Consumer Unit Replacement Aylesbury & Bucks
Alltec Installation Services replaces consumer units (fuse boards) for homes and landlords in Aylesbury and Buckinghamshire. An older fuse board may not give the protection a modern consumer unit does, and replacing it is a sensible step before other electrical work or when an inspection report recommends it. The new unit is fully tested and you receive a certificate for the work.

Consumer unit replacement Aylesbury: what we do
We remove the old fuse board and fit a new consumer unit in a non-combustible enclosure with RCD protection, connected and labelled in line with BS 7671, the UK wiring regulations. We test every circuit, give you an electrical installation certificate, and deal with the notification of the work where the rules require it. Because the power has to be off, we agree a time with you and aim to restore your supply the same day. Scheduled out-of-hours work can be arranged. We cover Aylesbury and out to Beaconsfield from Aylesbury town centre.

Consumer unit replacement cost in Aylesbury
Our rate for general electrical work is £65 an hour, with parts extra. We are not VAT registered, so there is no VAT to add. The cost depends on the size of the unit, the number of circuits, the make you choose and the condition of the existing wiring, so every consumer unit job is individually quoted. If testing finds faults on existing circuits, we will explain them and quote separately before doing anything extra.

Consumer unit replacement FAQs
How do I know if I need a new consumer unit?
Common reasons are an old fuse board with rewireable fuses, no RCD protection, a unit that is cracked, scorched or overloaded, or an inspection report (EICR) that recommends replacement. Send us photos through the enquiry form and we can advise, or tell you if a visit is needed.
​
How long does it take?
Many home replacements take most of a day, depending on the number of circuits and the condition of the wiring. We agree the timing with you beforehand, and the power is off while the work is carried out.
​
Do you replace consumer units for landlords?
Yes. We fit the new unit, give you the certificate for your records, and can combine the work with an EICR for landlords. Scheduled visits can be arranged to suit your tenants.
