Electrical Panel Installation in Tătaru

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

What does it mean that my board is undersized?

It means the number of circuits or the rating of the protective devices no longer matches your actual appliances. Many homes built decades ago have 4–6 circuits, insufficient for a washing machine, electric oven, hob, air conditioning, and boiler. The result is repeated tripping and overheating connections.

Does the wiring need replacing when I replace the board?

Not always. If existing circuits have adequate cross-section and the insulation is sound, a new board can be fitted to the existing wiring. The electrician will measure insulation resistance first, though, and if values are poor or the cables are old aluminium, the correct recommendation is to rewire.

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.
