Do we now have to replace a Plastic consumer Unit to add attach a new circuit to a spare circuit breaker?
Having replaced an old wired fuse unit a few years ago with a new split board for Power and Lighting with ELCB protection I am now told that to add a new circuit I need to replace the plastic consumer unit or add a new metal one. I have recently installed an SPD breaker to the installation but now have to replace the CU to add a new circuit.
This is a crazy waste of money so do I have to do it?
