Consumer Unit Replacement

Safe and Professional Consumer Unit Replacement in the North East

If your fuse box is outdated, overloaded, or no longer compliant with current safety standards, it may be time to consider a consumer unit replacement. At Electraheat North East, we provide professional upgrades and replacements for domestic and commercial properties across Birtley, Chester-le-Street, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, and the surrounding areas.

We’re NAPIT Approved Contractors, and all consumer units we install meet the latest regulations (18th Edition) for your safety and peace of mind.

Why Replace Your Consumer Unit?

Your consumer unit is the heart of your electrical system. Replacing it ensures your home is protected by modern safety features such as:

  • ✅ Residual Current Devices (RCDs) – reduce risk of electric shock
  • ✅ Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) – protect individual circuits
  • ✅ Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) – guard against voltage spikes
  • ✅ Fire-rated enclosures – reduce fire risk

You may need a consumer unit replacement if:

  • Your fuse box uses rewireable fuses
  • You’re upgrading or rewiring part of your property
  • Your electrics fail an EICR inspection
  • You want to future-proof your home for new appliances or EV chargers
