Older boards in Buckham Hill homes
Buckham Hill is a hamlet rather than a village, so its homes are individual properties, each with its own history of rewiring and extension. The boards we would expect to see range from cartridge fuse boxes to early consumer units with RCD cover on only some circuits. Older boards also tend to have no spare ways, which is why extra boxes so often appear beside them.
A new metal consumer unit sorts all of that in one visit. Larger houses often suit a high integrity board with 12 ways, from £575, where two RCDs sit alongside independently protected ways for a freezer, an alarm or similar, keeping those circuits live if an RCD trips. Every circuit is tested, and the certificate reaches you within 48 hours.

What the surge device on your new board does
A surge protective device sits in the consumer unit and diverts brief overvoltages to earth before they reach your appliances. These transients can come from lightning striking on or near the overhead network, or from large loads switching on and off. Modern boilers, televisions, routers and kitchen appliances are packed with electronics that cope poorly with them.
Type 2 protection is included with every board we fit. If your consumer unit was replaced fairly recently without one, is otherwise in good order and has room, we can retrofit a surge device for £165. It cannot promise to stop a direct strike, but it handles the far more common smaller surges well.

Buckham Hill questions
Asked in Buckham Hill
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Possibly, but not certainly. A surge device in the consumer unit deals with spikes arriving on the mains supply. Routers can also be damaged by surges coming in on the telephone or broadband line, which the board cannot stop. A plug-in protector that covers the phone or data line as well closes that second path.
A rewireable fuse box uses a length of fuse wire held in a carrier, which you replace by hand when it blows. A cartridge fuse box uses sealed fuses that you swap whole. Both are older designs with no RCD protection against electric shock, and both are usually best replaced with a modern consumer unit.
Very unlikely. A full freezer kept closed holds its temperature for several hours, and most boards go in within 4 to 6 hours. Turn it to its coldest setting the evening before and avoid opening it during the day. The kitchen circuits are reconnected and tested before we leave.
