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.
