Along the main road
Roadside cottages and later houses
Northchapel's homes range from older cottages near the A283 to houses built later in the twentieth century. Many will have had kitchens, showers and heating updated more than once, and each change tends to leave its mark on the board: an extra switch fuse here, two circuits sharing one way there, and a consumer unit with no spare ways left.
A replacement board brings everything back into one tidy, labelled enclosure, with RCD protection on all circuits and Type 2 surge protection as standard. The power is normally off for between four and six hours, so it is usually back on well before the evening.

Making room for an electric car
Northchapel sits some distance from the nearest towns, so most journeys start with the car, and more of those cars now plug in on the drive. A charger needs its own circuit with suitable protection, and plenty of older consumer units have neither a spare way nor the right type of device to take one safely.
If you are thinking about a charger, tell us when you send photos. We check the main fuse and meter tails, fit a board with a way kept free for the charger circuit and note the details, so the charger installer can connect without changing the board again.
- Spare way kept for the charger
- Main fuse and tails checked
- Details noted for the installer
- No second board change needed

Northchapel questions
Asked in Northchapel
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691It can. Type AC devices were designed for simple loads and may not respond properly to the smooth DC fault currents that electric vehicles and some modern electronics can produce. Chargers usually include their own DC detection, but the circuit still needs suitable protection. Current regulations largely limit Type AC devices to fixed equipment with no DC content, so a new board normally uses Type A protection.
Often, yes. They usually belong to circuits added after the board was fitted, such as a cooker, shower or immersion heater. Where the cables are suitable and the new board has room, we bring those circuits onto it so everything is protected and switched in one place. Anything that has to stay separate is labelled and tested.
Usually. A modern steel unit with more ways can be wider than the old board, so we check the space from your photos before quoting. If the cupboard is too tight, or the position is unsafe, we suggest somewhere better nearby. Moving the board when we fit a new one adds £250 to the price.
