A modern board is not always the right board
Homes at Kilnwood Vale were wired to the regulations in force when they were built, so rewireable fuses are not something you will find. What you may have is a board sized for the house as it was handed over, with few spare ways, or a dual RCD layout where one faulty appliance can switch off half the circuits at once.
If your board can stay, we will say so. Sometimes a £165 surge protection retrofit is all that is missing. Where a change is worthwhile, full RCBO protection costs from £625 and protects each circuit separately, while an RCBO board that also detects arc faults starts at £1,095.

Leaving room for what comes next
Newer homes are often where people first add an electric car charger, solar panels or a home battery. Each needs its own protected circuit and a way in the board. A unit that was already full on the day you moved in can turn a tidy installation into extra boxes fixed to the wall, with cables running between them.
We fit a board with spare ways left free and clearly marked, note the main fuse rating and earthing on the certificate, and keep the layout simple for the next installer. Notifying UK Power Networks about solar or batteries is that installer's job, and good records make it easier.
- Spare ways kept free
- Main fuse rating recorded
- Earthing noted for installers
- One tidy board, no add-ons

Kilnwood Vale questions
Asked in Kilnwood Vale
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Often it does not. Common reasons to upgrade a newer board are a lack of spare ways for a charger or solar, dual RCD tripping that takes out several circuits at once, or wanting arc fault detection. Send us a photo first: if a surge retrofit, or nothing at all, is the right answer, we will tell you.
It helps to plan them together. The solar installer needs a protected way in the consumer unit, and doing the board first means the panels connect to a modern unit with space to spare. Share the installer's details and we will make sure the layout and labels suit their connection, so nobody has to rework anything later.
We cannot speak for your warranty provider, so check your policy terms before any electrical work, especially in the early years. What we can give you is a clear paper trail: the Electrical Installation Certificate within 48 hours and the Building Control notification under Part P, both worth keeping with your house documents.
