Consumer Unit Upgrade Following an EICR in Camden Town
Following an EICR inspection at a block of flats in Camden Town, our electricians identified that the existing electrical distribution equipment required upgrading.
The original consumer unit was an older installation with outdated protective devices. Following our recommendations, we removed the existing equipment and installed a new metal consumer unit incorporating modern individual circuit protection and surge protection.
The Electrical Problem
Outdated Consumer Unit and Circuit Protection
The existing consumer unit at the property was an older installation with outdated protective devices. This was identified during the Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) carried out at the block of flats in Camden Town.
Following the inspection and our recommendations, an upgrade of the electrical distribution equipment was required to provide modern circuit protection and improve the overall safety of the installation.
Our Solution
Works Carried Out
Our electricians removed the existing equipment and completed the consumer unit upgrade.
The works carried out included:
- Removal of the existing outdated consumer unit
- Supply and installation of a new metal consumer unit
- Individual RCBO protection for the relevant circuits
- Type 2 Surge Protection Device (SPD)
- Circuit identification and labelling
- Inspection and testing of the installation following completion
- Electrical certification provided for the completed works
Why This Matters
Improved Electrical Safety and Circuit Protection
The upgrade provides improved electrical safety, modern circuit protection and a much neater installation while bringing the distribution equipment in line with current electrical installation requirements.
Individual RCBO protection also provides modern protection for the relevant circuits, while the Type 2 Surge Protection Device provides additional protection against transient overvoltages.
For blocks of flats and other residential properties, maintaining electrical distribution equipment and acting on recommendations identified during an EICR are important parts of keeping the electrical installation safe and properly maintained.
