Electrical Panel Installation in Șura Mare

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

How much does a consumer unit installation cost in Șura Mare?

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.

Why do my breakers keep tripping in Șura Mare?

The most common causes are overload — too many appliances on one circuit — a short circuit in an appliance or socket, moisture in a junction box, and sometimes an undersized or worn breaker. An electrician in Șura Mare identifies the problem circuit through testing and determines whether a simple adjustment or a resized board is needed.

Can I replace a breaker myself?

It isn't advisable. Even though the operation looks simple, working in the board requires correctly identifying the circuit, choosing a rating matched to the cable cross-section, and tightening connections to the right torque. An oversized breaker lets the cable overheat without tripping, which is exactly the scenario that starts fires.
