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

What is earthing and why does it matter at the board?
Earthing conducts fault currents to ground, allowing protective devices to trip quickly. Without a functioning earth electrode, the RCD cannot do its job in every situation. During installation, the electrician measures the earth electrode resistance, and the value must fall within regulatory limits.
How should circuits be grouped in a properly designed board?
The basic rule is separation by function: distinct circuits for lighting, for room sockets, for the kitchen, for the bathroom, and a dedicated circuit for each major appliance — hob, oven, washing machine, air conditioning, boiler. That way a fault affects only one area rather than the whole home.
Do I receive documentation after installation?
You should. Ask for the board schematic with numbered circuits, the test certificate with measured values — insulation resistance and earth electrode resistance — and the labour warranty. These documents are useful for any future work and may be requested by your insurer.
Can a board be installed for an EV charging point?
Yes, but it requires a dedicated circuit with specially sized cable and protection, including a type B or A-EV RCD depending on the charger. The electrician first checks the available capacity in your supply contract; in many cases an application to increase the supply capacity is needed before installation.
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.
