Consumer Unit Upgrades London

Premium Fuse Board Replacement for Safer, Smarter London Homes

Your consumer unit is the heart of your home’s electrical system. If it is old, overloaded, damaged, fitted with outdated fuses, or missing modern protection, it may no longer offer the level of safety expected in a modern property. Luxtric provides professional consumer unit upgrades for homeowners, landlords, developers and managing agents across London, with a focus on premium residential properties in St John’s Wood, Mayfair, Maida Vale, Hampstead, Kensington, Chelsea and surrounding areas. Our work is carried out by qualified, insured and professionally presented electricians who respect your home from the moment we arrive. We use dust sheets, wear overshoes where required, explain the work clearly and leave the property clean and tidy.

Is Your Fuse Board Outdated?

Many London homes still have older fuse boards that were never designed for the demands of modern living. Smart lighting, induction hobs, EV chargers, home offices, underfloor heating, garden power and high-end appliances all place extra load on your electrical installation.

You may need a consumer unit upgrade if:

Your property still has rewireable fuses
Your fuse board has no RCD or RCBO protection
Circuits trip regularly
You are planning a renovation, extension or kitchen upgrade
You are installing new circuits
Your existing board is damaged, crowded or poorly labelled
An EICR has identified the board as unsatisfactory
You are preparing a rental property for compliance
You want better protection against electric shock and electrical faults

A modern consumer unit gives your home cleaner circuit separation, improved safety protection and a more professional electrical setup.

We do not simply swap the board and walk away. A proper consumer unit upgrade includes inspection, testing and verification to make sure the installation is safe and suitable.

Our Consumer Unit Upgrade Process

1. Initial Enquiry

You contact Luxtric with details of your property, existing fuse board and what you need. Photos can help us understand the current setup before attending.

2. Site Visit or Assessment

For many consumer unit upgrades, we recommend a site visit. This allows us to check the existing board, earthing, bonding, meter position, circuit condition and access.

3. Clear Quotation

You receive a clear quotation before work begins. We explain what is included, what may need further investigation and whether any existing faults could affect the upgrade.

4. Installation

Your old consumer unit is removed and replaced with a modern unit designed for your installation. We work carefully, protect the surrounding area and aim to keep disruption controlled.

5. Testing & Certification

Once installed, the circuits are tested and the relevant certification is issued after completion. Your board is labelled and explained clearly.

Do You Need Testing Before a Consumer Unit Upgrade?

In many cases, yes.

A new consumer unit can expose existing faults that an old fuse board did not properly detect. For example, borrowed neutrals, insulation faults, damaged accessories, incorrect connections or poorly altered circuits may cause RCBOs or RCDs to trip once the new board is fitted.

That does not mean the new board is the problem. It usually means the new protection is doing its job.

This is why Luxtric takes testing seriously. We check the installation properly and explain any issues before or during the upgrade. If fault finding is required, we deal with it professionally and keep you informed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a consumer unit upgrade take?

Most standard consumer unit upgrades can be completed in a day, depending on the size of the board and the condition of the existing installation. Larger properties or installations with faults may take longer.

Will my power be off?

Yes, the power will need to be isolated while the board is being replaced and tested. We will explain this before the work begins.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. Testing and certification are part of the process. Certification is issued after the work has been completed and paid for.

Can you upgrade old fuse boards?

Yes. We replace older fuse boards with modern consumer units that provide improved protection and better circuit control.

What happens if there are faults?

If faults are found, we explain the issue clearly and advise on the safest way to resolve it. Some faults only become obvious once modern protection is installed.

Are you insured and qualified?

Yes. Luxtric electricians are qualified, NAPIT registered, DBS checked and fully insured.
