Allestree's larger family homes and mature avenues are exactly where we often find an older consumer unit doing a job a modern one would do far better. Your fuse box is the heart of your home's electrics, and a modern board cuts the power in a fraction of a second when something goes wrong, protecting you from a shock and your home from an electrical fire. If yours still has rewireable fuses, a wooden back board or no safety switches, it's well worth upgrading, and in a bigger home surge protection is especially worthwhile.
We test every circuit before the changeover so there are no surprises, fit a quality board with surge protection as standard, label everything clearly and walk you round the new unit before we leave. The work is tested and certified, and being NAPIT registered we notify it to Building Control for you. Most swaps are finished in a day with only a short break in your power, all for one fixed price agreed before we start.

Your questions, answered
How long will my power be off?
Usually just a few hours in the middle of the day. We plan the changeover so the disruption to your Allestree home is as short as possible.
Is surge protection worth it?
In a home full of TVs, computers and connected appliances, yes. It protects them from damaging power spikes, and we fit it as standard on a new board rather than as a costly extra.
Do I actually need a new consumer unit?
If yours has rewireable fuses, a wooden back or no safety switches, it's worth upgrading. If yours is fine, we'll tell you so. We'll never sell you a board you don't need.
