Why Choose OR Electrics?
Electricity isn't something to take a gamble on. Whether you are upgrading an older Victorian property or need a modern certificate for a rental, we handle this service with strict adherence to BS 7671 regulations. We treat your home as if it were our own, ensuring safety without the jargon.
The consumer unit (often called a fuse box) is the brain of your home's electrical system, yet in many Leeds properties—particularly our classic back-to-back terraces and Victorian stone homes—it is heavily outdated. At OR Electrics, I specialise in upgrading dangerous re-wireable fuse boards to modern, non-combustible metal consumer units that meet the strict 18th Edition BS 7671 regulations. An upgrade involves more than just swapping a box; it's about installing life-saving RCD protection to prevent shocks and Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) to guard your expensive electronics. I treat your home with the utmost respect, using boot covers and dust sheets to keep things tidy, and I ensure the main earthing and bonding is up to scratch—crucial for older Yorkshire properties where damp basements can corrode intake equipment.

In Leeds, where our housing stock ranges from modern new builds to historic Victorian stone terraces and back-to-backs, electrical safety is paramount.

From improving energy efficiency with modern solutions to ensuring your damp-proofing doesn't compromise your intake, we handle the unique challenges of West Yorkshire homes with expertise and care.
How long does a consumer unit upgrade take?
Typically, the work takes almost a full day. I will need to turn the power off for the duration of the swap, but I always aim to have your lights and sockets back on before the evening.
Why do I need to replace my old fuse box?
Old style re-wireable fuses take too long to trip during a fault, putting you at risk of fire or shock. Modern units include RCDs which cut power in milliseconds if someone touches a live wire, and they are required for most new electrical work in the home.
Will you test the wiring in my house as well?
Yes. A consumer unit upgrade is a major alteration, so I am legally required to test every circuit I reconnect. If I find any dangerous faults in your existing wiring, I will let you know immediately and discuss the best way to fix them.
Is the work certified?
Absolutely. As a fully qualified Electrician, I issue an Electrical Installation Certificate and notify Building Control (Part P) on your behalf, so you have all the paperwork needed for insurance or selling your home.
