Hi, newbie here!
I have just had a new boiler fitted. The plumber would not wire up the Immersion Heater as it 'did not have a fused socket' and obviously could not wire it up as he would then take responsibilty etc etc. All perfectly reasonable given the circumstances.
I like to think i am pretty handy with this sort of thing and would have a go myself. What exactly does he mean?
The Immersion Heater is on a dedicated circuit straight from the CU (don't let the abbreviation fool you into thinking i am an expert lol!). There is an MCB (lol! another one) for it rated at 16amps. Next to the boiler there is one of those large red switches with an LED on (damn! gave it away now!). My question is what else do i need?
Is it something like this?

If so, what should it be rated at?
Most grateful for any advice.
