Consumer unit replacement in Stevenage & Hertfordshire
Replacement consumer units with modern RCBO protection, fitted and certified across Stevenage, Knebworth, Hitchin and the wider Hertfordshire area.
A safer, modern fuse board
The consumer unit is the heart of your electrics. Older boards with rewireable fuses or no RCD protection no longer meet current standards and leave circuits exposed.
We replace old fuse boards with modern consumer units that give every circuit its own RCBO, so a fault on one circuit no longer plunges the whole house into darkness. We can also fit surge protection to guard sensitive electronics.
Before fitting a new board we test the existing installation, because a new consumer unit must protect sound wiring. If we find faults we explain them clearly and quote to put them right.

When to upgrade
If your board still uses rewireable fuses, has no RCD, feels warm to the touch, or trips often, it is time to upgrade. Landlords and home sellers also frequently need an up-to-date board to pass an EICR.
We carry common consumer units in stock, so most upgrades are completed in a single visit with the power off for the shortest time possible.

Consumer unit FAQs
Common questions about consumer unit replacement in Stevenage and Hertfordshire.
Do I need to replace my fuse board?
If your board still has rewireable fuses, no RCD protection, signs of overheating or it trips often, an upgrade is recommended, and it is often needed to pass an EICR.
How long does a consumer unit replacement take?
Most replacements are completed in a single day, with the power off for the shortest time possible.
Will a new consumer unit pass an EICR?
