Our Approach

What to Expect From Your Consumer Unit Upgrades

A consumer unit upgrade in Liverpool is one of the most impactful electrical improvements you can make to your home. Modern consumer units with RCBO protection offer significantly better safety than older fuse boards, protecting both people and property.

Our NAPIT approved electricians assess your existing supply, calculate your property's power demands, and recommend the right size and configuration of consumer unit. We install boards from leading manufacturers like Hager, Schneider and Wylex.

For consumer unit upgrades in Merseyside, we ensure every circuit is properly loaded, all earth bonding is checked and upgraded where necessary, and the new board is fully tested before energising.

If you are planning to install an EV charger, solar panels or a hot tub, your existing consumer unit may not have sufficient capacity. We can upgrade your fuse board for EV charging in Liverpool and future-proof your electrics.

All consumer unit upgrades include full testing, certification and a walkthrough of how your new board works. We label every circuit clearly and show you how to reset RCBOs if a circuit trips.

For properties in Liverpool City Centre, the Ropewalks and Knowledge Quarter, space is often at a premium. We offer compact, high-quality consumer units that fit into tight cupboard spaces and meter boxes while still providing full RCBO protection and surge suppression.

Many homes in Bootle, Walton and Kirkdale still have the original 1960s and 1970s fuse boards with rewireable fuses. Upgrading these to modern RCBO-protected boards is one of the most important safety improvements you can make, and it is a legal requirement for many landlord insurance policies.

If you are adding an electric vehicle charger in Aigburth, Allerton or Woolton, your existing consumer unit may not have sufficient capacity or spare ways. We assess your supply, calculate load requirements, and install an upgraded board that safely accommodates your EV circuit alongside all existing loads.

For commercial properties in Birkenhead, Wallasey and the Wirral, consumer unit upgrades often involve three-phase supplies, larger distribution boards and load balancing across multiple tenant supplies. Our commercial electricians have the expertise and equipment for these complex installations.

After every consumer unit upgrade in Formby, Southport and Crosby, we carry out comprehensive earth bonding checks, test every protective conductor, verify RCD functionality and issue your Electrical Installation Certificate. You have full documentation for insurance, building control and peace of mind.

Consumer Unit Upgrade Types We Cover

From simple domestic jobs to complex commercial projects, we have the expertise and equipment to handle every type of electrical work safely and efficiently.

“Adam and his team undertook a rewire of my 5 bedroom house. Everything was delivered ahead of time (only 4.5 days for the full rewire) and was very competitively priced. The neighbours commented on how they had 4 people there from 7 till 7.”

Conaty&Co. replied

Thank you, Chris, for the fantastic review. We're delighted the full rewire was completed ahead of schedule and competitively priced.

Consumer Unit Upgrades FAQs

Common questions about consumer unit upgrades in Liverpool

A standard domestic consumer unit upgrade typically costs between GBP 400 and GBP 800 including the new board, installation, testing and certification. Larger or more complex boards may cost more.
Most domestic consumer unit upgrades are completed in 3-6 hours. Power may be off for 2-4 hours during the installation. We schedule at a convenient time for you.
RCBOs combine overload protection (like a normal circuit breaker) with residual current protection (like an RCD) in one device. This means if one circuit trips, the rest of your house still has power.
Surge protection is highly recommended for homes with computers, TVs, smart devices and modern appliances. Lightning strikes, grid switching and faulty appliances can cause voltage spikes that damage electronics.
Old rewireable fuse boards and even some older MCB boards lack the earth leakage protection required by modern standards. They are not automatically dangerous but upgrading significantly improves safety.
Yes, you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) or Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate (MEIWC) confirming the new consumer unit meets BS 7671 standards and Part P regulations.
Yes, we assess your existing supply capacity and upgrade the consumer unit to safely accommodate a dedicated EV charger circuit. This is essential for safe, compliant EV charging.
We cover all of Liverpool and Merseyside including Formby, Ormskirk, Bootle, Crosby, Huyton, Prescot, St Helens, Warrington, Birkenhead and Wallasey.
Signs include frequent tripping, no RCD protection, old rewireable fuses, a wooden or plastic backboard, overheating marks, buzzing sounds, or if your board is over 15 years old. We offer free visual assessments.
An RCD protects multiple circuits and trips all of them if it detects an earth fault. An RCBO combines an RCD and a circuit breaker in one device, protecting a single circuit. This means if one circuit trips, the rest of your house stays powered.
Yes, we install consumer units with spare ways so you can add circuits in the future for extensions, EV chargers, solar panels or outbuildings. We plan ahead for your future electrical needs.
A modern consumer unit with RCD or RCBO protection may positively affect your insurance. Many insurers ask about electrical safety and a recent upgrade with full certification demonstrates responsible property maintenance.
Often yes. Solar panels and EV chargers require additional high-amperage circuits that older fuse boards cannot safely accommodate. We assess your existing board and supply capacity during our free survey.
Your entire electrical installation should be inspected with an EICR every 10 years for owner-occupied homes, 5 years for rentals, or at change of tenancy. However, consumer units should be visually checked annually for signs of damage or overheating.
Yes, we have experience upgrading electrical systems in listed and period properties. We work sensitively to preserve original features while bringing the electrics up to modern safety standards with full certification.
