Modern consumer units fitted and certified across Birmingham, with RCD protection on every circuit. If your fuse board is old, unlabelled or tripping without an obvious cause, a new unit brings the whole installation up to current regulations and protects the people in the house, not just the wiring.
Every circuit individually protected, so one fault trips one breaker instead of blacking out half the house.
SPDs fitted as standard on new boards, protecting sensitive electronics from mains spikes.
Old board out and new board in with the circuits identified, tested and clearly labelled before we leave.
An Electrical Installation Certificate issued with every board change, with the work notified as required.
Most straightforward board changes are done within a day. The power is off for part of it while we swap the unit and test each circuit, and we let you know the plan before we start so you can work around it.
Rewireable fuses, a wooden backboard, no RCD protection or a board that is unlabelled and full are all signs it is due. If you are not sure, send a photo of the board over WhatsApp and Ryan will give you an honest answer.
Often, yes. Modern boards use individual RCBOs, so a faulty appliance trips its own circuit rather than the whole house. If tripping continues after an upgrade it points to a genuine fault, which we can trace and fix.
Yes. Every consumer unit change is tested and certificated, and you get the paperwork for your records, your insurer or a future house sale.
Honest advice, honest pricing and a free quotation, whatever the size of the job.
