We recently moved into a 1940's property and I need to get installed the present one has only 3 circuits 1, Power for uptairs and downstairs sockets 2. Power for upstairs and downstairs lights (all are led) 3. New electric double oven. I need to have the consumer unit changed to a 4 circuit RCD so I can replace the gas hob with electric hob.
There is just enough space to add a new Consumer unit which I want to purchase before I instruct an electrician to save on cost, I have looked on various websites and I think the best option is to buy a British General fortress 6 module 4 way part poulated main switch consumer unit (854PV). or is there a better solution?
All the wiring looks like recent twin & earth why they did not add a new CU I do not know. We recently had new gas meter and electric meter for meter reading direct.
