Consumer Units? Is there any difference between manufacturers

[Khuz360]

Hi All

So I am going to be looking at upgrading to a new a consumer unit in the next few months and I would like to know whether there is such a thing as premium units and budget units because the prices I've looked certainly indicate this to be the case. If so are there actually any differences performance wise. Is there such a thing as a good consumer unit and a bad consumer unit. Surely they are manufactured to the same standard and comparable quality.

Surely the stuff that can go wrong with a consumer unit is more down to installer error than the actual fault of the unit.

Is it something I should even bother researching and then finding myself or would it be a wiser choice to opt for one the electrician I use recommends.

Thanks

i do mine with the skins on. why peel away good food? I boil in a saucepan for 6 - 10 mins, then into the deep fat fryer

Spuds apart - I would usually go for MK - especially if you get a good deal. Also - are you looking at a plastic or metal cu?

You'll have a job on finding a plastic one these days.
