They’re the same thing — a fuse box is just the older term most people know it by. Modern consumer units replace the old fuse board with individual circuit breakers and RCBOs, giving each circuit its own protection. If one circuit trips, the rest of your home stays on.
Most consumer unit replacements in South Gloucestershire take around four to five hours, including all testing and certification. You’ll be without power for part of the day, but we’ll plan around that with you.
Not always — but often yes. We check your existing consumer unit as part of every EV charger and solar quote. If an upgrade is needed, we’ll let you know upfront and can carry out both jobs at the same time, saving you time and cost.
Yes. Every consumer unit replacement is fully tested and you’ll receive an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) on completion. This is the document you’ll need if you sell the property or your insurer asks for proof of work.
An old fuse board isn’t automatically dangerous, but it does carry more risk than a modern consumer unit — particularly if it has rewireable fuses or a plastic enclosure. If your EICR has flagged it, it’s worth taking seriously.
