I have a small apartment. I decided to bring the consumer unit up to the latest regs.
Just wanted an opinion on what the electrician chose to do.
It is an E7 property and had two consumer units. The main consumer unit fed the secondary unit which was for the e7 heaters.
The main consumer unit had a breaker for the second consumer unit it seems.
After the work, this is the arrangement.
As you can see they replace the main consumer unit. But retained the secondary.
The new main one is all RCBOs.
I guess I did not expect the second unit to be retained. The quote made no mention of it.
It also seems the breaker to isolate the second box has been removed. I assume it was potentially redundant with there being a breaker on the second box anyway.
Thoughts?
