About this service

The consumer unit is the heart of any electrical installation in a home or commercial space: every circuit runs from it, and it houses the protective devices that stop a short circuit or overload before it can start a fire. Installing a consumer unit involves correctly sizing the circuit breakers against the connected loads, selecting appropriate residual current devices, grouping circuits for sockets, lighting, and heavy appliances, making the neutral and earth connections, clearly labelling every circuit, and carrying out final testing with specialist instruments. A licensed electrician calculates the installed load, checks the cross-section of existing conductors, and installs a board that complies with wiring regulations and the utility provider's requirements. Whether you're replacing an old fuse board, wiring a new house, or adding circuits for a boiler or an EV charging point, SmallJobs connects you with licensed electricians with real reviews and competitive rates.

What to check before hiring a electrical panel installation

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a consumer unit be inspected?
A visual inspection and retightening of connections is recommended every 2–3 years, and a full test with measurements every 5 years for homes. If you notice a smell of hot plastic, scorch marks, buzzing, or breakers that are warm to the touch, call an electrician immediately.
Will I be without power during the work?
Yes, but only temporarily. Replacing the board requires the supply to be off for a few hours, typically 3–6 hours in a flat. The electrician will tell you the window in advance so you can plan, and in some cases can keep a temporary circuit live.
How much does a consumer unit installation cost in Centrul Vechi?
For a flat with 8–12 circuits, labour typically falls between 500 and 1,800 RON, depending on area and complexity. For a house with 16–24 circuits, the cost rises to 900–3,500 RON. Components are added on top: enclosure, breakers, RCDs, and connection materials, which can mean another 400–1,500 RON.
How long does replacing a consumer unit take?
A flat board is usually replaced within a single working day, and a house board in 1–2 days. If circuits also need rewiring or a new supply cable pulling in, this can extend to 3–4 days. The supply is only interrupted for the duration of the actual work.
Do I need a licensed electrician?
Yes. Work on the consumer unit and the installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician. Licensing matters both for safety and for situations where documentation is needed for the energy supplier, for insurance, or when selling the property. Ask for the licence number and verify it.
What is an RCD and why do I need one?
A residual current device detects current leaking to earth — including through a person's body — and cuts the supply within milliseconds. A 30 mA RCD is the standard protection for homes and is mandatory in modern installations, particularly for bathroom and kitchen circuits.
