I had a consumer unit replacement today. It was a bit of a nightmare as most of the cables were too short for the new unit.
I extended the ones that required extending with crimps and a bit of heat shrink, but it took forever.
Are there any other options that are easier? I don't really like the idea of wago's as they just get crammed in and it gets very messy.
I suppose the only real way of avoiding all the crimps is to have a separate box next to the consumer unit with a din rail in it and appropriate connectors. This would look a bit crowded though, take just as long and be more expensive.
What do you guys usually do?
