Consumer Unit Replacements in Walsall
At Jay Electrician Limited, we are an established team of certified electricians based in Walsall, specialising in professional consumer unit replacements, ensuring electrical systems operate safely and efficiently at all times.
Modern consumer units, also known as fuse boards, are essential for protecting properties from electrical faults, reducing the risk of fire and electrocution. At Jay Electrician Limited, we are widely skilled and experienced in upgrading outdated systems to meet current safety standards, giving property owners peace of mind that their electrics are adequately safeguarded.
Over time, electrical regulations evolve, meaning older fuse boards may no longer protect the property correctly. Properties that still rely on outdated units with rewirable fuses are highly recommended to upgrade to a modern RCD (Residual Current Device) or RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection) consumer unit. These devices are designed to detect faults and disconnect power instantly, preventing potential hazards.
Upgrading a consumer unit comes with many benefits, including:
- Enhanced safety
- Regulatory compliance
- Improved reliability
- Greater circuit control
- And more.
At Jay Electrician Limited, we follow a structured approach during our replacement process to ensure each upgrade is seamless and hassle-free. We begin the process with an initial assessment, which involves inspecting the current fuse board, wiring, and earthing system to determine suitability. This is followed by a meticulous installation, replacing the existing unit with a modern consumer unit featuring RCDs, MCBs and surge protection. Once installed, we conduct rigorous safety tests to ensure the circuit functions correctly and complies with regulations. Upon completion, we issue an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), confirming compliance with industry standards.
Replacing a consumer unit should be considered if:
- The current fuse board is outdated, with rewireable fuses instead of modern circuit breakers
- There is no RCD protection
- The electrics frequently trip or fail
- Additional circuits are required for a property extension or renovation
With extensive experience in electrical installations, we deliver high-quality consumer unit replacements with minimal disruption to our customers and their properties. At Jay Electrician Limited, we prioritise safety, compliance, and customer satisfaction, ensuring that every consumer unit installation is carried out to the highest standards.
