A quick starting price
Your job.
Your instant estimate.
Tell us the circuit count and whether we’ll be moving the unit. We’ll only ask about distance if it needs moving.
Before choosing a new board
The installation comes first.
Then the quote.
A consumer unit distributes electricity to the circuits in a property. Replacing it needs more consideration than choosing a new box: the existing wiring, protection and intended use all matter.
Use our quick quote calculator for a starting estimate. We’ll confirm the scope after discussing the installation and any planned changes with you.
The existing installation
The condition of circuits and the existing earthing and bonding can affect the work required alongside a replacement.
The size and specification
The number of circuits and the protection needed influence the board and equipment selected.
Access and additional work
The location of the board, access and any faults that need attention can change the scope. Ask what is included and what is separate.
Check who you’re choosing
A local business.
A registration you can check.
We’re NAPIT registered and TrustMark registered as Deacon Electrical Solutions Ltd.
You can view our listing and registration details directly before discussing your job.
Make the scope clear
What to discuss
before work begins.
A useful quotation should make the proposed work understandable. Ask about the equipment, any work to the existing installation and the paperwork you will receive.
A replacement consumer unit does not, by itself, repair every defect elsewhere in the wiring.
Assessment and recommendation
Explain any tripping, visible damage, previous reports or planned additions. The recommendation should relate to the actual installation.
Equipment and installation work
Discuss the proposed board and protection, the circuits involved and any associated work. Check exclusions before agreeing the price.
Testing and documentation
Ask which checks and installation documentation are included, and how any additional findings will be explained.
Handover and questions
Ask how the new controls will be explained, what records to keep and whom to contact if you have questions afterwards.
Planning the visit
Make room for the work.
Plan for the power to be off.
Replacement work involves an interruption to the electrical supply. Discuss the expected duration before agreeing a date, especially if you work from home or rely on equipment that needs continuous power.
Share what you know
Mention any existing report, recurring problem or planned electrical addition when you enquire.
Discuss access
Keep the consumer unit accessible and agree access to other parts of the property needed for checks.
Confirm arrangements
Ask about the expected power interruption, the work included and any follow-up before the visit.
Is replacement the right step?
A concern needs a check,
not a guess.
The age or appearance of a fuse box does not tell the whole story. Repeated tripping or a report recommendation needs assessment in the context of the installation.
If your main question is the condition of the existing wiring, an electrical condition report may be the more relevant starting point to discuss.
A few useful answers
Your questions, answered.
Does an old fuse box automatically need replacing?
Not on age alone. Its condition, protection and suitability for the installation need to be considered. An assessment is more useful than deciding from appearance.
How much does consumer unit replacement cost?
Use our quick quote calculator for an estimate including VAT, based on your circuit count and whether the unit needs moving. We’ll confirm the installation requirements and final price with you.
Will the power need to be turned off?
Yes, the supply needs to be isolated for replacement work. Agree the likely interruption beforehand and mention anything that relies on continuous power.
Is a consumer unit replacement the same as a rewire?
No. Replacing the consumer unit and replacing wiring are different jobs. The condition of the installation determines whether additional work is needed.
Can I book by completing the form?
The form sends an enquiry. The scope, cost and availability need to be discussed before an appointment is agreed.
