In addition to these emergencies, any issues with the following electrical services listed above can be addressed at any time, any day of the week.
Fuse Box Replacement
Fuse boxes are similar to electrical consumer units, but it uses fuses versus circuit breakers. When electrical overloads occur, the wire within the fuse will melt and the circuit trips, creating a power outage. An old fuse box can create more risks in your house, and upgrading to an electrical consumer unit bypasses the fuse and avoids melted wires.
They are safer, easier to fix, and compliant with updated codes and regulations. There are three types of electrical consumer units that a general electrician can install:
- Main switch consumer unit
- Dual RCD consumer unit
- High integrity consumer unit
Average labour and parts expenses will total around £375 to £550. You should not install consumer units yourself since you need a certificate that adheres to building regulations. Qualified London electricians can only provide these services and certifications.

Before calling the experts at Excel Electricians, try resetting your heater or check your electrical consumer box to see if a circuit breaker tripped.

Electrical Rewiring
You should rewire your home every 25 to 30 years to alleviate the risk of faulty or outdated wiring. Old wiring can cause an electrical fire, electrocution, and more.
In addition to replacing your home's electrical wiring every 25 to 30 years, you should have regular maintenance scheduled every ten years.
Other signs you may need new electrical wiring are frequently tripped circuits, flickering lights, or dimmed lights. How much will this cost you?
A three to four-bedroom house can cost £3,000 to £4,500 and take ten days.
Electric Cooker Installation
An electric cooker can replace your old gas cooker and give your kitchen a much-needed makeover.
Excel Electricians help you install two types of electric cookers:
- Electric coil cooktop
- Electric smooth top cookers
Both are typically cheaper than gas stoves. Removing your old stove can raise your final price, but you can expect an electric cooker installation to cost up to £160.
Only certified electricians can install cookers, so call on the professionals before trying it yourself.
Extractor Fans
There are three main types of extractor fans: axial, centrifugal, and inline. They can help improve air quality and protect your walls and windows. In bathrooms, extractor fans play a critical role in preventing mould and other harmful allergens.
If you already own an extractor fan, it may be time for a replacement. Here are some key signs you need a general electrician for your extractor fan replacement:
- Loud sounds
- Sluggish
- Noticeable damage
- Doesn't power on
- Excessive moisture or smoke build-up
To prolong the life of your extractor fan, ensure you regularly clean the fan and filter. Since 2006, building regulations have required UK property owners to have adequate ventilation and extractors, so ensure your building or home is up to code.
