Dear Electricians

Scenario: privately owned and occupied flat, not tenanted.

Electrician 1 - Completed an EICR report. Recommended upgrading the consumer unit to a metal unit
Electrician 2 - Was concerned at readings achieved on electrician 1's EICR and informed me that the readings did not make sense unless electrician 1 disconnected everything and stripped everything down. Recommended not replacing consumer unit, but instead move some of the circuits on to the RCD, some on to an RCBOS.

Are both electricians correct please?
