Why you should get an electrician to replace your fuse box

Your fuse box (or consumer unit) controls and distributes all the electricity in your home. With its built-in safety features, it protects your home if there’s an electrical fault, power overload or when lightning strikes. So it’s important to keep this unit in good working order.

Replacing a fuse box is not something anyone can do. The job involves working with electricity, so to avoid injury and safeguard your home’s wiring, it’s best to get a Part P qualified electrician out.

Your electrician will first test the electrical installation to make sure it’s safe and working. If they spot any faults, they’ll fix this before fitting the new unit. Once they’ve installed the new unit, they’ll record the test results on an Electrical Installation Certificate.
