Consumer unit upgrades questions
How long does a consumer unit upgrade take?
Many domestic upgrades can be completed in a day, but this depends on the condition of the existing wiring and the number of circuits.
Will the power be off during the work?
Yes, the supply will need to be isolated while the board is replaced and tested. We plan the appointment so disruption is kept as short as practical.
Do I get certification?
Yes. Consumer unit replacement includes testing and the appropriate electrical certification for the work carried out.
