Consumer Unit Upgrades in Fleet
Smart Choice Sparks provides consumer unit upgrades in Fleet, Hampshire.
Many homes in Fleet were built in the 1960s to 1980s with consumer units that are now outdated and offer limited protection. A modern RCD-protected consumer unit is a significant safety upgrade for homes of this era. Smart Choice Sparks fits the new unit and tests all circuits as part of the work.
Fleet is a large commuter town in Hart district that developed substantially in the postwar period and continues to see new residential development, with a broad housing stock ranging from 1950s estates to recent builds — and consumer unit upgrades on 1960s–1980s boards are a common requirement. An upgraded consumer unit also reduces the risk of fire from a wiring fault and is frequently required as part of a remortgage survey or property sale. Contact Matthew on 07396 096687.

A consumer unit (also called a fuse box or fuseboard) is the distribution point for all the electrical circuits in your home. Older units use rewirable fuses or early MCBs without RCD protection. A modern unit uses RCDs and MCBs together, which provide much faster disconnection in a fault and greatly reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
Yes. Your supply is isolated at the meter while the new unit is installed and circuits are reconnected. Power is restored once testing is complete — usually on the same day.
Not always, but if your EICR comes back with the existing unit flagged as a C2 (potentially dangerous) or C1 (dangerous) item, a surveyor or buyer's solicitor may request the work is completed before exchange. Matthew can advise on the condition of your existing unit.
