Before replacing your consumer unit
The consumer unit distributes electricity to the circuits in your property and contains the protective devices for those circuits. Replacing an older fuse board needs an assessment of the existing installation as well as choosing a suitable replacement.
Useful information includes a photograph of the current board, its location, the property type and any known problems. Tell us about planned additions such as an extension or charging point so these can be considered when discussing the installation.
Testing can identify existing issues that require further attention. Ask how these will be explained and quoted, what access is needed and how long the supply may be interrupted. The completed work should include relevant testing and documentation. Contact us to discuss a consumer unit upgrade in Telford or Newport.
Can you quote from a photograph?
A photograph is a useful starting point, but the existing installation may need an assessment before the scope and estimate can be confirmed.
Will the power be interrupted?
Replacing a consumer unit involves working on the electrical supply. Discuss the likely interruption and any equipment or access needs when arranging the work.
What if testing finds another problem?
The findings and any additional work should be explained. Discuss the scope and estimate before proceeding with additional repairs.
