Electrical Panel Installation in Vădăstrița

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

Ask for the electrician's licence number and verify it before work begins
Request separate quotes for labour and components — the quality of the protective devices matters a great deal
Choose components from established manufacturers; the price difference is small relative to the risk
Insist on a 30 mA RCD being fitted, even if the old installation didn't have one
Ask for every circuit to be clearly labelled and for a board schematic at handover
Check that each major appliance — hob, oven, boiler, air conditioning — has its own dedicated circuit

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

How much does a consumer unit installation cost in Vădăstrița?

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.
