Few homes, long distances
Rural houses a long way from town
There is no village centre at Mackerel's Common, just a scattering of homes on the lanes of Kirdford parish. Properties out here tend to be detached, often with gardens, sheds and sometimes land, and the electrics have been extended as owners came and went. A dated fuse box is common, with circuits added by different hands over the years.
Because a call out to a remote hamlet is a bigger undertaking for many firms, people tend to live with an old board for longer than they should. We charge nothing for travel anywhere in Sussex, so replacing yours costs the same as it would in Chichester or Horsham.

Electric heating, oil boilers and heat pumps
Many homes around Kirdford rely on oil, LPG or electricity for heat rather than mains gas. That puts more on the consumer unit: storage heaters on their own circuits, immersion heaters, and the controls and pumps of an oil boiler. Each of those circuits needs correctly rated protection, which is often more than an ageing fuse box can offer.
Switching to an air source heat pump adds a large new circuit, and the network operator, UK Power Networks, has to be told about it. If a heat pump is in your plans, we can fit a board with a suitable spare way now and check whether the incoming supply is likely to need an upgrade.

Mackerel's Common questions
Asked in Mackerel's Common
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Often it makes sense. Heat pumps need a circuit to themselves, sometimes a large one, and an elderly fuse box may have neither the room nor the right protection. Replacing the board first gives the heat pump installer a clean starting point, and we can leave a spare way and note the earthing arrangement for them.
They need their circuits kept separate and correctly rated, and on an Economy 7 style supply they are often fed from a second, off peak board. We map out how your heaters are fed before quoting, so the new arrangement keeps your cheaper overnight charging working exactly as it does now.
If neighbours are off too, the fault is on the network, so call UK Power Networks on 105. If the fault is confined to your house, or the board will not stop tripping, give us a ring. We will talk you through safe checks over the phone and send someone the same day where we can.
