Fuse Board Installation Cornwall.
Modern consumer unit upgrades across Cornwall, fitted and certified by our own NAPIT certified team.
The heart of your electrical safety.
Your fuse board, more accurately called a consumer unit, is the central point where every circuit in your property connects, and it's one of the most important safety components in your electrical system. Older fuse boards, particularly ones with a wooden or bakelite back and rewireable fuses rather than circuit breakers, don't meet current safety standards and are a common finding on EICR reports for older Cornwall properties.
A modern consumer unit uses RCBOs or RCDs to cut power automatically if it detects a fault or earth leakage, protecting you from electric shock and reducing fire risk in a way older boards simply can't. Replacement is often required when you're selling a property, applying for landlord certification, or adding a new circuit like an EV charger or solar system that an old board can't safely support.
A straightforward consumer unit upgrade typically takes a single day, including testing and certification, though older properties sometimes need additional work if the existing earthing or bonding doesn't meet current regulations, something we'll always check and quote for upfront, not discover halfway through the job.
We fit modern, fully compliant consumer units as standard, sized correctly for your property's circuits with room for future additions like EV charging.

Common Questions
It depends on the fault and the board's age. Older boards with wooden or bakelite backs and rewireable fuses usually need full replacement to meet current safety standards. We'll give you an honest answer during your quote.

Yes. You'll receive a compliance certificate confirming the work meets current wiring regulations, which is essential if you're selling, renting, or need it for insurance.
I cannot recommend Holloway Electrical highly enough. From the planning of our solar and battery installations through to the final commissioning Jamie's took care of everything. Organised other trades to assist, explained everything that was going on and completed the job on time as promised to an exceptional standard, I could not be happier.
We experienced a very friendly and helpful service from Jamie with our new kitchen electrics. We would highly recommend his services.
We are so pleased with the work that Jamie completed for us today, supplying power to our apartment garage and installing sockets and EV charger. The quality of the work is outstanding. I highly recommend Holloway Electrical Ltd, definitely our electrical professional for all future requirements!
Hi Jamie, Kieran did a great job and we are both very pleased with it. Thank you very much. I would like to discuss with you the electrical box in the kitchen which will need to be replaced. PEH
A lovely local company to deal with. Efficient and left everything clean and tidy. Highly recommend.
Great communication, excellent service, great price, 100% recommend.
We had several quotes from Electricians to install our EV charger which varied dramatically. Jamie’s quote was by far the most reasonable and he was the only one who bothered to come to our home and look at the charger etc. before taking on the job. He arrived on the agreed date of installation and was personable, efficient and tidy. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jamie and would be happy to call on his services again in the future.
