Older homes, modern demands
Upperton cottages and the loads they now carry
Homes in a hamlet like Upperton were mostly built long before anyone expected an electric car on the drive or an induction hob in the kitchen. Their fuse boxes date from rewires designed around lighting, sockets, an immersion heater and perhaps a cooker. Today the same supply may be asked to run an electric shower, a heat pump and a charger, sometimes all at once.
We size the board for the circuits you have now and those you are planning. Each heavy load gets its own protective device on a full RCBO board, priced from £625, and adding AFDD protection, from £1,095, means the board also watches for the arcing faults that can start fires in older cables.

Specified for UppertonMain fuse and capacity
Main fuse and capacity
Can your supply take what you plan to add?
Small rural hamlets are often served by modest single phase supplies, and the main fuse in the cut out may be rated at 60 amps rather than the 80 or 100 that newer homes typically get. A new consumer unit does not increase that capacity. If a shower, hob and car charger all run together, it is the main fuse that sets the limit.
So we read the cut out label, add up the realistic demand and tell you where you stand. Often load management on the charger is enough. Where it is not, we explain how to request an upgrade from UK Power Networks, the network operator, and fit the board so it is ready when the bigger supply arrives.

Upperton questions
Asked in Upperton
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Look at the sealed unit where the supply cable enters the house, before the meter. That is the cut out, owned by the network operator, and it usually has the fuse rating stamped or printed on it, such as 60A or 100A. Do not open it or break the seal; just photograph it and send the picture to us.
Possibly; it depends on the main fuse and on what else the house is using. A large shower and a 7kW charger together can exceed a 60 amp fuse on their own. Most modern chargers can monitor the incoming supply and slow down when the house is busy, which often avoids an upgrade. We work through the numbers with you before quoting.
No. The board distributes and protects the supply; the amount available is set by the main fuse and the network cable behind it. What a new board gives you is safer protection, room for new circuits and test results that show the installation is sound. Extra capacity itself comes from UK Power Networks.
