Consumer Unit Replacement
Stay Safe & Compliant With MJP Electrical
There are several important reasons you may need to replace your consumer unit (fuse board) if you live in our service area. Older fuse boxes often lack modern safety features, putting your home, family, or tenants at risk of electrical faults, fire, and non-compliance with current regulations. If your property is experiencing frequent power trips, has an outdated or damaged consumer unit, or has been flagged during an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report), it’s time to consider an upgrade to ensure ongoing safety and reliability.
Many properties in our service area still have fuse boards that don’t meet the latest UK wiring regulations. Upgrading to a modern, RCBO-protected consumer unit not only brings your electrical system up to current standards but also provides enhanced protection against electric shock and fire. This is especially important for landlords, as up-to-date consumer units are required to pass safety checks and meet legal obligations for rental properties. Failing to upgrade could result in failed inspections, legal issues, or increased risk to your tenants.
If you’re renovating an older property, moving into a new home, or planning significant electrical work, replacing your consumer unit is a crucial step in future-proofing your electrics. A new consumer unit can prevent unexpected faults, reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, and give you peace of mind that your property is protected. For homeowners, this means safeguarding your investment and your family’s well-being. For landlords and business owners, it ensures you remain compliant and avoid costly disruptions.
MJP Electrical’s NICEIC-approved electricians provide a comprehensive service, starting with a thorough assessment of your existing installation. We’ll explain your options in plain English, recommend the best solution for your needs, and carry out all work to the highest standards with minimal disruption. You’ll receive clear, upfront pricing and full certification once the installation is complete. Protect your property and loved ones, book your consumer unit inspection or replacement with MJP Electrical in your area today.
Frequently Asked Questions

The consumer unit is the heart of your electrical system, and comes in many shapes and sizes. The unit distributes the electricity, via fuses or circuit breakers, to the different circuits such as sockets or lighting. Modern consumer units are designed to help reduce electrical risks by incorporating Residual Current Devices (RCDs). In the event if an electrical fault, these devices disconnect the electrical supply thus reducing the risk of electric shock or fire. Miniature circuit breakers also make resetting the system more convenient than replacing old style fuse-wire.
A Consumer Unit or Fuse board is the single most important electrical device in any building. It protects electrical appliances from damage and more importantly, human beings from electrical shock.
The cost of installing a new consumer unit is around £250 to £600. However, this may increase if you require an electrical installation condition report, as this normally costs around £100 to £300 depending on the size of your property.

You should contact us if you suspect that any of the following may apply to your old fusebox
- The fuse-board cover is missing
- The fuse-board is damaged
- There are any exposed live parts
- The fuse-board is showing signs of over-heating
- The fuse-board is overloaded
- RCD protection is not provided
A fuse box and a consumer unit serve the same purpose. They distribute electricity in your house through multiple circuits and instantly turn the power off whenever a power overload occurs on one of the circuits, which is commonly known as “tripping”
In short No. Unsafe Yes, Non-compliant with the current regulations (BS7671:2008) If the fusebox is old and has fuse wire type fuses, it is worth upgrading it, as modern ones have RCD protection built in, which will literally save your life in the event of a fault.
Basically speaking, any consumer unit without an RCD needs an upgrade. This doesn’t always mean a whole new consumer unit so it is essential you speak to a registered, qualified electrician who can decide what needs to be done
