I'm getting a new consumer unit installed ahead of more electrical works next year. Is there anything I should know about consumer units or be specific with the electrician about beyond ensuring it has enough spare capacity for extra circuits?
From what I've read there's nothing revolutionary in the consumer unit marketplace beyond surge protection currently. I had thought about some kind of smart device that might give me stats on what's using what but I don't think that's really a thing yet and probably more sensible to do on sockets if we go down that route.
