Consumer Unit & Fuseboard Upgrades

Your consumer unit is the heart of your home’s electrical installation. Upgrading to a modern board with appropriate protection improves safety and brings your system in line with current standards.

Hitches & Glitches Electrical Services provides professional consumer unit upgrades for homes in Watford and the surrounding areas.

Why upgrade your consumer unit?

You may benefit from a consumer unit upgrade if:

Your existing fuseboard uses rewirable fuses
There is limited or no RCD protection
You are adding new circuits or significant loads (e.g. EV charger)
Your installation has not been updated for many years

A modern consumer unit provides improved protection for both people and property.

What is included

A typical consumer unit upgrade includes:

Assessment of the existing installation
Safe isolation and removal of the old board
Installation of a modern consumer unit with suitable protective devices
Testing of all circuits connected to the new board
Labelling, documentation and certification

We will also advise on any remedial work identified during testing.

Supporting home improvements

Consumer unit upgrades are often carried out alongside:

House rewires
EV charger installations
Kitchen or extension works

We can coordinate the work with other planned improvements for a smooth process.
