HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

The cost of replacing your consumer unit will depend on how big your house is and the number of circuits in your house. For most homes a high integrity consumer unit that can carry 10 circuits is the best choice which costs from £450 - £650.

For larger homes that require more circuits it can cost up to £850 smaller homes can get a good quality consumer unit installed for as little as £350.

If you are looking to have a consumer unit installed in your garage or outbuilding this will typically cost £300-£450.

WHAT IS PROTECTIVE BONDING?

Protective bonding reduces the risk of life-threatening electric shocks and electrical fires in your home. It is typically required in older buildings where gas and water service pipes are made from metal rather than plastic. As they age and deteriorate stray wires and plumbing can come into contact with each other and make metal appliances around your home fully charged. Occasionally it will be necessary to install or upgrade protective bonding as part of a new consumer unit installation.
