    SBS Trade consumer units

    Thought I'd give one of these a go. Very easy to order and they build the board for you in the order you want. Next day delivery was free. First impression is that it's very solid and the front comes on and off easily. (So much space!) When I fit it, if it doesn't look too rough I'll post some...

    I am in the habit of fitting 'Fusebox' consumer units. However, I notice that Danson are even cheaper. Has anyone fitted them? Are they acceptable quality? Any problems with the RCBO's? If they are 'Chint' like quality then I would rather avoid them. Chint are the only RCD's I have ever come...

Connect new tails into...

    Chint Consumer Units

    I'm wondering if any of you guys have installed any of the Chint range of consumer units that Screwfix have recently began selling. If so, how was your experience? Any good, or best avoided?

    Lewden RCBO consumer units

    Does anyone have any experience with these ? Have been offered some at a great price but I have no experience of the brand whatsoever. I will probably try one or two out but just wondered if anyone could offer direct experience of these ?
