Original fuseboxes / wiring were installed in 1989 when the house was built, over 33 years ago. It all tested ok so all that was needed was a new consumer unit (fusebox). There were 2 fuseboxes before – 1 for the house electrics and one for the night storage heaters. The client has now done away with the off peak night storage and gone on to single rate and is having installed ecostrad ceramic core radiators – https://ecostrad.com/ecostrad-iq-ceramic-smart-electric-radiators/.
New consumer unit following on from an Electrical installation condition report (EICR). Circuits are now protected by RCD and is up to current standards to comply with BS7671.

Another nice new consumer unit today in the centre of Holmfirth. Must be getting into double figures now with these Schneider Easy 9’s – or Peroni’s as I like to call them (if Carlsberg did fuseboxes then this would be a Peroni!).
Designer light fittings are everywhere these days, along with screwless socket fronts, dimmers etc, It makes testing lighting circuits very difficult and time consuming. We’re always looking at ways to make life easier and get the job done quicker – and safer. It can be quite challenging trying to secure contact to live neutral and earth on a light fitting, then pressing the test button on the tester, whilst up a pair of ladders.
Solution! – light testing adapter kit
Bridging the N+E and using a remote tip for the L to carry out ZS (no trip) test
Another EICR another consumer unit upgrade – not a bad start to the year all things considered.
This would be a Peroni!

£600 gets it all done and dusted, 1/3 the price of a new boiler and every bit as legally compliant.
