Consumer Units guidance
How to prepare for a consumer unit replacement
A consumer-unit change involves more than swapping a box: the existing installation, earthing and circuits must be assessed.Before quotation, provide photographs of the closed consumer unit, meter area and surrounding access, plus details of solar, batteries, EV charging or recurring faults.
What to consider
On the day, expect a planned interruption to power. Clear the working area and identify equipment that cannot easily be switched off, such as medical, security or home-working systems.
Warning signs and safe next steps
Testing can uncover existing defects that were not visible beforehand. A clear quotation should explain assumptions, exclusions and how additional findings will be handled.
What helps Truvo assess the job?
Provide a clear description of the problem or planned work, the Sheffield postcode, access details and safe photographs of finished equipment only. Never remove a screwed cover or expose electrical parts for a photograph.
From initial advice to a quotation
An online enquiry can establish the likely scope, but a formal quotation follows review of the property details and any necessary inspection or testing. Every installation is different, so final design and price must reflect the actual conditions.
