Fuse Box Replacement (New Consumer Unit)
Your fuse box is the heart of the electrics. It is also the weak point we find most often in Hertfordshire homes, especially older properties still running a board that was fitted decades ago. A modern consumer unit cuts the power in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong, which protects you from a shock and the house from a fire.
We test every circuit before the changeover, so nothing catches you out halfway through. You get a quality board with surge protection as standard and labelled clearly, with the full test results and certification to follow. Most swaps are done inside a day. We fit them right across Hertfordshire and the surrounding areas.
What's included
Protection on every circuit
A safety switch on each circuit plus surge protection as standard, which is what the current regulations expect.
Labelled properly
Every way marked up so you can find the right switch in the dark, not guess at it.
Safety certificates
Full test results, certification and Building Control notice sent to you once full payment is complete.
Fuse boxes questions, answered
How much does a new fuse box cost?
It depends on the board, the number of circuits and what the testing turns up, so we price it after a look. One fixed price in writing before we start.
How long does it take?
Most changeovers are done inside a day. You will be without power for a few hours in the middle while we make the swap. We will tell you roughly when.
Do I have to change my fuse box?
Not unless it is unsafe. An old board is not automatically illegal. If yours has rewireable fuses, no safety switch or signs of heat damage, we will show you exactly what we have found and advise you with our honest recommendations.
Why does my new fuse box keep tripping?
A new board is far more sensitive than an old one, so it often finds a fault that was there all along. That is the board doing its job. We trace it properly rather than turning the protection down.
