Fuse Box Installation
Fuse box installation is an essential upgrade in a modern household.

Consequently, newer fuse boxes come equipped with advanced circuit breakers hence they swiftly detect and respond to electrical faults. Henceforth, this significantly reduces the risk of electrical fires and keeps your home and loved ones safe.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I legally need to replace my old fuse box?
There is no law that says every home must upgrade to a modern consumer unit, but UK regulations require your electrical installation to be safe at all times. If your existing fuse box is outdated, damaged or unable to meet current safety standards, an upgrade becomes necessary to comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations). A new consumer unit also helps you meet insurance and landlord obligations.
How do I know if my fuse box is too old or unsafe?
Common signs include frequent tripping, burning smells, loose wiring, fused carriers that feel warm, or the presence of an old wooden-back fuse board. If your fuse box has no RCD protection, it is likely below current safety standards. A qualified electrician should inspect your system and advise if a replacement is needed.
How long does a fuse box installation take?
A standard consumer unit replacement usually takes between 3 and 5 hours. Larger properties or homes with older wiring may require more time, especially if the electrician needs to correct faults or bring circuits up to BS 7671 compliance. Power will need to be switched off for part of the installation.
What is included in a new fuse box installation?
A compliant installation includes full isolation of the supply, safe removal of the old fuse board, installation of a modern consumer unit with RCD or RCBO protection, testing of every circuit and certification on completion. Your electrician will also check that all protective devices work correctly before reconnecting the power.
Will I receive a certificate after the installation?
Yes. Once the work is complete, you will receive an Electrical Installation Certificate that confirms the installation meets BS 7671 standards. If you are a landlord, this certificate is essential for meeting the requirements of the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
