Consumer Unit & Fuse Board Replacement in Chesterfield

Upgrading your consumer unit (or fuse board) is one of the most important electrical safety improvements you can make.
Our qualified electricians in Chesterfield and across Derbyshire install new boards to the latest BS 7671 standards, ensuring correct circuit division, modern protective devices, and complete compliance with current regulations.

After installation, you’ll receive an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and, for domestic customers, a Part P Building Regulations Certificate for your records.

What a Modern Consumer Unit Provides

A new consumer unit from S W Electrical Works Ltd includes advanced protective devices that safeguard you and your property:

  • RCBOs (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection): combine RCD and MCB protection in one device. If a fault occurs on one circuit, only that circuit trips — preventing nuisance power loss elsewhere.
  • RCDs (Residual Current Devices): life-saving components that detect even tiny earth-leakage currents and disconnect power within milliseconds to prevent electric shock.
  • AFDDs (Arc Fault Detection Devices): provide additional protection against electrical arcing that can lead to fires. These are now required in certain installations and strongly recommended on socket circuits.

 

By fitting these latest devices, we make sure your installation delivers maximum protection and minimal disruption.

How Much Does a New Consumer Unit Cost?

Every installation is different. The price depends on:

  • The number of circuits in your property
  • Whether AFDDs or other specialist devices are required
  • Any repairs or upgrades needed to bring your wiring up to standard

 

We’ll inspect your current system, explain any necessary work, and give you a clear, fixed quotation before starting. No surprises, no hidden extras — just professional service from local, qualified electricians.

What’s Involved in a Rewire?

A full rewire is a detailed and sometimes intrusive process. We carefully remove the old electrical system and replace every component — wiring, sockets, switches, and accessories. Our team uses precision wall-chasing tools with dust extraction for a neat finish, but there will still be some unavoidable disruption. We tidy as we go, and we can even arrange for plastering and decorating afterwards through our trusted local partners.

Can You Live in the Property During a Rewire?

Yes, you can remain in your home while the work is carried out, although it can increase cost and timescale. Managing a live household or business alongside a full rewire requires additional safety measures and time to protect your belongings and maintain power where possible. We’ll always discuss practical options and schedule the work to minimise inconvenience.
