When it comes time to upgrade your consumer unit / older fusebox in your home, you need to take into account several things that will effect how much you are going to spend.
Firstly you should always consult a qualified electrician before any electrical work is undertaken on you consumer unit.
secondly you would need to know how many circuits you have in your home, for example you will have one circuit for your lighting downstairs and one circuit for your upstairs lighting. also you will have a socket circuit in the form of a ring circuit , you would have a shower circuit and cooker circuit also.
The more circuits you have the bigger the main board you will need to power you home.
you will also need to take into consideration if you would choose to install a board with rcd protection.
Most new boards come with an rcd protected circuit board but you can buy ones that don't.
The issue can arise that if the is earthing issues on you circuits or you have some other wiring faults your rcd will trip and not go back up until this is fixed. you would then need to take on testing of your electrical installation through the means of a EIC test to find out where the fault lies.
If in doubt contact a qualified electrician west end Glasgow about your Fuseboard.
