Rewiring and Consumer Unit Upgrades

Upgrading or replacing your consumer unit can benefit you in several ways:
1. Improved safety: Older consumer units may not meet the latest safety standards, and may lack features like residual current devices (RCDs) that protect against electric shock and fire. Replacing your unit with a newer one can give you greater protection against electrical hazards.
2. Increased capacity: If your current consumer unit is outdated, it may not have sufficient capacity to handle modern electrical demands. Upgrading to a new unit can provide you with more circuits to accommodate additional appliances and gadgets.
3. Compliance: Upgrading your consumer unit can help bring your electrical installation in line with current building regulations. This is especially important if you are planning to sell your property or undertake major renovations.
4. Greater convenience: A new consumer unit may include more advanced features that make it easier to manage your electrical systems. For example, modern consumer units have individual trip switches (RCBOs) and therefore if a problem presents itself only the circuit affected will be swicthed off.

Electrical Installation Condition Reports

EICR stands for Electrical Installation Condition Report. An EICR is a formal document produced by a qualified electrician after carrying out an in-depth inspection of the electrical installation in a property. The report details the condition of the electrical installation and identifies any potential safety hazards, shortcomings or defects.
During an EICR, the electrician will assess the electrical infrastructure, such as the wiring, sockets, switches and lighting. They will also carry out tests to check for poor earthing, inadequate bonding or exposed live parts.
An EICR is usually required for safety reasons by landlords, local authorities and employers to ensure electrical safety in the property. It should be performed on a regular basis as faulty electrical installations pose significant safety risks such as electrical shock, fire and electric burns.
If any issues are identified during the EICR, remedial works or electrical repairs may be necessary to bring the installation up to standard and make it safe. The electrician will provide recommendations for such works in the report, classified as either urgent or non-urgent, to ensure safety compliance.
