why choose us

WHY T L ELECTRICAL HD LTD

A consumer unit upgrade is one of the most effective improvements you can make to your property's electrical safety. T L Electrical HD Ltd carries out every upgrade properly — testing all circuits on completion and issuing full certification so you have documentary proof of compliance. add more 1 parapgrapht to contineu

We also assess the existing installation before any work begins, identifying potential issues that could affect the new consumer unit. This allows us to complete the upgrade safely, minimise disruption and make sure the finished installation is reliable, compliant and ready for modern electrical demands.

WHAT WE OFFER

Complete Consumer Unit Upgrade Service

From assessment to installation, testing and certification, we handle the full consumer unit upgrade from start to finish, ensuring everything is safe, compliant and properly labelled.

Full Replacement

The old board comes out and a modern RCD-protected unit goes in, with every circuit tested and labelled properly on the way back in.

Split-Load Boards

Circuits divided across separate RCDs, so a fault on one does not take the whole house dark. Lighting stays on while you find the problem.

AFDD Protection

Arc Fault Detection Devices fitted where the regulations call for them — they catch the loose or damaged connections that start fires but never trip a normal breaker.

Assessment First

The existing installation is checked before anything is quoted. A new board on tired circuits will simply keep tripping, and you deserve to know that beforehand.

Full Circuit Testing

Every circuit tested on completion, not just switched on and left. Readings recorded against each one so there is a baseline for next time.

NICEIC Certification

Certificates issued in your name and the work registered with building control — the paperwork your insurer, tenants or a future buyer will ask for.

Signs you need this service

Five reasons to replace the board

A consumer unit upgrade is the single most effective thing you can do for a property's electrical safety. If any of these apply, it is worth a look.

Rewirable fuses rather than circuit breakers

If the board has fuse wire instead of switches, there is no RCD. Nothing cuts the power in the fraction of a second it takes for current to pass through a person.

An EICR has flagged the board for upgrade

Usually coded C2 — potentially dangerous. The report stays unsatisfactory until it is dealt with, which matters if you let the property.

You are adding an EV charger or a new circuit

New circuits need spare ways and RCD protection on the board. Plenty of older units have neither, so the upgrade comes first.

Your insurer has raised concerns

Insurers increasingly ask about the board directly. An upgrade with certification is the straightforward answer to that question.

Circuits trip often, or the board feels warm

Frequent tripping means something is wrong rather than something is sensitive. A board that is warm to the touch needs looking at now, not at the weekend.
