I’ve started on fitting my socket boxes round the garages and working out the route of the power line from the main consumer unit in the kitchen, as I don’t want to be digging up the patio I’m going to be routing the SWA overhead to the garage

This socket will be used solely to power the 12v transformer for the Chines diesel heater and this will have it’s own 16amp type A RCBO/RCD to itself

I’ve fitted the poles for the suspension cable support from the garage to the bungalow

I’ve got hold of a professional electrician who is happy to do all the connections and test my work and finally give me a Part P certificate
Question
I’m not sure whether to go for type “A RCBO” or “RCD” circuit breaker switch in the fuse box, the electrician has told me the difference between the two, and really it’s up to me which one I go for, type A RCBO breaker switch is around 3 to 4 times the price of the RCD breaker switch
I’ve been told type A RCBOs can do what RCDs can do plus protect a circuit from short circuits and overload, any opinions?
