Service 02
Consumer units
A consumer-unit enquiry depends on more than the number of switches in the box. The condition of the installation, existing protection, earthing, access and known faults all affect the right approach.
Typical enquiries
- Planned consumer-unit replacements
- Older boards considered as part of wider improvements
- Installations with known tripping or fault concerns
- Early guidance on information needed before quotation
What helps next
- 01A photograph of the closed consumer unit and its labels
- 02Safe, accessible views of the meter area and service equipment
- 03Questions about circuits, property type and existing electrical work
- 04Testing or a site survey where photographs cannot establish enough information
Photograph safely
Only photograph equipment as it is normally visible. Do not remove consumer-unit, meter or service-head covers and do not reach into restricted equipment.
