Has anyone used the brand Fusebox before, how do people rate it as I’m just looking at there main switch spd board with RCBOs

We always use Hager! But just shopping around...

I wouldn't listen to that guys comments, no facts or reasons given, just a throwaway comment that they are poo, without justifying it with any issues he found.

Quite often when I've heard other sparks complain about certain materials it's down to themselves and not the actual item they are complaining about.

The worst consumer units I've ever used have to be ESR or LVE.

Also don’t forget many of these YouTube celeb sparks are sponsored by certain manufacturers

I've just priced a Hager SPD/RCBO board against a Fusebox unit. When you add all the Fusebox extras in the difference between the 2 was £60+VAT.

That is a fair incentive to be honest. Time will tell with the quality. That is one good thing about the forum.

Unless the fuse box boards are I. My local wholesalers I'm not likely to fit then

That video was uploaded to You Tube in May 2019. However, DSS Electrical subsequently uploaded another video regarding Fusebox boards six months later wherein he is full of praise for the brand. He even goes so far as to say that he thinks they're better than Hager! Conflicting advice indeed.

How many circuits? The rcbos and spd are approx half the cost of Hager.

 

[richy3333]

@Phil Thompson I'd agree on the SPD price. But not RCBO's. Hager RCBO's are £3/£4 more to me than the Fusebox ones. The price reflected a 14 way Fusebox CU that comes loaded with the SPD and a Design 10 12 way unit with loaded SPD.

@richy3333 any supplier near me is almost £20 per hager rcbo ?

 

[richy3333]

Crikey. That’s rough. I do buy a lot of them and play hard ball with them tho’!
