We don't want any changes made there are plenty of sockets and the lighting positioning is good, it's what we have to have done that's the problem in terms of safety and inconvenience. Will proceed with the PIR and wait for the solicitor to get back to us.

Ok had one local electrician round this morning he looked at the inlet/fuse board and also undid a couple of pendant lights upstairs and downstairs also looked at the gas and water. He recommends a PIR but can't do it for at least 2-3 weeks Not sure if the lights are earthed but looks as...

We won't have both houses for much longer only until the end of the week. Just waiting until a reasonable hour to start ringing around electricians! Thanks all Andi

Okie cokie, so what are the consequences of TT vs PME? Is that worse!

Nothing at all was mentioned about the electrics, the boiler was mentioned but we knew that needed replacing with a combi and we factored that in.

The wires at the bottom of the meter from left to right are: Red Black Black Red Dunno if that means anything

Ok, that wire that is pointed out on the pic is green it then goes out of the wall at the top left of the picture where the electric comes in....does that help?

Will just get an electrician out ASAP will hit the phones tomorrow! Thank you for all your comments so far, I still don't understand electric though :shock: :wink: but even I thought something wasn't quite right. Andi Blonde and female - I can change a plug but that's as far as my...

No idea Paul! We will get an electrician out but as its Sunday I wanted to try and understand a bit more about what we have and what may need doing, I have read that in a PME system the earth leakage current is fed back to the electricity boards sub station along a neutral return wire and then...

Will get a pic as soon as we can, the wall lights in the living room have earths and the light switches in the kitchen are earthed.

Bit more of an update, there are 4 ceramic fuses behind the REVO. The house was built in the 1970s, and doesn't need re-decorating, it has no storage heaters. Really not happy no mention of old electrics was made in the survey and surely that should have been obvious to a valuer/surveyor...

Hi Thanks, the only place we haven't checked for fuses is the attic if that's a possibility. Will try and get a pic of the kitchen lighting wiring ASAP but OH has gone off to the old house for a few more things so may be tomorrow. Thanks again Andi

We moved into a property on Friday, and can't find the fuses. From the left hand side there is: A black box which says eon on it A PME system 100a series 7 The meter A small grey box with on/off multi9 A larger white box that says REVO and an on/off switch...
