Houses in a small hamlet
A few homes spread along country lanes
Aldsworth is a hamlet, so its homes are few and spread out, with fields between them rather than pavements. Properties in settlements like this tend to be individual: a farmhouse, a pair of cottages, a larger house that has grown with extensions. Each has its own history of rewiring and repairs, which is why we never assume what is behind a board until it has been tested.
Common finds in older rural homes include rewireable fuses, a single RCD covering everything, or a newer board added without the older circuits being brought up to standard. Opting for full RCBO protection, priced from £625, means each circuit is protected on its own and a single fault stops short of blacking out the whole house.

Heat pumps and electric heating need a board that can cope
Plenty of rural homes on the western edge of the county run on oil, LPG or electric heating rather than mains gas. When an oil boiler reaches the end of its life, a heat pump is often the replacement, and that adds a large new electrical load. An older board may have no spare way for it, or the wrong type of RCD for the equipment.
Before the heat pump installer arrives, we can fit a consumer unit with room for the heat pump circuit and any immersion or backup heater, and check that your main fuse suits the extra demand. If the incoming supply needs upgrading, we tell you so you can raise it with UK Power Networks.

Aldsworth questions
Asked in Aldsworth
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes. Emsworth, over the border in Hampshire, is the post town for PO10, but Aldsworth itself is in West Sussex, in Westbourne parish under Chichester District Council, and we cover the whole county. Our fixed prices are the same here as anywhere else we work, and there is never a travel charge on top.
It is usually worth sorting the board before the heat pump goes in. Heat pump makers specify the protection their units need, and an older board may lack a spare way or a suitable RCD. Let us know the heat pump model and send us a shot of the board, and you will hear from us whether a new consumer unit is needed and what it would cost.
Fitting most boards is a 4 to 6 hour job with the electricity off for much of it, so expect a day at home with no power through the middle of it. We agree timings in advance, test every circuit before switching back on, and email the Electrical Installation Certificate within 48 hours.
