CHANGES IN AMD 2 RELUCTANCE TO COMPLY

John Peckham

I heard before AMD 2 that compliance with the requirement to install AFDDs where required would stop clients having consumer units upgraded due to the additional cost. 

The requirement to fit as a "shall" is limited to 4 types of installation has anyone experienced a refusal to upgrade the installation with AFDDs when replacing a consumer unit?

Also has anyone experienced any reluctance when upgrading an installation where SPDs are required under the new provisions of AMD 2?

The same question as above, any reluctance to install smoke detectors in domestic premises where an SPD needs to be fitted to the circuit supply the smoke detectors?

Thanks

JP

    Hi John.   I have recently completed a small extension through a builder i do lots of work for. When i initially looked at it the consumer unit needed upgrading partly for no rcd on some circuits and it wasn't big enough.  I talked through it with the customer and quoted for a nice DP RCBO Fusebox model with surge protection. 8 ways with spares and i quoted them £625.00 all in as i am not VAT registered.  When i went to do the job they had had it replaced by somebody else with a piece of junk from scr-f--. dual rcd with no surge protection.  It cost them £525.00.  Disappointed
