Fuse Box Replacement in Mountfield

Mountfield is a village and parish a short way north of Battle, known locally for its gypsum workings. Where homes here are off mains gas, the move to a heat pump usually starts at the fuse box. We fit consumer units that can take the load, at fixed prices.

Housing across a spread-out parish

Mountfield parish covers a good stretch of countryside north of Battle, so homes range from houses in the village to farmhouses and cottages further out along the lanes. Boards vary just as much, from old fuse boxes with no RCD protection to plastic consumer units fitted before the regulations began requiring fire resistant enclosures in homes.

Every board we fit has a metal enclosure, as the wiring regulations now expect for homes, plus Type 2 surge protection. A dual RCD 6 way board is £425; a full RCBO board with 8 ways is £625, which suits households planning extra circuits.

  • Metal enclosure as the regulations expect
  • Surge protection fitted as standard
  • RCD protection on every circuit
  • Room left for future circuits

Planning for a heat pump in Mountfield

A heat pump replaces an oil or LPG boiler with an electrical load that runs for long hours through the winter. The heating installer will want a dedicated, correctly protected circuit, and the incoming supply has to be able to carry it. Where the existing fuse box lacks both RCD protection and a spare way, it is normally the first thing to go.

We fit a board sized for the heat pump and anything else you have planned, such as an immersion heater or a car charger. If the main fuse at the meter looks too small for the total load, we explain how to ask UK Power Networks about an upgrade before your heating work is booked.

  • Main fuse capacity assessed
  • Spare ways for immersion and charger
  • Network upgrade process explained

Very. A heat pump needs its own circuit with the right protection, and many older boards have no spare ways or no RCD at all. Replacing the board first means the heating installer connects to something that already meets current standards. We can liaise on dates so the two jobs follow each other without a gap.

Since 2016, the wiring regulations have required consumer units in homes to have enclosures made of non-combustible material, which in practice means steel. If a loose connection overheats, a metal case helps contain the heat and any fire inside it. All of our boards meet that requirement as standard, at no extra cost.

It is possible, especially on older rural supplies. The rating is printed on the network operator's fuse, usually beside the meter. We check it, add up your expected load, and if it falls short we explain how to request an upgrade from UK Power Networks. Sorting this early avoids delays once the heat pump arrives.
