I've just noticed that our storage heating consumer unit is fitted with 32amp MCBs. They are MK Sentry RCBO type (four, running four storage heaters). This was all installed around 18 months ago along with a new 'economy 7' meter (the old one switched tariffs when it felt like it!). The work was done by a qualified electrician, along with a couple of other wiring jobs.
Looking at a few posts on the forum, it seems that 16 or 20amp MCBs are more the norm. Are the ones fitted safe?
I should probably mention the largest heater is 3.4kw.
