Consumer unit replacement services from JD Electricals

Consumer unit replacement in Gosport

Fuse board replacement in Gosport starts from £650 and covers consumer unit upgrades in PO12 homes, including Stoke Road terraces where boards often sit in original cupboards.

“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.”

Consumer unit replacement pricing

Pricing for a consumer unit change reflects the equipment fitted on the day and the number of circuits being brought onto the new board.

  • The price covers removing the old board, supplying and mounting the new consumer unit, connecting existing circuits and testing.
  • The total price varies according to the overall size of the consumer unit and how many individual circuits must be connected.
  • Any separate remedial wiring required for damaged household circuits is priced in writing on its own terms.

Fuse board replacement in Gosport

  • JD Electricals carries out consumer unit upgrades for homeowners and landlords across Gosport. When an older board cannot safely support everyday household demands, we fit a modern enclosure with dedicated circuit protection.
  • Homes that still rely on cast-iron cases, wooden backs or rewireable fuse carriers carry components that no longer match current electrical standards. We safely remove the outdated board and replace it with an enclosed unit featuring modern miniature circuit breakers.
  • If circuit breakers regularly trip, switches refuse to reset or the casing feels warm during regular use, the existing setup may be overloaded or failing. We examine the incoming wiring and replace the unit to ensure each domestic circuit runs with adequate safety margins.
  • Installing an electric shower, a modern induction hob or an updated kitchen often demands more capacity than an original board allows. We fit replacement consumer units with sufficient capacity and spare ways to support these additional household appliances safely.

What happens during a board replacement visit

A fuse board swap requires a planned period of power isolation while the old unit is taken down, the new unit is mounted and the circuits are fully checked.

  1. 01

    Mains isolation and preparation

    On arrival at the property, we confirm the layout of the current fuse board, trace the outgoing cables, and disconnect the mains supply safely so the existing enclosure can be dismounted.

  2. 02

    Mounting and connecting the new unit

    We secure the new consumer unit to the wall, dress the existing circuit cables into the casing, and connect each supply cable to its individual protective breaker according to the planned schedule.

  3. 03

    Circuit testing and labelling

    Once the wiring is terminated, we test the circuits to verify correct operation, re-energise the installation, label each switch legibly, and complete the relevant electrical paperwork.

Other domestic electrical services

Alongside consumer unit replacements, we carry out electrical installation condition reports, full and partial rewires, and indoor and outdoor domestic lighting installations.

Frequently asked questions about fuse boards

Common queries from property owners regarding consumer unit upgrades, power interruptions and testing requirements.

What is covered in the price of a fuse board replacement?+

The price covers the safe disconnection and removal of the old unit, the supply and mounting of a modern consumer unit, connecting your existing domestic circuits onto new breakers, testing the installation and providing the completion certificate. Any extra remedial work required to replace faulty existing wiring is quoted separately.

— James Dunn

How long will the electricity be turned off during the work?+

The incoming electrical supply must be isolated while the old casing is removed and the new consumer unit is mounted and wired. Power is restored once all circuits are secured and baseline testing confirms the installation is safe to switch back on, which takes place within the single booked visit.

— James Dunn

Will I receive paperwork after the consumer unit upgrade?+

Yes. Every consumer unit replacement is followed by testing, and the relevant electrical certificate is issued to record the installation of the board and the safety verification of the connected circuits.

Can you upgrade a fuse board in a tenanted flat or house?+

Yes. We carry out consumer unit upgrades for landlords and letting agents across Gosport properties. Visits can be arranged to suit access requirements, and the completed certification is provided directly upon completion.

What happens if a circuit tests poorly during the upgrade?+

If an existing household circuit shows an electrical fault or insulation breakdown when connected to the new board, we identify the issue to you clearly. Any necessary rewiring or fault correction is quoted separately rather than added without notice.
