A small cluster in farmland
Hamlet homes and their ageing consumer units
Clemsfold is a small cluster of homes in open farmland rather than a village with a centre of its own. Properties tend to be individual, each wired, extended and partly rewired at different times. It is common in hamlets like this to find a board from the 1980s or 1990s with a single RCD covering every circuit, or no RCD at all.
A single RCD means one fault anywhere switches off the whole house. Our dual RCD boards split the circuits across two RCDs, from £425 for 6 ways, and full RCBO boards give each circuit its own protection, from £625 for 8 ways. Both include Type 2 surge protection.

Getting the board ready for a heat pump
Many rural homes around Horsham are heated without mains gas, and government grants have made heat pumps a more realistic option. An air source heat pump is one of the largest loads a house can carry, and it needs its own dedicated circuit with suitable protection. A crowded fuse box with no spare ways, or no RCD, is rarely a sound starting point.
We fit the new board with spare ways for the heat pump circuit and any controls, and we check the earthing and main protective bonding while we are there. The heat pump installer then connects to a board that is ready. If storage heaters are coming out, we can make their redundant circuits safe.

- Room for controls and immersion
- Bonding checked for new pipework

Clemsfold questions
Asked in Clemsfold
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Not always, but often. The heat pump needs its own circuit, and the board must have a spare way, RCD protection where required and enough capacity overall. An old fuse box or a full plastic unit usually fails at least one of those. One clear photo is usually enough for a straight answer on whether yours can stay.
Sometimes. The main fuse in the UK Power Networks cut-out has to cope with the heat pump on top of everything else, and some older rural supplies have a lower rated fuse. Your heat pump installer normally notifies the network operator, and we can tell you the rating marked on the cut-out from a clear photo.
If they are staying, we reconnect their circuits as before, whether they run from the main board or a separate off peak board, and the cheaper night supply keeps working as it does now. If a heat pump is replacing them, we can make the redundant circuits safe so nothing is left live and unlabelled. Mention your plans when you text photos.
