Hi all, first post and hoping someone "in the know" can point me in the right direction
Currently (no pun intended) we have an old-style plug-in Wylex fuse box/consumer unit ( http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g188/Eggenberg4Ever/DSCF3269.jpg ) and we're looking to upgrade this to a modern type, preferably one with "trip switches" (sorry, I'm not a spark so the terminology may be incorrect) - a Wylex 10-Way Fully Insulated Dual RCD Consumer Unit has been recommended as a good alternative by a friend.
Is this new consumer unit a viable alternative before I go and spend money on what might be a white elephant?
BTW - I will NOT be carrying out the work; I will get the services of a fully qualified spark
All thanks in advance.
