Hi all first post on here.
I need to upgrade my existing fuse box to a new consumer unit. I need to getthis done first and the works will be done by a professional electrician. Iwant to future proof the unit so that it can accommodate extras as I workthrough updating the house. Would appreciate if the electricians on here could reviewthe list below and give some advice on the best size of consumer unit to covermy needs. Big concern would be mixing the proposed garage workshop supply withthat serving the deep freeze which will be in the same space. Thanks in advancefor any help.
