Consumer Unit Replacement in Buckingham

Our prices for consumer unit replacement in Buckingham start from £425 for a small board. A typical 10-way board starts from £520. The final cost depends on the size of the board, the condition of the existing wiring and whether any faults need to be dealt with before the new consumer unit can be safely connected. There is no call-out charge.

Most straightforward domestic consumer unit replacements are usually completed within a day. The power will need to be turned off whilst the old fuse box is removed, the new 18th-Edition consumer unit is fitted, and the circuits are tested. If testing finds a wiring fault, we will explain the issue clearly before any further work is carried out.

You may need a new consumer unit if your home still has an old fuse box with rewirable fuses, limited protection, signs of damage, or not enough spare ways for the circuits you need. A fuse board upgrade is also worth considering if you are planning electrical changes at your Buckingham home, as modern RCD or RCBO protection can give better protection than many older boards.

An RCD is a safety device that switches off the electricity if it detects a fault that could cause an electric shock. An RCBO gives similar fault protection, but it protects an individual circuit rather than several circuits together. We fit 18th-Edition consumer units with RCD or RCBO protection, depending on what is suitable for the property.
