Modern fuse board replacements with full circuit protection
Volt Tech replace old and non-compliant fuse boards with modern consumer units across Dudley and the West Midlands. A new board gives individual RCBO protection on every circuit plus whole-installation surge protection, and is tested and certified on completion. A typical upgrade is completed within a day and is exactly what landlords need to bring a property up to current regulations. Prices start from £600 plus VAT depending on the board and number of circuits.
Your consumer unit, or fuse board, is the heart of your home's electrical system. An older board often lacks the protection required by current regulations, which is why so many of our customers ask us to upgrade theirs. Volt Tech fit modern consumer units across Dudley and the West Midlands.
A new board gives you individual RCBO protection on every circuit, so a fault on one circuit no longer takes out the rest of the house, plus surge protection for the whole installation. Everything is clearly labelled so the board is easy to understand and easy to work on in future.
Consumer unit upgrades are one of the most common jobs we are booked for, particularly by landlords bringing a property up to standard and homeowners who have had nuisance tripping. Most replacements are completed within a day, with the power off only for as long as necessary.
Once fitted, we test the installation thoroughly and issue certification, giving you and any letting agent the paperwork you need. It is a straightforward upgrade that makes a real difference to the safety of your home.

Volt Tech Electrical recently did a full rewire on my property. The whole process was faultless. Charlie was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Top quality work, turned up as arranged, completed the work on schedule and certified the work immediately. Would highly recommend, especially if you need dependable people to fit in with other trades.
Scott Smith
Great guys. Wired up my bar, summerhouse then got them back in to add sockets and lights in the cellar. Got more work for them also. Great job, good price. Would highly recommend 👍🏼

Recommended VTES recently to a client, they installed new lighting and power outlets in their new office. They gave them an idea of what panel lights and dado sockets they could install for them by showing them a previous office they had completed. My client couldn't wait to tell me that it was a great recommendation! Very quick turn around, very professional. They would recommend to anyone wanting a full office electrical installation.

Stuart Larmer
I can't recommend Volt Tech highly enough. From the very first phone call, they provided excellent advice and took the time to answer all of my questions. Better still, they were able to arrange the installation within a week.Charlie was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the entire process. The installation was completed quickly, everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and he took the time to walk me through the app and explain how everything worked.The EV charger itself has been a fantastic addition to our home. As we already have solar panels installed, it was an absolute no-brainer and is already helping us make the most of our renewable energy.Excellent service, great workmanship, and a genuinely hassle-free experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend Volt Tech to anyone considering an EV charger installation.

I used VTES to carry out a fuse board change on a property I wanted to rent out that didn’t comply to new regulations. They changed the fuse board to a new one and tested it to provide me with a certificate. Ben and Charlie were very professional through the job. The work was neat and to a high standard.

Miles Walters
We recently had our house fully rewired by Ben and Charlie from Volt Tech Electrical Solutions Ltd, and we couldn’t be happier with the service. We found them on Checkatrade after moving into our new home, and from the very beginning they came across as knowledgeable, reliable, and easy to trust — which made choosing them an easy decision.Throughout the job, they were professional, tidy, and always arrived on time. The quality of their work was excellent, and they completed the rewire to a very high standard. They were also approachable and happy to explain things along the way, which we really appreciated.Overall, they’re a great pair who clearly take pride in their work. We’d definitely trust them with any future jobs, big or small, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.

I had an EV charger installed by Charlie, everything was so easy from the quote to the installation. He came when he said he would, he did a great job ( even when I changed my mind about where to have it at the last minute), explained everything and all was clean and tidy afterwards. I know who to ask if I need any more work doing.Very pleased, highly recommend.
