Customer Request
The landlord wanted the existing consumer unit upgraded as part of preparing the electrical installation for continued rental use.
Because the property was occupied, the work needed to be completed carefully while keeping disruption within the home to a minimum.

Existing Consumer Unit
The property had an older consumer unit with older protective devices and handwritten circuit identification.
The agreed work was to replace the existing unit with a modern consumer unit incorporating surge protection and individual Type A RCBO protection.
Work Completed
The consumer unit upgrade included:
- Removing the existing consumer unit
- Installing the new consumer unit
- Installing surge protection
- Installing Type A RCBO protection
- Identifying and labelling the final circuits
- Completing electrical testing
- Providing an Electrical Installation Certificate
- Handing over the completed installation

Testing and Certification
After installation, the electrical circuits and protective devices were tested.
The final circuits were clearly identified and labelled, and the customer was provided with an Electrical Installation Certificate for the completed work.
Final Result
The property now has a modern consumer unit with surge protection and Type A RCBO protection.
The installation was tested, labelled and certified, providing the landlord and tenant with a safer and more clearly organised electrical installation.
