Roadside homes, mixed ages
Houses and bungalows along the main road
Golden Cross is a roadside village, with homes of different ages along the A22 and the lanes leading off it: older cottages, mid twentieth century houses and bungalows among them. Boards in the oldest properties are sometimes original or close to it, while post war homes tend to have early consumer units that predate the RCD protection now expected on every circuit.
In a typical three bedroom house, either 10 ways of dual RCD protection at £495 or 10 to 12 ways of full RCBO protection at £695 handles the usual circuits and leaves space to spare. Bungalows with fewer circuits can often use a 6 way board from £425.
- Early consumer units upgraded
- RCD protection on every circuit
- 6 way boards for smaller bungalows
- Space left for future circuits

A board ready for charging at home
In a village spread along a main road, the car is usually part of daily life, and more households are switching to electric. A home charger needs its own circuit from the consumer unit with suitable protection, and charger installers will often decline to connect to an old fuse box or a board with no spare way. Sorting the board first keeps the charger job simple.
We fit the new consumer unit with a spare protected way set aside for the charger, check that your main fuse and meter tails can carry the extra load, and note the earthing arrangement your installer will need to know about. If the supply itself needs upgrading, we explain how to request that from UK Power Networks.

Golden Cross questions
Asked in Golden Cross
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Some installers do fit a separate unit, but every other circuit in the house then stays on old protection, and the earthing arrangement still has to suit the charger. In most older homes it is better value to replace the main board first, with a spare way waiting, so the charger connects to a modern, surge protected consumer unit.
Yes. With only a few circuits, six ways of dual RCD protection from £425 is often enough, and that price still brings Type 2 surge protection, the whole house test and your certificate. If you might add a charger or extra circuits later, the 10 way version at £495 leaves space and avoids a second change.
Yes. Our phones are answered every day of the week, weekends included. Tell us what happened and we will help you make things safe over the phone first. Where we can, we send someone the same day; otherwise we book the earliest slot available and keep you updated.
