A village of many building eras

Birdham has grown in stages, so its homes span a wide range: older cottages, bungalows and family houses from across the twentieth century, and newer homes built more recently. The older the property, the more likely its fuse box predates RCD protection altogether, or has been extended over the years with add on units for showers, cookers and garages.

In a bungalow the board is often in a hall cupboard or by the front door, which keeps the job simple and usually within the four to six hours most changes take. Chalet bungalows sometimes have a second board for the upstairs rooms, which we bring into the new unit where practical.

  • Boards in hall cupboards
  • Most changes done in a day
  • Add on units brought together
  • Newer homes checked too

Solar panels, batteries and car chargers

Solar panels are now a common addition to homes along the Sussex coast. Add a home battery or an electric car and the consumer unit has more to manage: each system needs its own correctly protected circuit, and the board must suit the type of RCD that equipment calls for.

When we replace your board we make room for existing and planned generation, keep solar and battery circuits clearly labelled, and fit protection compatible with inverters and chargers. Surge protection comes included, which helps guard sensitive inverter electronics against transient spikes.

  • Solar circuits correctly protected
  • Room for a battery or charger
  • Inverter friendly RCD types
  • Clear labels for isolation

It means a little more care. The solar inverter has its own circuit, which we isolate safely before work starts and reconnect and test afterwards. We make sure the new consumer unit offers the right protection for it and leave a clear label, so anyone working on the system later knows exactly where it is fed from.

Yes. We can leave a spare way for the charger circuit and check your main fuse and earthing, so the charger installer knows what they are working with. Many chargers have their own built in fault protection, and we fit a board that works alongside it rather than against it.

Very little. For testing we need clear access to the board and to the sockets and switches around the home, and for most of the job you will be without power. A typical bungalow is finished within a working day, and we leave the cupboard as tidy as we found it, with the old board taken away.
