Fuse board questions
What to know before replacing a consumer unit.
Do I need a new fuse board?+
Not simply because it is old or uses fuses. The electrician should inspect it and explain why replacement is or is not recommended.
How much will replacement cost?+
It depends on the circuits, existing supply and any faults found. The survey confirms the final quote.
Will the power be off?+
Yes. The supply must be isolated during the work. The duration depends on the installation and the survey findings.
What certificate will I receive?+
You should receive an Electrical Installation Certificate, plus the relevant building-regulations record where applicable.
Is a consumer unit replacement notifiable?+
In England, installing a new consumer unit is notifiable building work. The electrician should explain how the work will be certified and notified before it starts.
What if an existing circuit is unsafe?+
A dangerous circuit must not be reconnected until it is made safe. The finding and separate remedial work are explained first.
