CONSUMER UNIT UPGRADES IN HASTINGS

An older fuseboard or consumer unit may need replacement when the installation is being modernised, when additional circuits are required, or when an inspection identifies a specific concern. Frolly Electrical installs and upgrades consumer units for homes across Hastings and nearby East Sussex areas.

We assess the existing installation and discuss the work your property needs. The job can include identifying circuits, fitting suitable modern protection, and testing the completed work. We explain any issues found and provide a clear quotation before work begins. A new unit alone does not fix defects elsewhere in the wiring, so the assessment matters.

Our team carries out domestic electrical work including consumer unit upgrades, testing and certification. The photograph on this page shows a Frolly consumer unit project. We can discuss your property in Hastings, St Leonards, Bexhill or surrounding East Sussex areas.

What do our prices include?

Our prices start from £795 for an RCBO consumer unit with up to 10 circuits, or £895 for 11–14 circuits. These prices are for individual RCBO circuit protection. Consumer units using shared RCD protection with MCBs can cost less, so please compare the protection type and package inclusions when reviewing quotations. Final pricing depends on your installation and any additional work required.

Benefits of an RCBO consumer unit upgrade

For homeowners in Hastings, Bexhill, Battle, Rye and surrounding areas, an RCBO consumer unit provides individual protection against earth leakage, overloads and short circuits on each circuit. With a shared RCD and MCB arrangement, an earth-leakage fault on one circuit can disconnect several circuits together. Individual RCBOs help limit that disruption to the affected circuit, reducing the risk of losing unrelated lighting, sockets or appliances. They also reduce tripping caused by accumulated earth leakage across multiple circuits and help an electrician identify which circuit needs investigation.
