What testing should be undertaken when replacing a CU?
Should the property have a EICR before the replacement is carried out?

  • I once got asked by another trade "X has been charged £xxx just for a new consumer unit, is that expensive" my answer was "well if that is actually all that has been done then yes it could be, but if anything like a proper decent inspection and perhaps a few corrections along the way has been done, as in my opinion it should be, then it could well be a very reasonable price"


    You would not expect your motor mechanic to fit new brake linings if your wheel is hanging off without a "lets fix this wheel first then we will do the linings" comment would you?
