Hello
I am new here and am pretty impressed by what I am seeing, I have a question regarding consumer units.
I wish to change my consumer unit, I have done some electrical work before, I am not part P qualified and do not intend to do this for the sake of saving money but so that I can learn. I have attached a picture of what I currently have. As you can see it is still on the old fuse catdridges.
I understand from another forum that if I wear a couple of pairs of rubber gloves and boots aswell as standing on a conducting mat of some sort I can change the live supply cables into the house whilst ensuring I do not touch the conductors directly.
As you can see also from the pictures there seems to be sort of two consumer units, if someone could please explain why this is it would be helpfull.
I will of course get in bco or an electrician who is willing to certify
Cheers for all your help
