How Much Does a Consumer Unit Replacement Cost?
The cost of replacing a consumer unit depends on the size of the installation, the type of consumer unit required, the number of circuits and whether additional electrical work is needed.
As a general guide, current UK pricing sources put a typical consumer unit replacement at around £400–£1,000, although individual jobs can fall outside this range depending on the installation.
What affects the price?
Number of circuits
A larger property may require a larger consumer unit with more protective devices.
Type of consumer unit
The specification of the board and protective devices can affect the price.
Condition of the existing installation
If earthing, bonding or other parts of the electrical installation require upgrading, additional work may be necessary.
Testing and certification
A consumer unit replacement isn't simply a case of removing the old board and installing a new one. The installation needs appropriate testing and certification.
Does an old fuse box need replacing?
Not necessarily simply because it is old. However, older installations may lack modern protective measures or have other issues that mean an upgrade is recommended.
An electrician should inspect the installation and recommend the appropriate solution rather than replacing equipment unnecessarily.
How much will my consumer unit replacement cost?
Every property is different, so the best way to establish the cost is to have the installation assessed by a qualified electrician.
