This video is about adding an extra consumer unit to an installation.
It happens sometimes, that a customer will ask for a new circuit to be installed for a new shower, or a new electric cooker circuit to replace the gas cooker, perhaps a circuit for a new extension that has been built or maybe a request to add power and lighting to the garage.
And then, on inspection it is found that there are no spare ways in the existing consumer unit.
Rather than replace the whole consumer unit with a new and bigger board, an option that can be taken is to add a second consumer unit (sometimes called a mini consumer unit or garage unit).
This will mean breaking into the existing wiring, and so how can this be achieved correctly and safely.
This video will go through the steps in detail and will guide you in making a safe addition to the existing installation.
