🔌 Electrical Safety Upgrade Completed 🔧
We recently carried out an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) on a property and identified several issues with the existing consumer unit (distribution board):
⚠️ Plastic board with inadequate fire rating
⚠️ Poor IP protection due to open holes in the enclosure
⚠️ Not all circuits were RCD protected
⚠️ Incorrect RCD type installed (Type AC)
⚠️ Additional fault found on socket circuit continuity
✅ Our Solution:
We upgraded the installation to a modern, fully compliant setup:
✔️ Installed a metal consumer unit with improved fire resistance
✔️ Fitted individual RCBO protection on all circuits for maximum safety
✔️ Added SPD (Surge Protection Device) to protect against voltage spikes
✔️ Ensured correct RCD/RCBO types in line with current regulations
✔️ Carried out fault finding and repair to restore full continuity on the socket circuit
💡 The result? A safer, fully compliant electrical system that meets current regulations and gives the homeowner peace of mind.
