I've recently moved to a new house - thats built circa 1910. Its been what looks like to me rewired between what i'd guess as 15-5 years ago (prob closer to former)
There are 2 consumer units in the lobby - not only is it highly unpleasant on the eye, I find it rather confusing.
1 clearly has been disconnected it is switched off on the board at hte main switch, and there is no supply wires to this. However, out of the top, there are still the incoming/outgoing circuit wires - grey twin & earths (6 off) that dissappera out of the consumer unit in to the plaster then dissappear.
Why would any professional leave this unit when rewiring and putting in a new one? The old box - I repeat no supply to - has an earth bond. The second unit looks fully operational albeit my whole house is on 4 circuits that I suspect is not great either.
I need some help figuring out what someone might do this, and what to do to ensure safe disconnection if its truely redundant.
