Consumer Unit & Fuse Board Upgrades in Aylesbury & Surrounding Areas
A consumer unit, commonly known as a fuse board, is the central hub of your property’s electrical system. Keeping it up to date with current regulations is essential for electrical safety and compliance.
Many homes in Aylesbury and surrounding areas still rely on outdated consumer units that lack modern RCD/RCBO protection, meaning electrical faults may not be detected as quickly as they should be.
We provide professional consumer unit upgrades and fuse board replacements in Aylesbury for homeowners and landlords, bringing installations up to modern safety standards and helping keep properties protected.
Our consumer unit upgrade service is available across Aylesbury, HP19, HP20, HP21, and surrounding Buckinghamshire areas.
Do I Need A Consumer Unit Upgrade?
Not every property will need an immediate consumer unit upgrade, but many homes and rental properties in Aylesbury & surrounding areas still rely on outdated fuse boards that no longer meet current safety standards. Modern consumer units are designed to quickly disconnect the power when a fault is detected, significantly reducing the risk of electric shock and fire.
You may need a consumer unit upgrade if any of the following apply to your property:
Your fuse board uses rewireable fuses or is visibly outdated
There is no RCD or RCBO protection installed
You are planning electrical upgrades or home renovations
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) has highlighted safety issues
You are a landlord and need to ensure your property remains compliant with current regulations

What’s Included in Our Consumer Unit Upgrade Service
Before upgrading your consumer unit, we carry out an initial inspection of your existing electrical installation. This allows us to identify any potential issues and ensure the new consumer unit can be installed correctly and compliantly.
Inspection & Testing
We understand that a consumer unit upgrade can be inconvenient, which is why we work efficiently to minimise disruption. Power will be isolated only where necessary, and we’ll keep you informed throughout the process.
Minimal Disruption to Your Property
Once the upgrade is complete, the work is certified through NICEIC and notified to the local Building Control. Nothing is required from you at this stage so you can sit back and relax knowing that we’ve got you covered.
Full Certification on Completion
Safe Removal & Disposal
Your existing fuse board will be safely removed and disposed of responsibly. We always leave your property clean, tidy, and ready to use.

Consumer Unit Upgrade FAQs
Here are the most common questions we get from homeowners and landlords in Aylesbury and Buckinghamshire:
-
Most upgrades can be completed in a single day, depending on your property size & complexity of the install. We always provide a clear timeline prior to carrying out any work.
-
We’ll need access to your property to carry out the work, but if you’re unable to be home, we can safely collect and return your keys.
For landlords, we’re happy to liaise directly with tenants, making the process smooth and stress-free without you having to pass messages back and forth.
-
Old units can still function safely if maintained, but outdated consumer units may hide potential faults. Upgrading ensures your home meets current safety regulations.
-
Absolutely! We are experienced in landlord compliance and provide all required certification and testing, ensuring your property meets legal standards.
-
Regular checks keep your home safe, yet they’re often overlooked. If your consumer unit is over 20–30 years old or lacks RCD protection, it’s time to consider an upgrade. An EICR every 10 years (homeowners) or 5 years (rental properties) helps spot faults early and ensures your electrics meet current safety standards.
