Rural homes around Foul Mile

Foul Mile is a small cluster of homes in open countryside, some way from the shops and services of Hailsham. Properties out here are usually individual houses and cottages, and many rely on oil or electricity for their heating. Their fuse boxes tend to date from whenever the house was last properly updated, which can be a long time ago.

Our fixed prices apply here exactly as they do in town. Prices begin at £425 for dual RCD protection and £625 when every circuit gets its own RCBO, and surge protection to Type 2 is part of both. If you would like an inspection report too, an EICR costs £99 when it is done alongside a board change.

Swapping oil for a heat pump? Start at the board

More rural homeowners are looking at replacing oil boilers with air source heat pumps, often helped by grant schemes. A heat pump needs its own circuit, an immersion heater usually stays as a backup, and together they add steady load for months at a time. A fuse box that has run out of spare ways and offers no RCD protection makes a poor starting point for that switch.

If a heat pump is on your list, mention it when you book. We can leave suitable spare ways on the new board and note your main fuse size and earthing on the certificate, so the heating installer can see straight away what your supply can support.

Not always, but often. Heat pump installers need a board with RCD protection, a spare way of the right rating and a sound earth, and older fuse boxes rarely tick all three. If you change the board first, the heat pump connects to a modern unit rather than to a separate box fixed beside the old one.

Yes. The boiler and its controls are reconnected to the new board and tested along with every other circuit, so the heating runs as before once the power is back on. If you need heat or hot water on the day, tell us and we will plan the switch-off so the house is without power for as little time as possible.

If you are about to spend money on new heating, it is a sensible moment. An EICR looks at the whole installation, not just the board, and costs £99 when booked with a board change rather than £175 to £350 on its own. It gives you a clear picture of the wiring before a heat pump adds more load.
