Electric heating and off peak meters

Storage heaters, Economy 7 and a second board

Where mains gas never arrived, many rural homes were heated with night storage heaters on Economy 7 or a similar off peak tariff. That often left two boards side by side: one for everyday circuits and a separate, timed unit for the heaters and immersion. Both tend to be the same age, and the off peak side is frequently the one carrying the heaviest loads.

We can replace both boards, or where the supply arrangement allows, bring them together while keeping the switched off peak circuits separate, so your heaters still charge on the cheaper rate. Every heater circuit is tested under the new protection and clearly labelled.

  • Off peak circuits kept on the cheap rate
  • Storage heater circuits tested
  • Immersion supply checked
  • Both sides clearly labelled

A board that is ready for solar and storage

Rural roofs and outbuildings often suit solar panels, and more households are adding a battery to store what they generate. Both connect back through the consumer unit, which needs a suitably rated dedicated way, correct labelling for a second source of supply and, in many cases, room for a battery or inverter connection. A fuse box that is already full, with no spare ways, has nowhere to put any of it.

If you already have solar, we reconnect it to the new board, label it as a dual supply and test it with everything else. If you are planning panels or a battery, we leave suitable spare ways so the installer can connect without the board being replaced again.

  • Solar circuit reconnected and tested
  • Dual supply labels fitted
  • Spare ways for a battery
  • Surge protection for inverters

Not in a way you will notice afterwards. We isolate the solar system safely before work starts, connect its circuit to a dedicated way on the new board and test it alongside everything else. The board is labelled to warn of a second supply, as the regulations require, and your generation meter and inverter are left as they were.

Yes. Tell us when you ask for a quote and we will specify a board with spare ways suited to a battery and inverter. That way the battery installer connects to a board already prepared for it. For most homes, an RCBO board with 10 to 12 ways, priced at £695, leaves enough room.

Our own directly employed installers do every job; we never subcontract. The people who arrive in Chithurst are Part P registered, work to BS 7671 18th Edition, are qualified in inspection and testing, and are covered by £5m public liability insurance.
