Consumer Unit Upgrades & Fuse Box Replacements in Welwyn Garden City

Modern Consumer Units, RCBO Protection & Electrical Safety Upgrades

Consumer Unit Upgrades & Replacements

Your consumer unit, sometimes called a fuse box, is responsible for distributing electricity throughout your property and providing protection against electrical faults.

At Huenique Electrical, we install replacement consumer units for homeowners, landlords and businesses throughout Welwyn Garden City, Welwyn and surrounding areas of Hertfordshire.

Whether you’re replacing an older fuse board, renovating your property or upgrading your electrical installation, we can assess your existing system and recommend a suitable replacement.

When Should You Replace Your Consumer Unit?

An older consumer unit does not automatically need replacing simply because of its age. However, an upgrade may be appropriate if:

Your existing consumer unit has damaged or deteriorated components.
You have inadequate protection for planned electrical alterations.
Replacement parts are obsolete or difficult to obtain.
You are experiencing electrical faults or recurring problems.
You are renovating your property and require additional circuits.
An electrical inspection has identified defects requiring attention.

We can inspect your existing installation and advise whether replacement is necessary.

FuseBox Consumer Unit Installations

We install FuseBox consumer units, with modern protective devices selected to suit the installation.

Depending on the installation, your new consumer unit may include:

Individual RCBO protection for circuits.
Surge protection devices (SPDs).
Suitable main switching arrangements.
Clearly labelled circuits.
Additional capacity for future electrical requirements.

Individual RCBO protection helps prevent a fault on one circuit from unnecessarily disconnecting other circuits.

What Does a Consumer Unit Replacement Include?

A typical consumer unit replacement involves:

Assessing the existing installation and earthing arrangements.
Carrying out appropriate checks before replacement.
Safely isolating the electrical supply.
Removing the existing consumer unit.
Installing the new consumer unit and protective devices.
Testing the installation and completing the appropriate electrical certification.
Labelling the circuits and explaining the new equipment.

Any existing defects that could affect the safety or suitability of the replacement will be discussed before work proceeds.

Consumer Unit Replacement Prices

Consumer unit replacement costs depend on the number of circuits, the condition of the existing installation and the work required.

For a typical single-phase domestic installation, our consumer unit replacements start from £650+Vat, subject to assessment.

Additional work, such as correcting existing defects, upgrading earthing or bonding arrangements, or relocating the consumer unit, may affect the final quotation.
