Installation & Commissioning Process

How consumer unit upgrades work in Exeter

From pre-installation circuit integrity checks and safe DNO isolation to panel changeover, circuit labeling, and certification.

1. Pre-Upgrade Circuit Assessment

We test existing circuit continuity, insulation resistance, and earthing arrangements to ensure compatibility with modern RCBOs.

2. Safe Supply Isolation & Removal

The main incoming power is safely isolated, and the old fuse board is disconnected, removed, and recycled responsibly.

3. Metal Panel Installation & RCBO Wiring

A non-combustible metal enclosure is mounted with dedicated RCBOs, Type 2 SPD, and balanced circuit distribution.

4. Full Circuit Commissioning & Certification

Every breaker is live-tested, circuits are clearly labeled, and an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) is issued for Building Control.

Fuse Board & Consumer Units FAQs

Answers property owners in Exeter, Devon usually want before requesting fuse board & consumer units quotes.

When should I upgrade my consumer unit or breaker panel to 200A, and does it require permits?

You should upgrade your fuse box if it still uses rewireable fuses, has a combustible plastic casing, lacks modern RCD/RCBO shock protection, or trips frequently. Upgrading to a 100A or 200A panel is essential if you are adding high-draw appliances such as EV rapid chargers, air source heat pumps, induction hobs, or solar battery systems. In the UK, consumer unit replacements are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations and require an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC); in the US, panel replacements require municipal electrical permits and utility meter-pull coordination, all handled directly by our licensed contractors.

How do the quotes for fuse board & consumer units work?

There is no charge for comparing quotes and no pressure to proceed — you decide which written quote, if any, to accept.

What accreditation should I expect from the provider who quotes?

Every introduced provider carries independent & Insured Specialist, with current trade compliance membership, insurance, and professional registrations.

How quickly can fuse board & consumer units be scheduled?

If the job is urgent, say so in your enquiry — matched engineers who can attend sooner will flag that in their quote.

What affects the price of fuse board & consumer units?

Each matched engineer prices the fuse board & consumer units against what they find on site, so the exact figure varies — the itemised quote shows labour, parts, and any callout charge separately.
