My son wants a wall heater with pull cord installing in his bathroom. The consumer unit is on the other side of the bathroom wall, with loft space above so it sounds very simple. Only sparkly that has bothered to come give him a quote says he won't do it unless the whole consumer unit is changed at the same time. I don't know exactly what unit is there other than it has trips not old fashioned fuses.
Is this legit or is the sparky just angling for a bigger job?
