Surge protectors - who is responsible?
Former Community Member
If a contractor installs a “fully loaded” domestic consumer unit with surge protection, are they liable for subsequent damage that may occur to electrical appliances within the installation?
Provided that the CU is CE marked, BS certified, and from a reputable source, I find it difficult to see how the electrician could be held liable in the event that the SPD failed to provide the expected level of protection.
