Fuse board upgrade price.

[Josh95]

Hi,

What would you roughly charge for a fuse board upgrade on a 4 bed house?

Thanks

How many circuits, age of installation, binding, earthing, .... UK location?

Birmingham earth . third from the sun

£300 - £500 for a dual RCD unit depending on the size of the board and the installation conditions. More if RCBOs are being installed instead.

What is it you disagree with Murdoch?

£300 is way too low....

£300 would be typical if I've done a recent EICR and there are no other issues other than a lack of RCD protection. £500 would be typical if I have to do an EICR prior a board upgrade. Obviously the price would be higher still if issues were discovered during the EICR and taken into account as additional work, or if RCBOs were being installed.

If JK does it for 300 quid then he does it for 300 quid.

£300? Do you eat fresh air for breakfast, dinner and tea and live in a cardboard box??

Get real, you’ll spend that much on materials of yours fitting anything halfway decent!

With no further information about the installation and purely based on a faceless internet post I’d say at least £20,000.

Exactly, £200 for a day is a mickey-taking exercise.
As for your suggestion of fitting parts from screwfix I just don’t know what to say, are they still issuing a free bandana with every CU??

For a Surgeon saving lives definitely . For an Electrician, not really.
