Electrical Installation User's Manual.

Zoomup
We are provided with user's/owner's operation manuals with many products these days, such as with new cars or domestic electrical appliances.


Should we provide one regarding domestic electrical installations, especially if we are letting a house or flat, or after a rewire? The manual could simply cover the use of the electrical installation and the operation of consumer units and internal devices such as the main switch, M.C.B.s, R.C.B.Os and R.C.D.s. Does one exist in printed paper form already?

    I have often thought that a house user guide would be a good idea. Nothing complicated but the location of stop taps and any CH/HW valves and their purpose along with where the CU is and any sub boards.


    How often do you ask where the water stop cock is in order to check bonding and get a blank response. In one house I never found it or where the water supply  actually entered the house. The bit of wire that may have been the water bond had a loose end under a kitchen cupboard. 


    Whether the owner/tenant would ever have read it or be able to produce it is a different question?
