Frequently Asked Questions

In domestic UK properties, the terms are often used interchangeably. A consumer unit is the standard distribution board found in most homes, housing circuit breakers and RCDs. "Electrical panel" is a broader term that can also cover larger distribution boards and three-phase boards found in commercial settings. We replace all types.

You should consider replacement if your panel is more than 25 years old, uses outdated rewirable fuses instead of MCBs, shows signs of overheating or damage, trips frequently, or has been flagged during an EICR inspection. Upgrading ensures your property meets current BS 7671 wiring regulations and has proper RCD protection.

Yes. We install and replace three-phase distribution boards for larger residential properties and commercial premises across Manchester. Three-phase panels are typically needed where there is a higher power demand, such as properties with electric vehicle chargers, commercial kitchens, or workshop machinery.

A standard domestic panel replacement typically takes four to six hours. The power to your property will be off for most of this time, though we can often arrange temporary supplies for essentials like fridges and freezers. We always agree a convenient start time with you and aim to have everything powered back up the same day.
