Consumer Units
Our Chelmsford electricians fit consumer units in homes, rental properties and commercial premises. All work is carried out to the current BS 7671 wiring regulations. We issue an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) on completion.
Replacing your consumer unit is worth considering if…
- You have an old fuse box with no RCD protection
- You have an old plastic Consumer Unit with limited circuit protection
- Frequent tripping or nuisance faults
- You’re adding additional circuits
Modern consumer units use RCDs, MCBs or RCBOs to protect people and electrical circuits when faults occur.
Our electricians will survey your electrical system before replacing your consumer unit. The new unit will suit your property and the circuits connected to the electrical system.

Our Chelmsford electricians carry out full and partial rewires for homes, rental properties and commercial premises. We also inspect existing wiring when customers are unsure about its condition.
Older wiring does not always mean your property needs rewiring. The condition of the electrical system is more important than its age.
Signs of ageing or damaged wiring can include:
- Frequent tripping
- Damaged sockets
- Flickering lights
- Signs of overheating
- Wear or damage found during an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)

Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
We undertake Electrical Installation Condition Reports. We assess the condition of your fixed electrical installation.
The inspection covers wiring, sockets, light fittings and the consumer unit. Testing identifies electrical faults, shock, fire and earthing or bonding risks.
Landlords must have the electrical installation in rented homes inspected and tested at least every five years. For homeowners, it’s recommended every 10 years (although not compulsory).
If issues are found, the electrician will provide a quote for repairs and upgrades.
Our EICR services include:
- Electrical testing
- Safety inspections
- Fault identification
- Remedial work
- Electrical upgrades
- EICR certificates
Smoke & Heat Alarms
We install smoke and heat alarm systems for homes, rental properties and other residential buildings.
Smoke alarms and heat alarms are used in different parts of a property. A good system will use a mix of both alarm types.
Mains-powered alarms can also be interlinked. When one linked alarm detects a problem, the other connected alarms sound too.
Our electricians can install new alarms or replace existing alarms. We can also provide systems with extra warning devices for people who may not hear a standard alarm.
