One or two things you should be aware of when getting someone in to fit an ICP switch-

1. You have a contract with Endesa which states the size of supply you have signed up for. It is shown on your electricity bill and is usually around 3.3, 4.5, 5.6kw for an apartment or small villa. The ICP should be fitted to match this as long as it is sufficient for your needs. Decide what you need and tell the installer. Donīt leave it up to them. I have heard of many instances of installers just fitting the biggest they can get away with without explaining the consequences to the consumer. The consequences are that if the ICP is bigger than your contracted supply Endesa charge you for increasing the supply.

2. The supply and installation of an ICP for an apartment or small villa (ie up to 5.75kw or 25amp supply) should not cost more than 150 euros max. In most cases alot less. For example the ICP and enclosure can be bought for around 20euros from Leroy Merlin and takes at the very most 2 hours to install.

3. If you havnīt got one fitted - get it done fast. If Endesa need to come out to attend any sort of fault and they find you havnīt got an ICP they are now fitting current limiting meters which switch off the instant you hit the limit of your contract. These are far more sensitive (and troublesome) than the standard ICP which allows a margin for error and time delay before switching off.

4. This is the first I have heard of the threatened fines being imposed. If the figure given is correct then the ICP will pay for itself in around 3 months.
