Consumer unit upgrades in Leeds are one of our most common jobs, and one of the most worthwhile safety improvements you can make to an older property. An old fuse box with rewireable fuses, or a plastic consumer unit with no RCD protection, offers far less protection against electric shock and fire than a modern unit.
Signs it might be time for an upgrade include an old-style fuse box, frequent nuisance tripping, or an EICR report that's flagged the existing unit as a safety concern. We fit modern, metal-enclosed consumer units with RCD and RCBO protection on each circuit, in line with the 18th Edition wiring regulations.
As NICEIC-registered electricians, all consumer unit installations are tested and certified, with Building Control notified where required, so you have full paperwork confirming the work is safe and compliant.

Do I need to upgrade my consumer unit?
If you have an old fuse box with rewireable fuses, a black plastic consumer unit with no RCD protection, or you're experiencing nuisance tripping, it's worth having it assessed. An EICR will confirm whether an upgrade is recommended.
Is a consumer unit upgrade notifiable work?
Yes, replacing a consumer unit is notifiable under Building Regulations Part P. As an NICEIC-registered electrician, we self-certify the work and notify Building Control on your behalf.
How long does a consumer unit upgrade take?
Most consumer unit upgrades are completed in a single day, though this can vary depending on the number of circuits and any additional work identified.
Will I lose power during the upgrade?
Yes, the supply needs to be isolated while the old unit is removed and the new one fitted and tested. We'll agree a convenient time and keep any downtime to a minimum.
How much does a consumer unit upgrade cost in Leeds?
Cost depends on the number of circuits and the condition of the existing installation. Get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote.
