I have an electric car on order and I am having an EVC installed. This has brought the CU’s in my home under scrutiny and identified the fact that for various reasons they do not meet current regs. So out with the old and in with the new . . . oh that it would be that easy!
For me (the customer) getting quotes for these jobs is a nightmare on many levels not least comparing apples with onions. So instead of getting quotes to change the CU, I thought I’d try and get quote for that CU i.e. identify the CU I want to install and get quotes to install that CU . . . . in that way I can more easily see which is the cheapest quote. And, because the materials are a small cost compared with the labour I want to have the best quality CU.
So my questions are:
1. Which CU would you recommend I specify to replace my house CU with.
2. How many hours work is it to do this job?
3. Would a ‘Domestic Installer’ be sufficient or do the job or do I need an ‘Approved contractor’?
