Fuse Box Replacement (New Consumer Unit)
Your fuse box (the trade calls it a consumer unit) is the heart of your home's electrics. An old one is the weak spot we find most often. A modern board cuts the power in a split second when something goes wrong, which protects you from shocks and your home from fire.
We test every circuit before the swap so there are no nasty surprises. Then we fit a good board with surge protection, label every switch clearly and hand you the certificate the same day. Most swaps are done in a day.
What's included
Circuits tested first
Every circuit is checked before the swap, so hidden faults are found and priced honestly up front.
Protection on every circuit
Each circuit gets its own safety switch, so a fault in one room does not black out the whole house.
Surge protection built in
Your TV, computer and kitchen appliances are guarded against power spikes as standard.
Labelled and certified
A clearly labelled board, a full Electrical Installation Certificate and the Building Control notice.
Fuse boxes questions, answered
How much does a fuse box replacement cost?
A new fuse box in a typical Crawley or Horsham home usually costs between £500 and £900, including the board, surge protection and the certificate. Extra circuits or an earthing upgrade can add to that. We confirm one fixed price for your job before any work starts. No surprises on the bill.
How long will the power be off?
Usually a few hours in the middle of the day. We plan the swap so your home is without power for as short a time as we can.
Why does my new fuse box trip when the old one never did?
A modern fuse box spots faults the old one missed. That is the protection you are paying for. We test every circuit at the swap, so anything the new board picks up is found and fixed properly.
Does a new fuse box need to be notified?
Yes. It has to be notified to Building Control. As an NICEIC registered electrician we do that for you as part of the price.
