Consumer Unit Replacement in Towcester - FAQs
How much does it cost to replace a consumer unit?
Our consumer unit replacement prices in Towcester 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 issues are found during testing. There is no call-out charge.
How long does a consumer unit replacement take?
Most straightforward fuse box replacement work is completed in a day. The power will need to be turned off whilst the old unit is removed, the new consumer unit is fitted and the circuits are tested. If testing shows faults that need attention, we will explain the findings clearly before any further work is agreed.
Do I need a new consumer unit?
You may need a new consumer unit if you still have an old fuse box, limited RCD protection, damaged equipment, or a board that does not suit how the home is now used. Homes in Towcester with extensions, new kitchen circuits, EV-related plans or general electrical upgrades may also benefit from a fuse board upgrade. We can inspect what is there and give practical advice before you decide.
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 certain faults. An RCBO combines this RCD protection with circuit breaker protection for an individual circuit. Modern 18th-Edition consumer units commonly use RCDs or RCBOs to give better protection than many older fuse boards.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. A consumer unit replacement is electrical installation work that must be tested and certified. As a NICEIC-registered electrician, AmpWell provides the relevant certification for the work carried out, so you have a clear record of the new consumer unit and the testing completed.
