Rural houses wired for oil boilers and immersion heaters
Homes around Kent Street are typical of rural Horsham District: detached houses and cottages with gardens and outbuildings, and quite often heating that does not come from mains gas. That shapes the electrics, with immersion heaters, oil boiler controls and electric showers all taking their share of the circuits on the board.
Older boards in homes like these often have every way filled and no RCD protection on circuits such as the immersion or the boiler supply. In their place goes a full RCBO board with spare ways left free, costing £695 in the 10 to 12 way size, a figure that already covers Type 2 surge protection.
- Immersion heater circuit protected
- Boiler controls on their own way
- Electric shower cable checked
- Spare ways left for later

Getting the board ready before a heat pump arrives
Where a home relies on oil or LPG, an air source heat pump is often the replacement being weighed up, and it brings a large new electrical load. The heat pump needs its own dedicated circuit, and the installer will usually want to see a modern board with space for it before committing to a date.
Changing the board first gives that circuit a proper home. We also note your main fuse rating and earthing, since the heat pump installer may need to apply to UK Power Networks to confirm the supply can take the extra load. Both details go on your certificate.

- Main fuse rating recorded
- Earthing details on the certificate
- Room left for future circuits

Kent Street questions
Asked in Kent Street
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Not always. Many homes have a 60, 80 or 100 amp main fuse, and a heat pump can often be accommodated within that, depending on what else you run at the same time. The main fuse belongs to UK Power Networks, so any upgrade is arranged through them. We record your current rating so your installer can work it out.
Immersion heaters draw a steady, heavy current for hours at a time, which exposes weak connections and tired fuse carriers, and scorching around that part of an old board is a common sign. On the new board the immersion gets its own correctly rated breaker, and we check the cable and the switch beside the cylinder as well.
Yes, if we plan for it. A solar inverter needs its own way, and some systems with batteries need particular types of protection. If solar is likely in the next few years, tell us when you send photos, and we will leave a suitable spare way so your installer can connect without changing the board again.
