Seen this ad today in my town, what a turkey.

"Upgrade your consumer unit (fuse box) & help keep your home & family safe.

Supplied, installed, certified & a 5 year guarantee - ONLY £180"
 
cheap chinese imported equipment with a visual inspection only, but then he will want extra to upgrade tails, add bonding etc. Then extra to fault find when the RCD/RCD's will not stop in! They will be left with a bill for £500 +

Which means nothing without a town. Give him a ring and see if the bonding and faults fixed are included too. lol

Haha bonding? Upgrade tails? What's that ?
 
Can beat that some clown regularly advertises near me for a consumer unit upgrade for 150 and at the moment he's doing a January offer of 125 lol

I think we should get a pool going to raise the 180 quid for him to come and change your board to see what it's like, I'll start with a tenner.

I suspect those items would be extra on any CU board change!!

The bonding and fault finding will, or should be known about after initial visual inspection and a preliminary short testing sequence. From what i have read here, most electricians specifically exclude remedial works that may be required for, or after a CU upgrade....
