A Litt • 23 November 2020

Landlord be aware that MK consumer unit could potentially be dangerous!

Consumer unit replacement and relocation. This consumer unit was replaced due to it being on the product recall list on the electrical safety first website and issues with the main switch. As contact connectors may fail and overheat, presenting a fire risk.

We have installed a surge protector otherwise know as SPD, which is built into the Hager consumer units it is of a high integrity dual RCD consumer unit. In my opinion, this is the best low-cost option for consumer unit replacements.
