Consumer Unit Replacement in Harrow

Old rewireable fuse boards — the type where you have to replace fuse wire when a circuit blows — offer poor protection by modern standards. They lack RCD protection, which means they won't trip quickly enough to prevent a fatal electric shock. Replacing them with a modern 18th Edition consumer unit fitted with RCBO protection gives each circuit individual protection, so a fault on one circuit doesn't knock out the rest of the house.

Most Harrow consumer unit replacements are completed within half a day. I'll switch off the electricity at the meter, swap out the old board, test every circuit, and restore power before I leave. You'll get a full electrical certificate (EIC) through NAPIT, which handles building control notification — so there's nothing you need to file with the council yourself.

Landlords with properties in Harrow often use a consumer unit replacement to resolve C2 defects identified on an EICR — I can carry out both on the same visit if you're booking ahead. For properties that also need an EV charger circuit, we can add that to the same job and save on a separate installation visit.
