Question 1

What does the £99 fuse board health check include?

Accepted Answer

The £99 health check covers: visual inspection of your consumer unit (type, age, RCD/RCBO protection present), check of all circuit breaker ratings against cable sizes, identification of any obvious defects or non-compliant arrangements, and a written report with recommendations. It is not a full EICR — it is a fast, affordable way to know if your board needs upgrading or further investigation.

Question 2

When does a fuse board need replacing?

Accepted Answer

Replace your consumer unit if: it uses rewireable fuses (pre-1970s), has no RCD protection (pre-2008), is a plastic enclosure (non-compliant since 2016 in domestic properties), has insufficient ways for the circuits you want, or keeps tripping under normal load. Our health check identifies which category you fall into.

Question 3

How much does a full consumer unit replacement cost after the health check?

Accepted Answer

If the health check identifies that replacement is needed, a full metal-clad RCBO consumer unit replacement costs £450–£700 for most domestic properties, including all connections, testing, and Part P certification. The £99 health check fee is deducted from the installation price if you proceed.

Question 4

How long does the fuse board health check take?

Accepted Answer

Approximately 45–60 minutes. We attend, inspect, test, and leave you with a written report the same day. No power interruption required for the health check itself.
