Quiet village beside the A27
Fuse Box Replacement in Selmeston
Tucked just off the A27 between Firle and Berwick, the small village of Selmeston looks south to the rising Downs. Rural homes like these are often off mains gas, and moving the heating onto electricity puts new demands on the fuse box. We make sure your board is ready for it.

Selmeston homes
Storage heaters, two meters and two boards
Homes in small villages like Selmeston have often been heated with oil, solid fuel or electric storage heaters rather than mains gas. Storage heater homes commonly have an off-peak meter and a second small board or a row of switches for the heaters and immersion, wired in at different times. The result can be confusing, and hard to isolate safely in a hurry.
When we replace the main board we work out what feeds what, combine circuits where the metering allows, and label the rest clearly. Off-peak circuits that must stay on their own meter keep their own protection, tested to the same standard as everything else.
- Off-peak circuits identified
- Storage heater supplies tested
- Second boards tidied or combined
- Clear labels for both meters

Is your board ready for a heat pump?
Swapping an oil boiler for an air source heat pump is a common step for rural homes, and it changes what the electrics are asked to do. The heat pump needs a dedicated circuit, usually with an isolator by the outdoor unit, and the total demand of the house rises through the winter. An older board with no spare ways will hold the project up.
The new board has ways kept free for the heat pump and any backup immersion, and a full RCBO layout means a fault on the heating circuit trips that circuit alone, leaving everything else on. Priced at £695, the RCBO board with between 10 and 12 ways is ready for your heating installer to connect to.
- Dedicated way for the heat pump
- Backup immersion circuit kept
- RCBO layout limits nuisance trips
- Ready before the installer arrives

Selmeston questions
Asked in Selmeston
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes. Tell us who is fitting the heat pump and roughly when, and we will time the board change so it is done first. We leave a clearly labelled spare way for the heat pump circuit, and you can pass our certificate to the installer so they can see the test results before connecting.
No. The board sits after the meter, so your tariff and metering stay exactly as they are. What changes is the protection on each circuit and how clearly it is labelled. If you are thinking of removing the storage heaters later, a few spare ways on the new board make that easier.
Arc fault detection devices spot the kind of sparking that comes from a loose connection or damaged cable, which ordinary RCDs cannot see. In an older cottage with timber in its structure, some owners feel the extra cover is worth having. Combined RCBO and AFDD boards are from £1,095 with 10 ways, or £1,295 with 14.
