Why a consumer unit may need attention
A consumer unit may be reviewed because of its age, condition, limited protective devices, planned alterations or findings from electrical testing. Replacement can also be considered as part of wider work such as a rewire, extension or new high demand equipment.
Assessment comes first
Replacing the board alone does not remove existing faults elsewhere in an installation. We assess the relevant condition of the circuits and explain any issues that need to be addressed before or alongside the upgrade.
What the work can include
- Review of the existing consumer unit and circuit arrangement
- Appropriate protective devices for the agreed installation
- Circuit identification and labelling
- Electrical testing associated with the work
- Certification and documentation where required
Clear information at completion
Once the work is complete, you should understand what has been changed, how the circuits are arranged and whether any further work has been identified. Certivo keeps that handover practical and clear.
