Fuse Board Replacement
Thank you.
One of our friendly team will get back to you as soon as possible.
What we do
Many fuse boards are out of date and simply don’t comply with modern health and safety requirements. If your fuse board / fuse box has a wooden back board, cast iron or ceramic switches, or a mixture of fuses it is likely that it dates back to before the 1960’s.
Older fuse boards / fuse boxes also offer little protection from electric shock. We would recommend you have your fuse board upgraded for a new 18th Edition consumer unit.
For more information please contact us or telephone us directly.
A consumer unit or fusebox is used to control and distribute electricity around our homes. People have different names for distribution boards, they are known as: Fuse boxes, fuse boards, electric consumer box, consumer boards, consumer fuse boxes.
The main switch in the distribution board allows you to turn off the electricity supply to your electrical installation. The consumer unit should be easy to get to, so find out where the mains switch is to turn the electricity off in an emergency.
Circuit breakers are automatic protection devices fitted in the consumer unit which switch off a circuit if a fault is detected. Circuit breakers are similar in size to fuse holders but provide more precise protection than fuses.
In all new build properties the Wiring Regulations require circuits in domestic properties to be RCD-protected (residual-current device). The most common being a main switch with RCBOs protecting each individual circuit.
Re-wirable fuses have a piece of special fuse wire running between two screws. When a fault or overload current flows through the fuse wire it will become hot. The heat will melt the fuse wire when the current goes above an acceptable level.
With a old fuse board or consumer box with re-wireable fuse wire (BS 3036) when the fuse goes you have to replace the fuse wire, this could cause a few problems especially in the dark, not only that you have got to find what fuse has blown, then have to find your screwdriver to replace it.

What customers say
Really happy with the service we received when we needed an emergency electrician when our power was out. Very quick and friendly service came within an hour of call out and fixed our switch board straight away. Would highly recommend!
Really pleased with the way my Consumer unit replacement went! Very professional, knowledgeable and responsive company! I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Fantastic service! I would 100% recommend Lee and his team to others. I'm really pleased with my security lighting, you've all done a great job. Thank you!
On time good at their job. Nice friendly guys
Used Lee a number of times for some projects. Including change of the board, rewiring an oven, external lighting and light faults. Always on time, polite and friendly lads. Recommend to others
Rang Lee up at ProElec and explained the job, as the lady is 92, and partially sighted. They came the next day, as they are local to us. Absolutely fine, job done and so grateful for the speedy response. Would recommend to all.
Top quality service from Lee. Instalation of the new main panel and bathroom light fittings was completed without any issues and he made sure safe working practices were followed throughout the job. Everything was explained to me regarding changes and upgrades so that I understood it all properly, and they left the work areas clean and tidy. Friendly and professional, thank you.
Lee and Bailey did a great job setting up the electrics at our new house. Very friendly, communicative and professional. Fine work and highly recommended.
