- I revisit the prior EICR and carryout remedial work including installing this Verso consumer unit complete with RCBOs, SPD and AFDD.
Really impressed at the value offered here as covered in the video.

This is not paid or sponsored, I bought it and is just an honest review from using it as a result.
No nonsense information. Just the job!
The thing I like about these videos you make Mark is that they are not sponsored and unbiased and give sparky thoughts good and bad points other youtube electricians seem to be spoilt by the free product placements. I like the QR code instead of some of the
stickers did you say that you do one with all the information on everything installed? Pablo must have a northern brother. With all these new brands on the market, it wounders me in years to come if they are going to be available. One thing I commend Hager is that although they have upgraded their consumer unit over the years their protective devices are the same.
It's always a worry mate. More so having seen Anderson go under in the EV market.
Hager have the new single mod rcbo/afdd out soon. Can't wait to try it. I live to give everything a chance. Have done loads of brands of CU on my channel. Having spoke to the people behind verso they seem focused on sparks. I like that. Time will tell in the end!
A nice, neat job there mate. Even with the taller RCBOs, there's still a bit of room in there compared to others I've seen. An AFDD for under three figures cost-wise is a fine thing too. Looking forward to the next vid.
I think the snakey thing is a cable tie left behind by the BFG. Also available in red I believe. Whatever it is, the missus reckons I need more training with one but no idea what she means.
Haha. 🤭🤭🤭
Great run through. Shame the AFDD paddle doesn't line up with the rest.
Great video Mark, really enjoying you content lately 👍🏻
That thing with a hose should be avoided! In the same category as snakes here in Australia. Cheers
Hi Mark, another nice job, as for the strange object on the carpet with the pipes coming out of it, I have seen it before and can confirm it is Pablo's TARDIS, come on guys how else did you think he moved so quickly around the country. Regards from Ray the old sod from North Wales.
Haha! Hey Ray, thanks for watching mate and hope you are keeping well.
@@electrician247 Hi Mark, I'm doing fine, still PAT testing for my wife's Animal charity shop, it's amazing to find so many pieces of equipment wrongly fused, cable clamps in the plug top clamped on to the wires etc. also electric kettles & irons that fail the insulation test, I cut the cables off, put a failed sticker on them and pass them to the recycling depot. Regards, Ray.
I really want to see the N fly leads die and have a dual L and N bussbar along the bottom
Daveo Saveo put one in like that I forget the name of it
And thanks again got the R1+R2 croc clips
Yes boss may
Great video, very informative.
The green thing is a Conduit draw string puller. Wouldn’t be without mine.🙄
Ahh! Now that makes sense. What a great invention.
Nice job Mark 😁
Cheers dan
Nice job .how come you only fitted one afdd unit .did you not have any more socket circuits in the consumer unit 👍
Kitchen sockets only on this one. My view is afdds are to catch crap white goods so makes sense.
Mark do you think AFDD's will become mandatory in domestic installs in AMD3
I think so mate.
The Verso RCBO's aren't double pole as that seems to be the big advantage with the CP Fusebox ones as compared to the majority of other brands using the same format. Other than that it's impressive gear and a lovely install. Just a shame about the pipe work, I would of been inclined to re do it if I was there.
I would have loved someone to sort the pipework out and move it lol. Made the best of it though! Yeah I forgot to mention after putting my glasses on they are solid neutral. One to watch with EV/PV etc. Not sure what is going on at fusebox atm. AFDDs recalled and price increases often. Guess its a sign of the times! Hope you are well mate.
@@electrician247 I was expecting some recalls on AFDD's it was just a case of which and when, as lets be honest we have the smallest consumer units in Europe. Everything is having to be crammed into single module instead of double or triple modules so more miniaturisation gives increase chance of manufacturing defects.
The FuseBox price rise I don't mind as the DP makes up for it compared to other more expensive brands which still lack it especially as they're all increasing around the same margin down here.
Keeping well mate, hope you and the lads are too! Maybe if I am up your way in future and you need something like that moved I'll pop in and do it, starting to get bored where I am.
@@effervescence5664 Verso could possibly have a mini rcbo that is DP very close to being on the shelves. Could 🤫
Great point about miniature everything. We need to get real with CU sizes tbh
Hi both, Mark you’re right our Mini RCBO that will be available later next month has a switched neutral.
One thing to watch out for with other brands and the miniaturisation of everything is the thermal derating factor.
The reason we delayed our mini so long, was to ensure it passed these stringent testings.
100% right about the consumer units. In Europe they use radial circuits as well. This reduces a lot of issues on devices also.
Great video and thanks so much for using our products!
@@navitascp I thought it might be top secret so didn't want to quote you guys 🤭.
Look forward to giving them a try 💪

It was uncanny how much he looked and sounded like him. Had some very bright socks on as well....
@@electrician247 🤣
Git that cup o coffee of o there it will pour into the cutout if spilled
Nonsense
@@electrician247 That's bad practice a cup of coffee on the trunking at the fuseboard should be on a table away from the fuseboard wall away from all electrics
@JohnDundee-el2ro it speaks for you in ways I'm not sure you understand if that's your take away from the video. Firstly no electrical energy is in place during the work. Secondly I'm a grown up who would never spill a tea. 3rdly it's got a screwed lid on the top.
Honestly if your that bad you can't not spill drinks into service heads I don't know what to say to you lol.
Don't apply your bad practice and abilities to me. We are worlds apart it would seem.
Enjoy your day
@@electrician247 even the best of us knock cups over especially when you are concentrating on your consumer unit
@JohnDundee-el2ro which would result with it on the floor leaking nowhere. Your opinion is fine but nothing wrong at all here.
Don't touch that green thing you would not have included using it in your method statement,it could be dangerous and lead to problems in later life and your missis if she sees you with it in one of your videos could think it would be a good idea if you used it.
I don't trust it mate. Looks a lot like hard work to me whatever it is!
Everything looked mint then I saw the stickers. 🙈 Like a 5 year old put them on
Harsh 🤣🤣🤣
