North London electricians
Fuse box and consumer unit upgrades
An old fuse box with rewireable fuses has no RCD protection, so it cannot cut the power fast enough if someone touches a live fault. A new consumer unit can. Most upgrades take a day.

Questions
How long will the power be off?
Most of the working day. We tell you when it goes off and when it comes back, and keep the fridge-freezer off for as short a time as we can.
How do I know if I need one?
Fuses you can rewire, a wooden backboard, no RCD switch, or a board that trips for no clear reason are all signs. We check and tell you straight.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. Consumer unit replacements are tested and certified by a NICEIC-registered electrician in our crew and notified under Building Regulations.
What if testing finds faults?
A new board can trip on faults the old fuses ignored. If we find one, we show you and price the fix before doing it.
