What is a Consumer Unit?

This unit is very important because it distributes power to your entire home, from sockets to lights to electric showers and more. Because this is such a vital part of your electricals, it is important to make sure it is up-to-date and functional, able to handle the electrical demand you need.

How do I know if I need a fuse box replacement?
You might need a new consumer unit if yours is old or outdated. This could mean that it isn’t meeting current safety standards, or it can’t handle the electrical demand you’re placing on it. You might experience issues like flickering lights or tripped fuses. This can indicate problems with wiring or the consumer unit itself. Energize Electrical will conduct a survey of your property to find the issue, so you know exactly what is needed to keep your home safe.
We will guide you through the process to determine if you need a full or partial consumer unit upgrade, and let you know if there are any further issues that need to be addressed. We understand that getting work done in your home can be disruptive, and we always limit interruptions as much as possible so you can get back to normal.
What to expect from our consumer unit replacement service
Here’s what to expect from our fuse box replacement service:
- We’ll first determine the current condition of your consumer unit. This is usually done through an EICR test, or through a small scale inspection by one of our team.
- When we start working, we’ll isolate the power supply and safely remove your existing consumer unit. This will involve a brief interruption of electricity.
- Then we’ll get to work installing your brand new consumer unit, ensuring each connection works perfectly throughout your property.
- Finally, we’ll carry out final testing and issue you with a new EICR test certificate to let you know that your new consumer unit is ready to go.
- If you need any further work, we’ll discuss this with you so you’re in control every step of the way.
- Then we’ll give you all the paperwork! Your full EICR report can then be kept for 5 years.
They managed to finish all the work earlier than expected which is great.
We are very pleased with the work done and we are pretty sure that we will contact Energize Electrical again for any future services.
I don’t think anyone likes the appearance of the cable trunking running through your living room, into the kitchen and to the outside wall, whilst you are sitting on your sofa enjoy some peace and quiet.
Energize electrical understood that exactly. They knew what I wanted. They were able to run the cable from the fuse box, underneath the house to the external garage. They were able to do what other companies could not. Again absolutely amazing.
The team were excellent. Communication was clear. Work done to a high standard. They left everything clean and tidy afterward.
