About RCBO Consumer Unit

An RCBO consumer unit gives each circuit combined overcurrent and residual current protection, limiting the inconvenience of a single RCD taking out half the house when one appliance faults. iComply supplies and installs RCBO consumer units for homes, HMOs and light commercial sites across Greater Manchester and the North West. From Stockport we design board layouts, label every way clearly, and certificate the upgrade to BS 7671.

All-RCBO boards are popular for larger properties and rentals where nuisance tripping causes tenant complaints. We select RCBO ratings to match cable sizes and loads, consider surge protection devices where appropriate, and check main earth and bonding before energising. Existing circuits are dressed neatly into the new enclosure with spare ways for future EV or kitchen circuits where space allows. After testing you will know exactly which RCBO protects which room—useful for any future fault finding.

RCBO Consumer Unit FAQ

Is an RCBO board better than dual RCD?+

RCBOs isolate faults to a single circuit, which many households prefer. Dual-RCD boards can still be compliant; we explain trade-offs on survey.

Are RCBO consumer units more expensive?+

Device cost is higher than shared RCDs, but many clients value the resilience—especially in rentals and larger homes.

Can RCBOs be added to my existing board?+

Sometimes individual ways can be upgraded if the board accepts RCBOs; often a full board replacement is cleaner and more reliable.
