Best consumer units at the moment?

[slup]

Hi folks,

I know these come in and out of preference as times change, but what is generally considered to be the best consumer unit / RCBO combination at the moment.

Will be needing 14 ways in total.

Cheers!

Hager all the way.

Don't forget to leave at least 20% spare for future use.

Another vote for Hager.

Best in which sense? Cost? Size?

They all meet approvals, so we need some selection criteria!

Third vote for Hager. It’s all we fit. A 5+5 costs £80 with MCBs. Can get slightly cheaper but not much so why bother? Top quality

Schneider/Merlin Gerin, Siemens...?

Schneider are obviously top of the range, and the Resi9 range (not Easy9, that’s horrible) isn’t TOO badly priced. I got a price recently, and a 6+4 (they don’t do a 5+5) is about £90+MCBs

Why not the Easy9+ range? IMO it's better than the plug-in Resi9+

I just prefer the stablok. Tbh neither of them would be my first choice visually!

Have to say QS aka Lewden are good value for money though if on a budget.

Chose the one that your electrician recommends!

What if he recommends something like CPN?

 

[Taylortwocities]

Go for it. Its his warranty.

Ooh, just had an original thought. Is the OP considering installing his own consumer unit?

 

[sparkwright]

Ask him.

Or Shint, Contactum...

Might be a way to evaluate candidates for the job....
