Consumer Unit FAQs
Do I need to notify anyone before a consumer unit upgrade?
Yes — consumer unit upgrades must be notified to your local authority building control under Part P of the Building Regulations. As registered electricians, Electrabuild handles all notifications on your behalf.
How long does a consumer unit upgrade take?
Most consumer unit upgrades are completed within a day. The power will need to be off during the installation, so we aim to minimise disruption as much as possible.
Will I receive a certificate after the work?
Yes. After every consumer unit upgrade, we issue an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), which is required for building control sign-off and is essential when selling your property.
Is a consumer unit upgrade covered under Part P?
Yes. Consumer unit replacements are notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations and must be carried out by a registered electrician or notified to building control. We are NAPIT registered.
