Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to replace a consumer unit?
AmpWell prices start from £425 for a small board, with a typical 10-way consumer unit replacement from £520, no VAT. The final price depends on the size of the board and the condition of the existing installation.
How long does a consumer unit replacement take?
The time needed depends on the size of the consumer unit, the condition of the wiring and the testing required. We will explain the expected timescale before the fuse box change is booked and keep any disruption as low as practical.
Do I need a new consumer unit?
You may need a consumer unit replacement if you still have an old fuse box, if you lack modern RCD or RCBO protection, or if the board is no longer suitable for your home. We can check your existing set-up and advise whether a fuse board upgrade is needed.
What is an RCD and RCBO?
An RCD is a protective device designed to switch off the power when it detects certain electrical faults. An RCBO provides similar protective functions for an individual circuit, helping a modern consumer unit give more targeted protection.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. AmpWell is NICEIC-registered and Part P registered, so you will receive the appropriate certification for the consumer unit replacement and any required Part P notification.
