EICR no hopers? try this one.

A thoroughly decent, gentle, kindly pair in their 60s. Growing family. Children, grandchildren. They wanted to be sure their electrical installation was sound so decide on a "wiring check" Looked through the phone book, found someone who seemed qualified and experienced so asked him round. 


Because he was only there 30 minutes, the husband was suspicious and decided to engage another electrician, this time from a business long established in the city. This electrician asked to see the paperwork and demolished it in 15 minutes.


Further, he asked if the 1st electrician carried any test equipment.


Oh yes, said the home owner, just the one.


"He plugged it in to some sockets and 3 red neons came up each time".


This is a true story, Its become an avalanche

  • A few years ago someone I know was contacted by a company that had "taken over responsibility for the maintenance of her solar PV system, the original company having gone bust", and she was told that they would send someone over for a free annual inspection. Said person took one look at the inverter, showed her the steady green light and informed her that this indicated a fault and that the whole unit would need replacing. She asked me for a second opinion. The light was just the normal power on / ok indicator.
