Consumer Unit Replacement in Edinburgh & Lothians

Are you considering upgrading or replacing your current consumer unit? Then you’ll need the professional electricians at Energize Electrical to help. We can upgrade or replace consumer units for clients in Edinburgh and throughout the Lothians. 

What Is A Consumer Unit?

Usually found within a cupboard in your home, your consumer unit is the source of the different electrical circuits in your home. It is sometimes referred to as a fuse box or fuseboard. Power is distributed to the various electrical sources within your property through the consumer unit — including your sockets, lights, and even your electric shower. Therefore, choosing a suitable consumer unit for your home is crucial. Thankfully, Energize Electrical is here to help you find the correct consumer unit, understand how it works and replace your old one.

When Should You Consider A Consumer Unit Replacement?

Often an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) will recommend upgrading your consumer unit or fuse board. It likely indicates that your current setup isn’t meeting the latest safety standards. This can be due to several reasons, such as outdated equipment, potential hazards identified during the inspection, or new regulations that your old unit doesn’t comply with.

In such cases, replacing your consumer unit is essential to ensure your electrical system is safe and compliant.

You may only need a partial consumer unit replacement or upgrade — our qualified electricians will be able to guide you once they’ve had a chance to inspect your unit.

What Can You Expect From Our Consumer Unit Replacement Service?

  • Step 1: We’ll determine the current condition of your current consumer unit — this is typically conducted through an EICR test. Or, for more modern, smaller units, through inspection and checks carried out by one of our qualified electricians. Once we’ve determined it’s safe to carry out the replacement or upgrade, we’ll notify you.
  • Step 2: Our professional electricians will isolate the power supply, allowing us to remove your existing consumer unit safely.
  • Step 3: We’ll install your brand new consumer unit and ensure that each connection works perfectly throughout your property.
  • Step 4: Lastly, we’ll undertake a final test and issue your new EICR test certificate to let you know your new consumer unit meets all the necessary standards and regulations.
