Your consumer unit, the fuse box, is the heart of your electrics, and on many Spalding homes it is the weakest point. Older boards with rewireable fuses or no safety switches were never built to catch the faults a modern home throws at them. A new consumer unit cuts the power in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong, protecting you from shock and the building from electrical fire.
We test every circuit before the changeover so there are no surprises, fit a quality board with surge protection as standard, give each circuit its own protection, label everything clearly and walk you round the new board before we leave. Most upgrades are done in a day with only a few hours of power off. It is all tested to the 18th Edition wiring regulations, we are City and Guilds qualified with 30 years behind us, and you get one fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Circuits tested first
Every circuit is inspected and tested before the swap, so hidden faults are found and priced honestly up front, never as a nasty surprise mid-job.
Protection on every circuit
Each circuit gets its own safety switch, so a fault in one room never blacks out the whole property.
Surge protection built in
Your TVs, computers and appliances are protected from damaging power spikes as standard on every board we fit.
Your questions, answered
Do I really need a new consumer unit?
If yours has rewireable fuses, a wooden or metal back with no safety switches, or signs of overheating, it is worth upgrading. If yours is fine we will tell you so. We never sell a board you do not need.
How long is the power off?
Usually just a few hours in the middle of the day. We plan the changeover so the disruption to your Spalding home stays as short as possible.
Why does my new board trip when the old one never did?
Modern boards catch faults the old one silently ignored, which is exactly the protection you are paying for. We test every circuit at changeover, so anything the new board flags is found and fixed properly.
