Consumer Unit Upgrades
If your property still has an old fuse board or a consumer unit without modern protection, an upgrade brings it up to current safety standards. We replace and upgrade consumer units across Marbella and the Costa del Sol.
Older boards often lack the RCD/RCBO protection today's regulations require, leaving circuits without proper protection against shocks and faults. We assess your existing installation, fit a modern consumer unit with the right protective devices for each circuit, and test and certify the work — keeping downtime to a minimum and explaining what's changed before we leave.
Covering Marbella, Estepona & across the Costa del Sol

FAQ
Consumer Unit Upgrades — Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions we hear most about this service.
Older fuse boards often lack RCD protection and may use outdated parts. An upgrade improves safety, reduces nuisance issues and brings the installation in line with current regulations.
Most domestic upgrades are completed within a day, depending on the number of circuits and the condition of the existing wiring. We confirm timing when we quote.
The supply is off only while we change the board over. We plan the work to keep disruption short and tell you what to expect.
