Consumer Unit Upgrades

An outdated fuse box is one of the most common electrical hazards in Birmingham homes and businesses. GR Elite Electric carries out consumer unit upgrades and full fuse board replacements across Small Heath, Bordesley Green, Sparkbrook and the wider West Midlands — with full certification and Building Control notification as standard.

What's Included

  • Old fuse board replaced with modern consumer unit

  • All circuits tested and documented
  • Part P Building Control notification
  • Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) issued
  • Completed in a single day in most cases
  • Insurance compliance documentation available

Is Your Fuse Board Letting You Down?

If your property still has an older fuse box with rewirable fuses or lacks RCD protection, upgrading to a modern consumer unit is one of the most important steps you can take for electrical safety. Many Birmingham properties — particularly older terraced homes in Small Heath, Bordesley Green and Sparkbrook — still contain fuse boards that pre-date current safety standards.

A modern consumer unit with RCD (Residual Current Device) or RCBO protection can potentially save lives by detecting faults and cutting power within milliseconds. It also protects your appliances from damage caused by power surges and provides the compliance documentation that many insurers and mortgage lenders now require.

GR Elite Electric carries out consumer unit upgrades throughout Birmingham and across the West Midlands. We typically complete the job in a single day, with a brief planned power outage. You'll receive a full Electrical Installation Certificate on completion, along with Part P Building Control notification for your records.

  • Old fuse boards and fuse boxes replaced with modern units
  • Full RCD or split-load RCBO consumer unit installation
  • All existing circuits tested before reconnection
  • Building Control notified under Part P
  • Electrical Installation Certificate provided
  • EICR available alongside the upgrade if required
  • Competitive pricing with no hidden call-out charges
