FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions-

Rewire or not to rewire?

Determining whether a rewiring is necessary hinges on the nature of the electrical installation. In certain instances, older installations may employ Vulcanised Indian rubber, commonly referred to as VIR, for wiring. The concern with this type of cabling lies in its tendency to become excessively brittle over time, leading to insulation breakdown around the conductors. This renders the wiring susceptible to potential hazards such as arcing and short circuits. Hence, testing and inspecting the condition of the wiring becomes imperative to gauge the need for rewiring. See below some example of VIR cables.

Considering a consumer unit replacement is a vital measure for enhancing both the safety and efficiency of your electrical system.

This proactive step not only aligns with modern safety standards but also ensures a robust and reliable electrical infrastructure for your home or business. Below are some examples of older consumer units / fuse boards.
