Common Questions
How long does a consumer unit upgrade take?
Most upgrades are completed in 4 to 6 hours. Your power will be off for part of that time - we'll let you know the schedule in advance.
What's an RCD and why do I need one?
An RCD (Residual Current Device) cuts the power in milliseconds if it detects a fault, preventing electric shock. Modern regulations require RCD protection on virtually all circuits.
Will this affect my insurance?
Having a modern, certified consumer unit can actually help with insurance. Some insurers require it. We provide full NICEIC certification for your records.
