Consumer Unit Change

Effective EV Charging - Downtown Electrical

Consumer Unit Change

Your property’s consumer unit is the hub of your electrical system.

It’s where all your circuits are connected to the mains and distributes power around your entire property.

So it needs to work properly if you’re going to avoid any kind of electrical problems.

One wrong or lose connection, one component out of place and you could find yourself in serious trouble.

Changing your consumer unit can be a complicated job, especially if it involves a full fuse board change and unit replacement.

Older fuse boxes don’t have the same overload and leak protection that you find in a modern consumer unit, so it’s essential you have the latest equipment installed to avoid unnecessary safety issues.

Get a consumer unit replacement from a qualified electrician 

Changing your consumer unit isn’t a DIY job.

It can be extremely dangerous.

This is why the work should only be carried out by a professional, qualified electrician.

All of our engineers are qualified and NICEIC approved to carry out consumer unit replacements.

If you have an older property or still have an old fuse box, it’s possible it no longer complies with UK electrical regulations.

A qualified electrician can replace your old box with a new consumer unit, which includes better safety features and provide a more efficient distribution of power throughout your property.

Choosing the right consumer unit replacement

Depending on the type and complexity of circuits your property have, you could benefit from having a different consumer unit installed.

There are three main units to choose from that we can help you choose and install.

  • Main switch unit – has one main switch, which can turn off all the circuits at once.
  • Dual RCD unit – This unit lets you split loads over two sets of circuits. This means you can maintain power in some parts of the property even if the other circuit stops working.
  • High integrity consumer unit – This unit lets you split every circuit independently and is the best solution for commercial properties with a number of machine and appliances operating.

Choosing the wrong consumer unit can be a costly mistake, so get in touch with our experts and we can advise you on the best course of action based on your individual needs.

    Installing the charge point for an electric car outside our 400 year old house was a challenge which required experience and inventiveness beyond most installers. Downtown Electrical were extremely helpful through every stage of planning … More the installation, and did a fantastic job on the day. I thoroughly recommend them.

    Took my hamster to these guys for an operation and they injected it in the wrong place - unfortunately he died.. Do not take your pets to this company. Or your Hoover.Only joking, they did an amazingly efficient job installing a podpoint … More charger at my home this morning and George was massively knowledgeable and efficient throughout. My initial enquiry was dealt with in the most prompt and professional way I have ever experienced with any company actually. I highly recommend them.
