They Nearly Bought This House Like This

Buying a house is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make... but what if the electrics are hiding an expensive surprise? In this video, I carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) before a house purchase, uncovering issues that the new owners needed to know before signing on the dotted line. Once the inspection was complete, I installed a brand-new Elucian consumer unit, taking you through the installation process step by step. From safe isolation and consumer unit preparation to wiring, testing and certification, you'll see exactly how I approach a real-world consumer unit replacement. Whether you're a homebuyer wanting peace of mind, a homeowner planning electrical upgrades, or an apprentice electrician looking to learn from a real installation, there's something here for you. In this video you'll see: Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) Home buyer electrical inspection Consumer unit replacement Elucian consumer unit installation Consumer unit wiring explained Safe isolation procedures Electrical testing & certification Real electrical faults Home electrical safety checks Practical installation techniques If you're buying a property, having an EICR carried out before exchange or completion could help uncover hidden electrical problems before they become your responsibility.
