    Are Danson consumer units and RCBO's ok?

    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...

    Hi! Could any electricians estimate how long it would take to replace 4 consumer units.

    The consumer units are in outdoor buildings, each running minimal lights & 2 plug sockets. The cables are all in place, it's literally just replacing four old consumer units with new ones. Tia!
