Consumer unit upgrade How Much Does It Cost To Install a New Consumer Unit in Your Home or Premises Here is a guide to installation of a new consumer unit and what should be considered before you have any works carried out at your home. Installation of a new consumer unit There are many reasons to upgrade your consumer unit, maybe your existing unit is of the old rewire able fuses type (and is giving you constant headaches) or maybe you have a more modern type of consumer unit but you have no RCD (Residual Current Device) protection present in your property – more on that later. BS7671 IEE Wiring Regulations state ‘ where a consumer unit is being replaced, additional protection by means of RCD’s should be provided to the extent required by the current regulations BS7671, such as for: · Socket outlets · Mobile equipment for use outdoors · Cables concealed in walls or partitions · Circuits of locations containing a bath or shower Circuits that are to be provided with...

Why you should upgrade your consumer unit Electricity in the home and your garden can be dangerous and potentially cause a fatality, so any work involving the electrics in your home, should be undertaken by a suitably qualified electrician. Orrell Electrics are NICEIC approved electricians and specialists in upgrading consumer units. Back in June 2008, the 17 th edition of wiring regulations - British Standard BS7671 “Requirements for electrical installations” came into force setting out the UK’s national standard for electrical low voltage installations. This improved the safety standard of electrical installations by making it a requirement that almost all electrical circuits that were to be installed into homes from then should be fitted with an RCD ( residual current device ) that provides an extra level of protection over and above that found in the old style of fuse box/board (consumer unit). Old Fuse Box/Board (Consumer Unit) Many homes are still fitted wi...

Installing Shower Cabling Orrell Electrics have attended several faulty shower circuits in the last few weeks whilst on emergency call outs, all with the same outcome. Our emergency electricians repeatedly reported seeing this issue reoccuring. The cable used to feed the showers has been too small, too many people install 6mm twin and earth when the correct cable should be 10mm twin and earth for the size of the shower in question. Anything below 7.5 Kw is fine for a 6mm cable but above that rating and you need to install 10mm ie a 9.5Kw shower. At first the cable will be fine but over time as the cable is unable to deal with the load it will deteriorate and usually in the process the first signs are a faulty shower pullcord or switch as seen below Notice how the insulation has completely melted away from the copper, this is caused by the cable getting extremely hot as it is not able to handle the current passing through it. You should always examine ...

Orrell Electrics - Electricians Liverpool and Merseyside area NICEIC approved electrical contractors Recently we carried out an inspection and test on a well known public house in Liverpool City Centre, the installation was six years old and had been carried out by an electrical contractor and had been issued with an NICEIC certificate. There were several major problems found on the installation which were very dangerous, the main problem being someone had tampered with the incoming supply and had decided to change how the pub was supplied from a three phase supply to a single phase supply, see images below: So the whole installation was running off a single phase, this includes 4 consumer units and the whole of the kitchen, this type of work could have caused some serious electrical problems and possibly worse could have caused a fire as the cable could have melted/overheated. Also found was a supply for the fire alarm which was fed off the main incoming...

Whilst working on an installation today I was replacing a socket outlet for a customer, as I took the socket face off I found the wiring to be unsatisfactory so I investigated further, it turned out the sockets had been connected via the lighting circuit. I had noted to the customer when quoting for the job that the wiring on show around the consumer unit was unsatisfactory but the best was yet to come when I removed the cover from the consumer unit: This is one of the worst installations I have seen for a long time, the consumer unit is a mess and apparently the sockets I was working on were only installed 18 MONTHS AGO!! I was actually half tempted to call the emergency electrician to ask him to explain why he had wired the sockets in lighting cable (1.5mm twin and earth) and why he had used the old red and black wiring colours. Also the lights are wired in single insulated conductors which you can touch as the ceiling is very low in the garage, the customer wa...

The last couple of days we have been carrying out an installation in a coffee/wine bar in the city centre of Liverpool. The business is under new ownership and is currently having a refurbishment to which we have totally rewired the premises. The main thing I wanted to show is the vintage lighting , there are two chandeliers from a bygone age and they are stunning, they really compliment the feel of the establishment. See the images below The pictures I took on my iphone do not do the lights justice! The lighting is spectacular and really showcases the business, Tony and Alan the business owners have ploughed a lot of time and effort (and expense!) into the property and when finished it will be stunning!! The bar is called McGuffies and is located on Castle Street, they will be stock a fine selection of guest ales and of course all of us at Orrell Electrics will report back after sampling the beverages!

Orrell Electrics NICEIC approved electricians based in Liverpool We are emergency electricians and offer a 24 hour call out service. Today I attended an property to quote for an installation of four outside sockets, from the time I had entered the front door and made it to the back of the house I had spotted several faults within the property. One of the biggest faults I spotted and made the customer aware of was no protective bonding conductor the water at the stopcock, in essence the metallic pipework of the property was not earthed which would be classed as a Code 1 on a electrical installation condition report. The customer talked through his requirements and where he would like the sockets positioned. He wanted me to feed off a single socket in the living room and feed the sockets outside, the socket was very old and showing signs of ageing. Next I asked the tenant to show me the consumer unit, the consumer unit was the old Wylex re-wireable fuses (BS3036...
