Cost to change a fuseboard.

[Dave OCD]

For a dual RCD board [Cost around £100 inclusive?] and for a very good and long term customer I'd probably say £450, but I'd also explain the benefits/advantages of an RCBO board with SPD and offer that for £600.

 

[SparkySy]

I would say for a split load as tel says £100 for a db.
Tails, henleys or an isolator and some earth £40
Test dependant on amount of circuits, if it's 10 @ £20 a circuit there is another £200
Then Labour a day at £280
Bit of office time to type up test £40
£660 all in for me or there abouts!
If your in Warwick add £100 on just cos it's Warwick

Always full test before fitting new CU,or your 1 day to fit a board could turn into two days trying to stop it tripping...Also full rcbo board with spd cuts down on earth leakage problems tripping one whole side of a board

Surely another £6 ? The CU of the Beast

Employed one spark, Taiwanese, I think.....great lad....s*** scared of travelling to work at one job....journeying on the A666 into town every morning.

I am in the process of getting mine done and the Electrician wanted to do an EICR before hand which is fine as remedials can be sorted out first so no surprises when the board is done.
I am going for all RCBO's.

These days, and especially if you only have 5-8 circuits or so, the cost difference for something like the Fusebox all-RCBO & SPD board is negligible compared to the skilled labour for installation & testing. But the reduction in possible future problems quite worthwhile.
