What happens on the day
A consumer unit replacement follows an established sequence to keep disruption minimal and ensure all circuits are safely isolated, reconnected, and checked.
- Arrival and supply isolationThe visit begins with a walk-through of the installation and incoming electrical equipment. Power to the property is safely isolated at the main meter cut-out before any work on the existing board starts.
- Board removal and mountingThe old fuse box is disconnected and removed cleanly from the wall. The new consumer unit enclosure is securely mounted, and incoming main tails and earthing conductors are correctly prepared.
- Circuit connection and clear identificationExisting circuits enter the new unit and connect to appropriately rated protective devices. Each switch on the board is clearly marked so you know which breaker controls each area of the house.
- System energisation and functional testingOnce connected, the board is powered up and every circuit is checked with calibrated testing equipment to verify trip speeds and earth continuity before the installation is handed over.

“Most of my work is domestic: consumer units, full and partial rewires, lighting and EICRs on houses around Basingstoke. I test and certify everything I fit, and anything else I find while I am there gets priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill. The electrician who quotes your job is the one who does it.”

WhatsAppHow long will the electricity supply be switched off?
Power is turned off while the old fuse box is removed and the new consumer unit is mounted and connected. The outage typically lasts for several hours during the booked visit, and power is restored once testing of each circuit is complete.
Do I receive paperwork after the fuse board is replaced?
Yes. Every consumer unit installation concludes with testing and the issuing of the appropriate electrical minor works certificate, detailing circuit test readings and confirming the installation has been checked.
Can an older rewireable fuse box still be used safely?
While some older fuse boxes still function, they lack modern protective switches that trip instantly when a fault occurs. Upgrading to a consumer unit improves household electrical safety and makes resetting tripped circuits much simpler.
What happens if a circuit has an underlying fault during testing?
If testing reveals damaged insulation or broken connections on an existing circuit, we explain the issue immediately. We provide a separate written quote to rectify that specific circuit rather than adding unexpected charges to the agreed board replacement price.
Do you install fuse boards in rented properties in Bramley?
Yes. We carry out consumer unit upgrades for landlords and letting agents across Bramley, helping properties satisfy safety standards and addressing defects flagged on recent electrical inspection reports.
