[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 539537, member: 250"] As mentioned.. "FuseBox" is a brand of consumer unit.. To my knowledge they are perfectly good and compliant will all current wiring regulations, (BS7671). I have used "FuseBox" consumer units myself for some of my customers... You have individual RCBO's per circuit... which is Good! You have a surge protection device... which is Good! (There are cheaper less compliant options that use RCD's to protect multiple MCB's) So my initial gut instincts would suggest that your electrician has tried to provide a perfectly acceptable consumer unit, with all protective devices applicable at the time of installation. What we really need to see now is a copy of the electrical certificate that should be issued for ALL consumer unit replacements? [/QUOTE]
