Consumer Unit Replacement in Brackley - FAQs
How much does it cost to replace a consumer unit?
For consumer unit replacement in Brackley, our prices start from £425 for a small board. A typical 10-way board starts from £520. The final price depends on the size of the consumer unit, the condition of the existing wiring and whether any issues are found during testing. There is no call-out charge.
How long does a consumer unit replacement take?
Most consumer unit replacement work is completed within a day, depending on the size of the board and the condition of the existing electrical installation. Power will need to be turned off whilst the old fuse box is removed, the new consumer unit is fitted and the circuits are tested.
Do I need a new consumer unit?
You may need a new consumer unit if your Brackley home still has an old fuse box, lacks modern RCD or RCBO protection, has damaged or outdated equipment, or you are planning electrical work that needs safer circuit protection. We can inspect the existing fuse board and give plain advice before recommending a replacement.
What is an RCD and RCBO?
An RCD is a safety device that helps protect against electric shock by switching off the power when it detects a fault. An RCBO gives similar protection but does it for an individual circuit, combining residual current protection with overload protection. Modern 18th-Edition consumer units commonly use RCDs or RCBOs to improve safety.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. After a consumer unit replacement, the installation is tested and you receive the appropriate electrical certification for the work. As a NICEIC-registered electrician, AmpWell can also handle the required notification where applicable.
