Consumer Unit Upgrades in Leeds

Leeds is one of the UK's fastest-growing cities, with a property landscape ranging from historic Victorian terraces in Headingley and Chapeltown to modern city centre apartments and sprawling suburban homes in Roundhay and Alwoodley. Every one of these properties needs a safe, modern consumer unit to protect its occupants and comply with current regulations. At Pennington Electrical Ltd, we upgrade consumer units across every Leeds postcode.

Since January 2016, all new consumer units installed in domestic properties must be made of non-combustible metal to comply with building regulations. If your Leeds property still has a plastic consumer unit or an old fuse box with rewireable fuses, it is not only outdated but potentially unsafe. Our upgrade service installs a modern metal unit with MCBs, RCDs, and optional surge protection — giving you complete peace of mind.

A consumer unit upgrade is one of the most cost-effective safety improvements you can make to your Leeds property. It typically takes just one day, causes minimal disruption, and provides life-saving protection for your family. We also check your earthing and bonding as part of the upgrade, ensuring your entire electrical system meets current standards. Prices start from just £400.
