What a consumer unit upgrade includes
A consumer unit upgrade replaces the board that protects the house. It does not, by itself, replace every cable in the walls. If the wiring behind the board is not safe to put back on a new unit, we say so before we treat it as a straight swap.
- Removal of the old fuse board or consumer unit
- A new consumer unit with RCD protection
- Reconnection of the circuits that are safe to reconnect
- Testing of those circuits before the power is left on
- A straight answer if the cables need a rewire first
How a fuse board upgrade is booked
- 01
Call
Describe the board you have now, the town, and whether anything is already tripping or warm. A photo helps. We say whether it sounds like a straight upgrade or whether the wiring needs looking at first.
- 02
Agree the day
We confirm when we can attend, and that the power will be off while the board is changed. If an electrician or a survey has already said the unit must be replaced, tell us what they wrote.
- 03
Fit and test
The new consumer unit is fitted, the safe circuits are reconnected, and we test before we leave the power on. If a circuit cannot be reconnected, you hear that on the visit.
Why the old board is the problem
A lot of houses around Leeds still have a wooden fuse board, rewireable fuses, or a metal unit with no RCD protection. Those boards do not disconnect a faulty circuit the way a modern unit does. An upgrade is the job when the cable is still serviceable and the protection is not.
Tell us what is on the wall now: fuses you replace with wire, a board full of plug-in breakers, or a unit that has already been added to. A photo of the inside, with the cover off only if you can do that safely, saves a second conversation. If you are not sure, leave the cover on and describe it.
When an upgrade is not enough
A new consumer unit cannot make old rubber cable safe. If we find cable that should not be reconnected, the job becomes a rewire of those circuits, or we leave them disconnected and tell you why. We will not land failing cable onto a new board so the house looks finished.
The visit is planned. The power is off while the board is changed. We agree that before the day, including whether a cooker, a shower, or an outbuilding is on its own circuit. You speak to the electrician who is fitting it.
When to replace a consumer unit
Book an upgrade when the board still uses rewireable fuses, has no RCD protection, is damaged, or has been flagged on an inspection. A breaker that trips needs looking at before we treat the board itself as the problem.
- The board still has rewireable fuses
- There is no RCD protection
- A survey or an electrician has said the unit should be replaced
- The board is cracked, rusted, warm, or overcrowded with extra circuits

Questions about consumer unit upgrades
Will a new consumer unit fix old wiring?
No. The unit protects the circuits. If the cable is unsafe, it has to be replaced or left disconnected. We will say which one applies before we treat the job as a straight swap.
How long is the power off?
For the time it takes to change the board and test, usually the same visit. We tell you that when we book the day so you are not expecting the power to stay on.
Do you test after the upgrade?
Yes. The circuits we reconnect are tested before we leave. A new board with untested circuits is not a finished job.
How do I book a consumer unit upgrade?
Call 07383 846751. Say the town, what kind of board is there now, and whether anything is tripping or has been condemned. We confirm the day before anyone sets off.
