey and quotation.
How much does a consumer unit upgrade cost in Nottingham?
How long will my power be off?
The power needs to be off while we carry out the testing and complete the swap — typically 2–4 hours. We’ll let you know in advance and plan this to suit you wherever possible.
Do I need an upgrade or a full rewire?
That depends on the condition of your existing wiring — which is exactly why we test the full installation before starting. If your wiring is in good condition, a consumer unit upgrade may be all you need. If there are issues, we’ll discuss the options with you honestly.
Will a new consumer unit stop my circuits tripping?
A modern unit is much better designed to handle the demands of a contemporary home. If trips are caused by overload or an underlying fault, we’ll identify this during our test and discuss the best solution with you.
What documentation will I receive?
You’ll receive an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and a Part P Building Regulations completion certificate, both issued the same day. These are important documents for property sales, remortgaging and insurance.
My house is being sold — do I need to upgrade before completion?
Buyers’ solicitors frequently flag old-style consumer units. An upgrade before exchange removes a common obstacle and gives the buyer confidence. If you’re working to a deadline, give us a call — we can usually turn this around quickly.
