Consumer Unit Replacement FAQs – Manchester
If your property still has an old-style fuse box with rewireable fuses, no RCD protection, or frequent tripping, a consumer unit replacement is strongly recommended. Many Manchester homes—especially older terraces—still have outdated units that no longer meet current safety standards.
J. Maybury & Sons Electrical Services can inspect your existing consumer unit and provide clear, honest advice.
A consumer unit replacement isn’t always legally required, but it is required if your existing unit is unsafe or if electrical work cannot comply with current regulations. Landlords in Manchester may also be advised to upgrade following an EICR to meet safety obligations.
Most consumer unit replacements are completed within one working day. Power will be switched off during the installation, but we’ll keep disruption to a minimum and let you know exactly what to expect in advance.
Yes, your electricity supply will need to be switched off while the consumer unit is replaced. This usually lasts several hours. We plan work carefully to minimise downtime and restore power as quickly and safely as possible.
Not always. In many cases, existing wiring is perfectly safe and suitable for a new consumer unit. However, if we identify issues during testing, we’ll explain your options clearly before any additional work is carried out.
J. Maybury & Sons Electrical Services installs modern RCBO consumer units, which provide individual protection to each circuit. This offers a higher level of safety and reduces nuisance tripping compared to older systems.
No — we take care to work cleanly and professionally. There may be minor drilling or dust, but we always tidy up after ourselves and leave your property clean and safe.
Yes. After completing your consumer unit replacement, we provide a full Electrical Installation Certificate, and the work is notified to Building Control under Part P. This documentation is important for insurance, landlords, and property sales.
