Horsham's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre to the post-war estates on the edges and the new streets going up around the district. The older the house, the more likely it still has a fuse box that was never designed for today's loads. Electric showers, induction hobs, heat pumps and car chargers all pull far more than the original board was built for. A new consumer unit gives every circuit RCD protection and cuts the power in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong.
We test every circuit before the changeover so any hidden fault is found first. You get a metal-clad board with surge protection as standard, every way labelled and the certificate the same day. As NICEIC registered electricians we notify Building Control for you. Most Horsham fuse box replacements are done in a day and cost between £500 and £900 depending on the board and the number of circuits. One fixed price before we start.
Ready for the next job
Spare ways and RCD protection mean the board is ready for a shower, a hob or a car charger later.
Done in a day
Power off for a few hours in the middle of the day and back on before tea.
Certified and notified
Test certificate on completion and Building Control told by us. Nothing for you to chase.
Your questions, answered
How do I know if my Horsham fuse box needs replacing?
Rewireable fuses, a wooden backboard, no RCD test button or an old plastic board in a cupboard under the stairs are the usual signs. If you are not sure, send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Will the power be off all day?
No. Usually a few hours in the middle of the day. We plan the swap so you are without power for as short a time as we can.
Do I need a new fuse box to sell or let a house in Horsham?
Not by law, but an unsatisfactory EICR often comes down to the board. Replacing it is usually the quickest way to a satisfactory report.
