I just had a survey carried out on a property I am buying and the report said:
"the electricity meter adn consumer board are located under the stairs. The installation appears to have been partially upgraded fairly recently but may still not meet current standards as there does not appear to be a split consumer unit with RCD protection"
is the main purpose of havign this for use of eletrical appliances outside. An electrician I spoke to told me one way of resolving the issue was to have an RCD socket installed either near the outside door or on an outside wall. Will this offer adeuqate protection?
