Consumer Unit Replacement in Peterborough

An outdated consumer unit in your Peterborough property is a safety risk. Rewirable fuses, old MCBs without RCD protection and non-compliant boards leave your installation vulnerable and can affect your home insurance. We replace consumer units to current BS 7671 18th Edition requirements, using quality boards with RCBO protection for every circuit. All work is Part P self-certified and full documentation is provided.

We are NAPIT registered and TrustMark endorsed — covering Peterborough and the wider Cambridgeshire area. Every installation comes with full documentation, certification and our workmanship guarantee.

Common Questions

Consumer Unit FAQs
for Peterborough

How much does a consumer unit replacement cost in Peterborough?+
Consumer unit replacement in Peterborough starts from £595 for a BG board, £695 for a FuseBox board and £795 for a Hager board. The final price depends on the number of circuits, board size (from 2-way to 20-way), cable condition and the location of the consumer unit.
How long does a consumer unit replacement take in Peterborough?+
A standard consumer unit replacement in Peterborough typically takes four to six hours for a domestic property. We'll have your power off for the minimum time necessary and restore it as soon as the new board is installed and tested.
Do I need a consumer unit replacement or an EICR first?+
If your installation hasn't been tested recently, we often recommend an EICR first to identify any existing faults before specifying a new consumer unit. We can combine an EICR with a consumer unit replacement at a reduced overall cost — ask us about this at the survey stage.
What is an RCBO and why does it matter?+
An RCBO (Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent protection) protects a single circuit against both overloads and earth faults. Fitting RCBOs to every circuit — rather than a shared RCD — means a fault on one circuit does not trip your whole property. We fit RCBOs as standard on all consumer unit replacements.
Will my consumer unit replacement include AFDD protection?+
AFDDs (Arc Fault Detection Devices) are recommended under the 18th Edition Amendment 2 for specific room types. We advise on AFDD requirements at the survey stage and can include them where applicable.
