part P electrician installed 18th edition metal consumer unit in Gillingham, Kent

This particular consumer unit (CU) upgrade was performed in a rental in Gillingham off the back of an EICR we had conducted in 2020. Why are fuse box upgrades so important?

Shock protection (RCDs) - Before RCDs, there wasn't a lot to stop you, as a living breathing creature on this planet, from getting a fatal shock. RCDs are designed to be sensitive enough - and snappy enough - to cut the power before it gets too much for your heart.

Metal consumer units - back in are metal consumer units designed to contain any fire that may arise inside.

Surge Protection (SPDs) - SPDs are there to take the hit in the event of a surge (such as a lightning strike). Those who heard about the week-long power outage in the Wayfield and Churchill areas of Chatham may have heard many properties lost their white goods such as washing machines and microwaves caused by the surge.
