I've just had underfloor electric heating installed in my ground floor flat.
Whenever the underfloor heating is turned on, electric current can be felt in any metal objects in contact with the walls including the corner beads, wall sockets, even a frying pan placed on the hob.
This is not a shock or a discharge. It feels like a constant electrical current, mildly uncomfortable, but its definitely there, and goes away the moment the underfloor heating is turned off.
The electrician confirmed there's voltage present with a meter reading of some sort. They've since pulled up the electric floor and reinstalled it, double-checking everything. The problem persists.
The manufacturer suggests its a mains bonding issue (?). The electrician says everything is right with the bonding and is washing his hands of this.
Who do I need to take responsibility for sorting this out? Does anyone have experience with this phenomenon?
Thank you!
