Recommended checks before CU change

Former Community Member over 5 years ago

As most of you know I’ve only been qualified for just over a year and I’ve got a quote to do for a cu upgrade.

I know I’m nowhere experienced enough to do EICR’s yet, but what would you guys recommend I check/test before doing the cu upgrade and should I do these checks/tests at the quote stage?

Chris Pearson:

That all sounds very reasonable.

If the I & T is satisfactory, perhaps you could get the work to fit in around your re-test, or even use it for the same.

Don't forget to paint a yellow stripe up the earthing conductor.

And whilst you are about it, get the DNO to replace the service head lest fire break out. ?

Is that service head dangerous then?
