Consumer Unit Upgrades
Replace your old fuse box with a modern, safe consumer unit fitted with RCD protection. from £500.
About This Service
Your consumer unit (fuse box) is the heart of your home's electrical system. Older units with rewirable fuses or early circuit breakers offer far less protection than modern consumer units fitted with Residual Current Devices (RCDs) and Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs). An upgrade dramatically reduces your risk of electric shock and electrical fire, and is often required before selling a property or carrying out major renovation work. DP Power Solutions supplies and fits consumer units compliant with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671), issuing a full Electrical Installation Certificate on completion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a consumer unit upgrade take?
Most consumer unit upgrades are completed within a single day. The supply will be isolated for a few hours during the changeover, so we recommend planning accordingly.
Do I need to notify my local authority?
Yes. Consumer unit replacements are notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. As a registered electrician, DP Power Solutions handles all Building Regulations notification on your behalf.
Will an upgrade affect my current circuits?
No — your existing circuits are reconnected to the new unit. Any faults identified during the work are reported to you before being addressed.
