Consumer Unit Replacement
Modern consumer unit (fuse board) upgrades for improved safety and compliance.
About This Service
An outdated consumer unit (fuse board) is one of the most common causes of electrical safety failures. ARE Electrical Services replaces old fuse boards with modern RCD or RCBO-protected consumer units across South Yorkshire. A new unit improves protection against fire and electric shock and brings your installation into line with current regulations.

Common Questions
What is the difference between an MCB, RCD, and RCBO?
An MCB protects against overcurrent only. An RCD protects against earth faults and electric shock. An RCBO combines both in a single device, giving individual circuit protection — the safest option for modern installations.
How long does a consumer unit replacement take?
Most consumer unit replacements take 4–8 hours. The power will be off for the majority of this time, so we typically work on weekdays to minimise inconvenience.
Will my circuits still work after a new consumer unit?
Yes. All existing circuits are reconnected to the new unit. We'll test every circuit on completion and won't leave until everything is working correctly.
