“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 much does a fuse board replacement cost in Whitchurch?
The consumer unit upgrade quote covers the new board and testing. We assess the existing circuits and access before starting, and explain any additional cable work as a separate part of the quote.
Do you replace fuse boards in period houses in Whitchurch?
Yes, JD Electricals replaces fuse boards in period and older Whitchurch houses as well as later ones. Those homes have often been altered many times, so the new consumer unit is mapped to the circuits that are there now. Original features stay, with cables run around them.
How do you plan cable runs for a board replacement?
We check the proposed cable runs and access before starting work in an older property. Where the work needs additional cable runs around existing features, we explain that work and its price in the quote.
Do I need a full rewire as well?
Only if the existing wiring needs renewing. A house rewire and a kitchen rewire are separate jobs from replacing the consumer unit. We explain any wiring work found during the board assessment and quote it separately.
How is the new consumer unit tested?
The circuits connected to the new consumer unit are tested to check the completed installation. The tests record the electrical results for those circuits. An EICR records the condition of an existing installation.
