Are All Units the Same?

Those with little electrical experience may wonder whether all consumer units are the same. Although there can be a lot of similarities between the different models available, there can also be differences. For example, a main switch consumer unit is the main switch that offers no additional protection.

Similarly, a high-integrity consumer unit allows for additional protection due to the separation of circuits. The right choice can depend on several factors, and further highlights the benefits of using a professional electrician.
