Consumer-unit upgrades in Bedford
If you are considering replacing a consumer unit, the work should start with assessment of the existing installation and the reasons for the change. Tell ARM Electrix about the property, any inspection findings and planned alterations.
Assess the existing installation
The age of a consumer unit alone does not define the full work required. Existing circuits, earthing arrangements, protective devices and any identified faults need consideration when developing the scope.
Agree what the quotation includes
Discuss the proposed equipment, any additional remedial work, testing and relevant documentation. Identify access and power-interruption arrangements before work begins.
Enquire about an upgrade
Send your property location and a brief description. If an EICR has recommended work, mention it so the findings can be reviewed.
Discuss a consumer-unit upgrade
Related inspection and home work
If an inspection report has prompted the enquiry, mention the relevant finding rather than assuming a replacement is always required. You can also discuss an EICR for your Bedford property or a wider home electrical project.
What if an EICR has identified the consumer unit?
Share the observation and any available report before assuming a replacement is the only remedy. We can discuss the existing circuits and installation, the proposed protective devices and any separate remedial work when defining a quotation. For wider electrical changes, see our house rewire planning guide.
