Why Choose OR Electrics?
We understand that inviting a tradesperson into your property requires trust. Our team is dedicated to delivering high-quality workmanship, ensuring every aspect of our service meets rigorous standards.
The consumer unit (often called a fuse box) is the heart of your home's electrical safety, but too many properties in Leeds are still running on outdated technology. If you are still pulling out fuse wire to fix a blown circuit or relying on old plastic units without RCD protection, your home isn't as safe as it should be. At OR Electrics, I don't just swap boxes; I upgrade your entire safety system to meet the latest BS 7671 18th Edition regulations. This usually involves installing metal-clad non-combustible units equipped with RCBOs—which prevent one faulty appliance from knocking out power to your whole house—and Surge Protection Devices (SPD) to guard your sensitive electronics against voltage spikes. I'm straight-talking when it comes to compliance: this is a major job that requires the power to be off for the day, and it often uncovers hidden wiring faults common in older Leeds terraces. However, I ensure every job leaves you with a safer home and the correct certification.

How long will the power be off during the upgrade?
You should plan for the power to be off for a full working day, typically 8am to 5pm. A proper consumer unit upgrade involves not just the installation, but rigorous testing of every circuit in your home to ensure the new safety devices work correctly.
My old fuse box works fine, why do I need to upgrade?
Old rewireable fuses take a long time to blow during a fault, which increases fire risk and offers zero protection against electric shocks. Modern units use RCDs or RCBOs that cut the power in milliseconds if they detect a shock risk, drastically improving the safety of your family.
What happens if you find a fault during the installation?
Because modern consumer units are much more sensitive than old fuse wire, they often detect pre-existing wiring faults that were previously ignored. If this happens, I am required by regulations to rectify the fault to leave the installation safe, which we will discuss immediately if discovered.
Will the upgrade damage my decor?
The unit itself is usually a straight swap, though modern units can be slightly larger. In Leeds properties with stone walls or tight cupboards, it can be tricky, but I pride myself on leaving the work area tidy. Any unavoidable disruption to plasterwork around the unit will be discussed beforehand.
