AFDD Consumer Unit

Service Description

Replacement Consumer Unit Supplied, Installed and Certificated. This consumer unit offer provides 14 AFDD (arc fault detection device) protected outgoing ways with a surge protection device included. AFDD's are the ultimate way of providing circuit protection compared to MCB's or RCBO's. In addition to the protection provided by MCB's, RCD's and RCBO's an AFDD also protects against electrical arcs which can be the cause of an electrical fire. – AFDD’s detect arc faults that other protective devices can’t – AFDD’s will detect an arc fault that arises after an installation has been tested – By detecting the arc fault the AFDD will prevent the initial cause of a potential fire The surge protection device fitted as standard in these boards protect the installation against electrical spikes and surges from the national grid or lightning strikes, both of which can be very damaging to electronic equipment. Included in this offering is an electrical certificate following completion of the work. Testing and inspecting of the installation will be carried out before commencing work and if a faulty circuit is found that would be dangerous to re-connect we would not be able to reconnect until this fault was rectified. In this circumstance, with agreement from the client we would assess whether we could repair the fault on the day or whether a further visit would be needed before reconnecting the faulty circuit, it may mean living without a particular circuit for a few days in the name of safety. After booking this service you will be asked by email to send a picture or two of the existing consumer unit and meter box.
