Fuse Box Replacement in Billingshurst

Billingshurst is a large and growing village on the A29, with an old High Street, a station on the Arun Valley line and new homes on its edges, while plenty of houses in the surrounding lanes are still heated by oil or LPG. We replace fuse boxes across the area at fixed prices, sized for the heating you are planning.

What we do in Billingshurst

Board options for Billingshurst homes

Choose the board that fits your plans. Homes moving to a heat pump or electric heating often need a full RCBO board with spare ways, and every unit we fit includes Type 2 surge protection and a test of the whole house.

Billingshurst homes

An old High Street and a village that keeps growing

The oldest part of Billingshurst lines the High Street, which follows the course of the Roman road to Chichester, with tile hung and timber framed buildings among later brick fronts. The railway brought Victorian houses out towards the station, and the twentieth century added bungalows and estates of semis and detached homes. Large new developments have since spread across the edges of the village, so one postcode holds boards from almost every decade.

In the older houses we still meet rewirable fuse boards and boards with a separate switch for the cooker or immersion heater. Estate homes from the 1970s to the 1990s usually have one RCD guarding only half the circuits. The newest houses have modern units, though owners sometimes swap to a full RCBO board so a single faulty appliance cannot cut the power to half the house.

Billingshurst rentals

New build lets and cottages in the lanes

Billingshurst's rented homes reflect the way the village has grown. There are newer houses bought to let on the recent estates, family homes and bungalows let to people who want the schools or the station, a few flats above shops on the High Street, and older cottages let in the hamlets around Coneyhurst, Adversane and Wisborough Green. Each type tends to raise different questions when the EICR is due.

A new build let still needs an EICR at least every five years, though the board is rarely the problem. In older cottages it often is, along with outbuildings fed from the house and earthing that needs checking. We quote from photos, replace the board where needed and add the EICR for £99 at the same visit, or carry out a standalone EICR from £175.

When oil and LPG give way to electric heating

Beyond the village centre, many homes in the lanes and hamlets around Billingshurst have never had mains gas, relying instead on oil tanks, LPG or electric storage heaters. As those systems age, owners are switching to air source heat pumps, electric boilers or modern storage heating, all of which put a large, long running load on the consumer unit. An older board, or one with no spare ways, is often the first thing a heating installer flags.

We size the new board for the heating you are planning, with a dedicated way, suitable RCD or RCBO protection and room for an immersion heater or a car charger later. We also look at the incoming supply, because a big new load may need UK Power Networks to confirm the main fuse is adequate. Your heating installer gets clearly labelled ways to connect to.

Call 0333 360 8691

Quite often, yes. A heat pump needs its own circuit with the right protection, and an older board may have no spare way or an RCD type that does not suit the unit's electronics. Your heating installer will also need to tell UK Power Networks about the new load. Send us a photo of the board and the installer's requirements, and we will quote a board that is ready for them, from £625 for a full RCBO 8 way.

Often it can. Homes with off peak heating frequently have a second small board or a row of switches fed through a separate meter or time switch. Depending on how your meter is arranged, we either bring the heating circuits into a new consumer unit with their own section, or replace the second board on its own. Every off peak circuit is tested and labelled, so it is as clear as the rest. Send photos of both boards and the meter.

Almost certainly not for safety reasons. A recently built home should already have a modern consumer unit with RCD protection in a metal enclosure. Some owners upgrade to full RCBO protection, or need more ways for a heat pump, battery or car charger, but that is a choice rather than a fix. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth doing anything at all.

Yes. Every village and hamlet around Billingshurst gets the same fixed prices as the village itself, with no extra charge for distance. Homes along the outlying lanes are more likely to have an overhead supply and their own earth rod, so we measure the earth electrode as part of the job and choose protection that suits that kind of supply. You get the same certificate and guarantee wherever you are.

Yes. Plenty of customers let us in early, leave us to it and catch their train. Most boards take 4 to 6 hours, so the job is normally finished well before you get home. We text when we arrive and again when the power is back on, and the Electrical Installation Certificate, with anything we found explained, is emailed within 48 hours.
