How reliable are these testers,the reason i ask is that we have just decorated the hall and on one wall we used to have a mirror and a couple of pictures.
At the bottom of this wall is the box containing the electricity meter, never having used a tester before my husband decided to buy one as we planned to put some other bits up in various parts of the house, however returning to the wall requiring the mirror the tester bleeps and lights up wherever you put it on this wall. Does this mean that the wall is completely full of wires or are we being confused by readings coming from the meter itself.
The meter cupboard is about 2ft 6ins high and the wall goes up to the hall ceiling and it bleeps and flashes at the top and sides and all the way down,so i am terrified of knocking any picture hooks into it or drilling any holes.
Any advise would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks,
Janet
