Modern Fuse Board & Consumer Unit Replacement
Your consumer unit is the main control point for the electrical circuits in your property. If it is old, damaged, regularly tripping, lacking modern protection or no longer suitable for the way the property is used, it may be time to have it assessed and upgraded.
RYLEC provides consumer unit upgrades and fuse board replacements across Suffolk and Norfolk, helping homeowners, landlords and property owners improve electrical safety, reliability and compliance.
Our Consumer Unit Upgrade Services Include
RYLEC can assess, replace and upgrade consumer units for a range of domestic and light commercial properties, with all work completed carefully, safely and to the required standard.
A modern consumer unit can provide better protection for your circuits, appliances and the people using the property. Depending on the installation, this may include RCD or RCBO protection, surge protection and clearly labelled circuits for easier fault finding and future maintenance.
Before any replacement is carried out, the existing installation should be checked properly so that any underlying faults can be identified rather than hidden behind a new board.
Consumer Unit Replacement
Replacement of outdated or unsuitable consumer units with modern boards designed around the circuits and requirements of your property.
Fuse Board Upgrades
Upgrading older fuse boxes to modern consumer units with improved protection, clearer circuit layout and easier resetting if a circuit trips.
RCBO & RCD Protection
Installation of suitable circuit protection to help reduce the risk of electric shock and improve protection across individual circuits where required.
Surge Protection Devices
Where appropriate, surge protection can be included to help protect sensitive electrical equipment from voltage spikes.
Testing & Certification
Consumer unit replacement includes the required inspection, testing and certification so the work is properly documented.
Fault Finding Before Upgrade
If existing wiring faults are discovered during assessment or testing, RYLEC can investigate and advise on the best way to put things right before or during the upgrade.
Why Choose RYLEC?
Consumer unit work should never be treated as a simple box swap. The condition of the existing wiring, earthing, bonding and circuit protection all need to be considered before a new board is installed.
RYLEC is fully qualified, accredited and insured, giving you confidence that your consumer unit upgrade will be completed safely, professionally and with proper attention to detail.
When Should You Consider a Consumer Unit Upgrade?
Every property is different, but there are several signs that it may be worth having your consumer unit professionally assessed.
- Older fuse boxes with rewireable fuses
- Consumer units that regularly trip
- Heat damage or signs of wear
- Additional circuits needed for home improvements
- Existing board no longer suitable for the property’s electrical demands
Not Every Property Needs a Replacement
A consumer unit should only be replaced where it is appropriate to do so. An older installation does not automatically mean a new board is required, and every property should be assessed individually.
RYLEC will inspect your existing installation, explain any concerns clearly and recommend the most appropriate solution without suggesting unnecessary work.
Installed, Tested & Fully Certified
Every consumer unit installation is completed with the appropriate inspection and testing to ensure the new board is operating correctly and safely.
- Full inspection and electrical testing
- Clearly labelled circuits
- Certification provided
- Advice on operating your new consumer unit
- Professional, tidy installation from start to finish
