Hanson’s Electrical · Stockport & Greater Manchester
Consumer unit upgrades in Stockport
Fuse board and consumer unit replacement for homes and small commercial premises across Greater Manchester. Based in Stockport.
Work carried out by a NAPIT registered electrician to BS 7671 standards.
Why upgrade
Older fuse boards may lack RCD protection, have worn parts, or no longer meet current BS 7671 requirements. A modern consumer unit with RCDs (or RCBOs) improves protection against electric shock and fire risk from earth faults.
What the job involves
We isolate the supply, remove the old board, fit a new consumer unit, terminate the circuits cleanly, label them and test the installation. You get the relevant certificates when the work is complete.
When it often comes up
Consumer unit upgrades are common with house rewires, before an EV charger install, after an EICR that flags the board, or when circuits keep tripping.
