What the price includes
A fuse board visit is the isolation of the incoming supply, the swap of the old unit for a new consumer unit, and the labelling and testing of every circuit that lands on it.
From £500
Included
- Isolation of the meter tails and confirmation that the earth and bonding at the cupboard are present
- Removal of the old fuse board or consumer unit and fitting of the new enclosure in the same cupboard where it will fit
- Termination of existing circuits onto the new busbar, with miniature circuit breakers and residual current devices matched to those circuits
- Circuit labels on the lid and a schedule that names lights, sockets, cooker, shower and any other ways in use
- Dead testing and live testing of the new board, then the completion record for the work
Priced separately
- Rewiring of circuits that fail test, new tails from the meter, or moving the meter cupboard
- Building work, decorating, or cutting a new recess in a wall for a deeper enclosure
- A maintenance plan after the board is in. We do not sell those
Ways to pay
- Pay by bank
- Bank transfer
What changes the price of fuse board replacement
Fuse board and consumer unit replacement starts at £500. That starting price covers a like for like swap of a standard domestic board where the incoming tails and meter position already suit the new unit.
- Boards with more ways, three phase supplies, or extra residual current devices cost more than the starting figure because the kit and the time on site both increase.
- If the tails, earth, or meter cupboard need moving before the new board can sit, that work is priced separately after we have seen the cupboard.
- Call any time. Booked fuse board visits run during our opening hours.

WhatsAppHow much does fuse board replacement cost in Poole?
MX2 Electrical charges £500 — the rate we quote from, confirmed on survey, not a lead-generation estimate.
How much does a fuse board replacement cost?
Consumer unit and fuse board replacement starts at £500. That figure is for a standard domestic like for like swap. Extra ways, three phase boards and cupboard alterations sit above it.
How long is the power off?
Most domestic boards take a few hours with the supply isolated. Larger commercial boards take longer. We restore each circuit as soon as it is landed and tested rather than waiting until every way is finished.
Do I need a new board after an EICR?
Only if the report names the consumer unit. Old rewirable fuses, missing residual current protection, or damaged enclosures are the usual reasons. We quote the board from the report and from what we see in the cupboard.
Will the new board fit in the same cupboard?
Often yes. Metal and plastic consumer units are a different depth and width from old fuse boxes, so a tight meter cupboard in a Parkstone or Westbourne flat may need a slightly different layout. We say so before we book the fit.
