What happens on the day
Every fuse board change follows a structured procedure to isolate the supply, transfer the circuits safely, and confirm correct operation before completion.
- Supply isolation and board inspectionOn arrival at the agreed time, we walk the installation with you, confirm the layout, and safely isolate the mains electrical supply. The existing enclosure and obsolete fuses are carefully dismantled, leaving the existing circuit conductors exposed for inspection.
- Mounting and connecting the new enclosureWe secure the new metal consumer unit in place, reterminate the existing circuits onto designated protective devices, and connect fresh meter tails and main earthing conductors. Each circuit breaker is clearly labelled to match the specific rooms and appliances it controls.
- Energisation, testing, and handoverPower is energised again to perform electrical tests across every circuit, checking earth loop impedance, polarity, and trip times. We verify that all breakers respond correctly under fault conditions, tidy up all debris, and complete the installation paperwork.

“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.”

WhatsAppWhat is included in a consumer unit replacement?
The work covers the safe disconnection and removal of your existing fuse board, the mounting of a new metal consumer unit, landing the existing circuits onto new protective breakers, full electrical testing of each connected circuit, and the issuing of the installation paperwork.
How long will my electricity be switched off?
The mains power must be isolated while the old board is removed and the new consumer unit is mounted and wired. We keep the disruption as brief as possible, restoring the power supply once all circuits are secured and basic dead testing is successfully completed.
Do I receive a certificate after the consumer unit is fitted?
Yes. Every consumer unit change requires formal electrical documentation. We carry out the necessary testing upon completion and issue a minor works certificate recording the protective device ratings, circuit details, and measured test figures.
What happens if an existing circuit has an electrical fault?
Modern consumer units are sensitive and will not energise a circuit that has damaged insulation or a dangerous fault. If a fault is discovered when testing the existing wiring, we locate the problem, explain the situation, and provide a separate written price to repair that specific circuit.
Can you change the consumer unit in a tenanted flat or house?
Yes. JD Electricals offers consumer unit upgrades in Rooksdown. The work involves disconnecting the old board, connecting the circuits to the new consumer unit and testing the installation.
