Fuse Board Upgrades in Howwood
SJI Electrical provides professional consumer unit and fuse board upgrades — we're based in Paisley and cover Howwood, on the A737 between Johnstone and Lochwinnoch, along with the rest of Renfrewshire.
The consumer unit is the central control point of your property's electrical system, and an outdated board is one of the most common reasons homeowners get in touch.
Three quick questions, then it goes straight to SJI on WhatsApp.

Do You Need a Fuse Board Upgrade in Howwood?
The honest answer is that we can't tell you from here. What we can say is what generally prompts an upgrade: an older-style board still fitted, faults or frequent tripping, renovation work underway, a property being prepared for rental, additional circuits needed, or simply wanting better safety protection. If any of that sounds like your Howwood property, an inspection is quick and gives you a straight answer either way.
- Frequent tripping, or faults you keep resetting
- An older-style board still sitting in the hall or under the stairs
- Extra circuits needed for an extension, outbuilding or new appliance
- Renovation work about to start
- A property going on the rental market
- You simply want better protection than the current board offers
What a Fuse Board Upgrade in Howwood Involves
Four stages, all in the same visit, on a date agreed with you beforehand.
Isolate & Inspect
The supply is isolated safely and the circuits behind the board are checked before anything is disconnected.
Old Board Out
The old board comes out once you've seen the inspection findings and agreed the plan.
New Unit In
A modern consumer unit goes in its place — better protection, more capacity, circuits clearly labelled.

Fuse Board Upgrade FAQs — Howwood
How long does a fuse board upgrade take?
Most installations are completed within one day, depending on the property. We'll confirm the timing when we quote.
How do I know if I need a new fuse board?
Common signs include an older-style board still fitted, faults or frequent tripping, planned renovation work, preparing a property for rental, or wanting improved safety protection. We can inspect and advise honestly.
Will I be without power during the upgrade?
The supply is safely isolated before any work begins, so there is a period without power on the day. Full system testing is carried out before the property is handed back to you.
Is testing and certification included?
Yes. Every fuse board upgrade includes full system testing, and certification is issued once the work is complete.
Will you come out to Howwood for a single upgrade?
Yes. Howwood is within the Renfrewshire area we cover from Paisley, and because an upgrade is a planned job on an agreed date it's straightforward to schedule.
