Your consumer unit, or fuse box is the heart of your home's electrical system. Older units often lack the RCD protection required by current UK wiring regulations, leaving your property at greater risk of electrical faults, fires and shocks. If your fuse box is outdated, upgrading it is one of the most important electrical improvements you can make.

United EV's certified electricians carry out consumer unit replacements for homeowners and landlords across Sheffield and South Yorkshire, fully notified to building control as required.

Signs you may need an upgrade:
Frequent tripping of breakers, an old wooden-backed or cast-iron fuse box, no RCD protection, planning a new EV charger or solar installation, or a landlord electrical inspection flagging the existing unit.

What's included:
Safe isolation and removal of the existing unit, supply and installation of a new metal consumer unit with RCD and RCBO protection, full circuit testing, clear circuit labelling, building control notification, and an Electrical Installation Certificate.

Pair with EV charging or solar:
A consumer unit upgrade is often required as part of a home EV charger installation or solar panel installation we'll assess your existing board as part of any quote and advise if an upgrade is needed.
