Hey guys n gals,
I am looking to buy (it will be fitted by a professional to comply with new regs) a consumer unit as I get a good rate at some of the suppliers I use.
I have a 3 bed house, and at the moment it only has the older style consumer unit with isolators (they dont look like the newer style ones) and there are only four of them; 2x 5amp, 1x 30amp and 1x40 amp.
Its situated outside in the shielded box with the meter, and I need it updating as its just too old.
For normal use, would I be right in suggesting a 6+6 split load consumer unit would be okay and give us the flexibility should we extend in the future?
Im loathed to get an electrician out JUST to confirm my suspicions on the type of MCU to buy.
Thanks in advance.
