Discuss this serviceWhat to expect
An older consumer unit is not automatically unsafe simply because it is old. Replacement may be recommended because of condition, damage, inadequate protective measures, planned alterations or findings from an EICR. The reason for upgrading should be clear before work begins.
A consumer unit change requires suitable inspection and testing of the connected circuits, along with checks on earthing and bonding. Existing defects can affect the scope, so potential remedial items are discussed as early as the available evidence allows.
The specification is selected for the installation and intended use. Once installed, circuits are tested, schedules and labels are completed and the relevant electrical certification is issued.
Common questions
No. Material alone does not determine whether an installation is safe. Condition, location, protective measures and the wider installation all need to be considered.
A consumer unit replacement requires the supply and circuits to be isolated. The likely duration depends on the size and condition of the installation and any defects found during testing.
The issue will be explained and made safe as necessary. Additional remedial work may be required before a circuit can be returned to service or the work can be completed.
