Fuse Box Replacement in Etchingwood
The rural side of Buxted parish, east of Uckfield, is home to the small village of Etchingwood. Country homes in this corner of Wealden often heat with oil, LPG or electricity rather than mains gas, which asks a lot of the consumer unit. We replace boards here at fixed prices, tested and certified.

Electric heating and the board that feeds it
Where there is no gas main, electricity often does more of the work: immersion heaters, storage heaters, electric showers and sometimes electric cooking, all at once. On an older fuse box that combination can mean warm fuse carriers, circuits sharing protection, or a main switch working close to its rating on a cold evening.
When we replace a board in Etchingwood we check the heavy circuits one by one, confirm each cable suits the appliance on the end of it, and give each its own correctly rated protection. Off peak circuits for storage heaters stay on their separate supply and are reconnected neatly.
- Immersion and shower circuits checked
- Off peak heating kept separate
- Cable sizes matched to loads
- Signs of overheating investigated

Planning ahead for a heat pump
Owners of off gas homes are increasingly swapping oil boilers for air source heat pumps, and that changes what the consumer unit has to do. A heat pump needs a dedicated circuit with the right protection, and the incoming supply has to carry it alongside everything else. An old fuse box rarely has the room or the capacity.
We fit boards with space left over, so the heat pump installer can connect without a second board change. If your main fuse looks too small for the extra load, we tell you and explain how to ask UK Power Networks about an upgrade. Our 14 to 16 way RCBO board costs £795.

Etchingwood questions
Asked in Etchingwood
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691It usually makes sense. Changing the board first means the heat pump installer arrives to find a modern unit with a spare protected way, and you avoid paying for two rounds of disruption. Tell us roughly what size of heat pump is planned and we will make sure the new board and supply suit it.
The switch by the cylinder is a local isolator and normally stays, because it lets you turn the heater off safely. What changes is the protection back at the board: the immersion circuit gets its own correctly rated way, and we check the cable and the isolator during testing.
It limits brief voltage spikes on the supply, such as those from lightning nearby or switching on the network, before they reach the electronics in your home. Boilers, heat pump controls, televisions and chargers are all sensitive to them. It is included on every board we fit, and can be added to a suitable existing board for £165.
