Thanks for that I just replied above.

Well thanks for that guys. Some people will know I am actually studying electrical installation course but I'm fairly new. But I've already more or less completed my year in January.. I've just go my theory exams to do. But my practical side I've completed it. There's a youtube channel I...

Yes mate we will get a competent electrition to look at it. I just wanted to do some testing etc before since I have some equipment that I could put to use and get abit clued up about things

Does the EICR get recorded anywhere ? Or just given to the homeowner ?

Oh i see. It is confusing but does make sense, if that makes sense lol. Which basically will need to complete either elec regulations and therefore an EICR will be needed as the government was clear. So a safety report is needed for letting the property out, but we'll need to do an EICR. Can...

Thank you for that mate ... so if the wiring is okay despite being installed in 1996, I could still potentially pass a EIRC if everything is kosher ? Is the safety inspection report same as the EICR? Yes we will definitely get that done. I just don't want any faults and a fail. I'll do some...

SORRY GUYS , OUR CONSUMER UNIT AND WIRING WAS DONE IN 1996. APOLOGIES FOR THE MIXUP.

Thanks for the indepth reply, I really do appreciate it. I spoke to my family about this. They do want to get the consumer updated. But if they can hold off for a while as money is pretty tight hence why the need of moving into another family's house and leasing the current one. Once they get 1...

Because from what I read recently online was on the old consumer unit , you can't really add any additions to the fixed circuits. Maybe I've read it wrong or not. But that's a good point you made there. Can a EICR be passed on an old consumer board without RCD or RCBO on it ? Or does the reg...

Thanks for that mate. What's a rough guide price for a terraced 4 bedroom . 1 bathroom 1 kitchen roughly with a basement ?

Seems like a big messy job if you have had to do that to the whole house.

Okay the question I should really ask. If there isn't any modifications on existing circuits ie downlights etc. Can an RCD consumer unit be installed without rewiring. The previous rewiring would have have been done 2005 with black and reed cables.

Hey guys The old consumer unit installed in 2004 or 2005 is in the basement of a 4 bedroom terraced house. The family are thinking of either selling or letting the property out, which I presume would require a EICR cert. My question is then that will require a new consumer unit ? Previous...

Yeah I tried that it still didn't work work with the plug transformer. It's weired because the Ring works with a battery alone. Needs taking out to charge and putting it back in. It lasts a week. This is so annoying lol

A quick UPDATE..... I've gone bought a Ring Plug in Transformer which connects to the socket. My VT28 shows it definitely is giving out 24V! HOWEVER when i connected it to the Ring Doorbell . The doorbell still doesn't work!. I used my VT28 to check on the Ring probes. It flashed the...

The ringdoor bell doesn't have an earth terminal..... Also I've bought a new transformer. ... Still same issue. . I realised the transformer was connected to the lighting mCB. ... I did a voltage test on the cable before connecting to the transformer. It showed 230v. Then turned it the MCB etc...

Don't all sockets have earthing?

Hi mate the current one is connected like this. Which was working for a year or 2. When it was attached to the ring doorbell. Ofcourse this isn't working now. So thought I'd replace this one with a new more appropriate transformer. I wonder if this connected to an MCB . The cable is coming from...

I take it I just should turn off the CU main switch ?

Oh I see. Ill find one... I was wondering if you look at the pic I posted ... the power cable isn't coming from the CU. Its coming from black of the board. How would I turn that off (safe isolation) to change the transformer.
