    Using a garage CU as the main CU for flat

    Hi, If a home only uses 3 circuits, Can you use a 3 way garage CU as a replacement for the current old style CU (5 way with 2 spare)? Are garage CU just little standard CU's? Is not having spare room for additional circuits a c2 fail on EICR? Cheers
