Hi;

I have changed several consumer unit to a modern day split un trip to
replace those old fuse wire jobbies. Usually though one is stressed in
sorting out the trip problems that occur after this, but after that no
probs.

I also add loads of sockets as Alister says, as I reckon kit these days
consume so little power that its even worth doubling tose old single
sockets. Rather dates the present day Reg's that seems to be lagging
behind reality.

One thing I do do now though, is always get rid of old Flouescent
fitting as they will alway give you trip problems.

If you do have the floors etc up then its always worth running power
for an Electric shower for when the gas runs out.

Regards
Ian
