ok thanks for your help and get your hat ready as im goin to look for that post!

so has anybody got a aprice on how much somebody would charge?

So its not as easy as some people on here say then,im basicaly having to change the CU as id like an electric shower and theres not a spare fuse to take the power needed for the shower,so how much would you expect it to cost to get swaped over,is it something my electric supplier would do?

the fuse box id be changing would be a wylex standard consumer unit for a new modern hager CU

a company working on behalf of british gas,they did an inspection when changing the electricity meter,could you explain whats involved in changing the CU ?

what would the upgrades comprise of and what kind of mistakes could there already be as theres been a recent inspection.

it doesnt seem to difficult im basicaly replacing the unit with an up to date one,ive had an isolator fitted to the main supply so is it just a case of remember what goes where etc?

could i change the consumer unit myself and then get it checked by a profesional after?

ok thanks for the help.

is there anything i should i know about pulling the main 100a fuse so that i can upgrade my old consumer unit,many thanks.
