TESTING AND MAINTAINING YOUR CONSUMER UNIT
The electricity that powers your home has one source, the fuse board/consumer unit which is responsible for distributing power to all the circuits in your home.
Only a registered electrician should change your consumer unit. This is because a consumer unit change falls under notifiable work in Part P of the Building Regulations. TC EC are fully accredited electricians and will be able to provide you with the necessary electrical certificates after the consumer unit has been fitted.

It’s important that you regularly monitor the condition of your consumer unit and know what to look out for. Please see our consumer unit warning signs listed below.
As a rule of thumb, if you are a homeowner, you need a periodic inspection of your fuseboard to be carried out every 10 years. If you are a landlord, you are legally required to carry out a periodic inspection every 5 years, and failure to do so could result in legal action against you.
