[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 496637, member: 1408"] Agree with Kerch's post . Mr. Franchise earning fortunes for a load of suits sitting in an office who have never done any electrical work in their lives . When he says the RCD wouldn't reset , that implies that half the circuits in the house were dead before he arrived . Did he show any test results for the "[I]faulty"[/I] RCD I wonder , as usually the first check is to switch off all the breakers & put them back one at a time ...looking for a circuit that might be knocking the RCD out . When our Regs change , which is becoming a regular happening these days , there is no requirement for the whole country to have re-wires , new boards etc etc . The bloke was fishing for extra work to my mind [B]AND[/B] he should not have left the board without the RCD which , allegedly , possibly , may not be faulty at all but its disappeared now into the back of his van . Theres a bad feeling about this , I feel you've been scammed for extra money . Most guys on here , including me , would do what it says on the tin , carry out the EICR , give you the report , pointing out any problems or dangers . Then its up to you , like an MOT , if "Unsatisfactory" obtain a quote for whatever needs doing . [/QUOTE]
