Hi there
This is a bit of a weird one. I have moved into a new house and it seems as though the main fuse/switch for the wall sockets trip completely at random.
Sometimes I can make it happen by turning on/off some strip lights I have in the conservatory so I started there.
One time I notced on the light switch for these lights a tiny flash of light coming from inside when turning the light off, so I changed the switch but the situation hasn't improved.
It seems to be worse over the last few weeks since I've had the central heating on, but even then I've come home when I know the central heating hasn't been on and I'll find all the sockets off.
Indeed, this happens when I've been at home with no significant load on the mains (all light switches off etc). I have some basic stuff permanently connected (modem/router/fridge/microwave etc) but nothing I would have thought would trip anything or have wildly fluctuating power usage.
This is pretty much happening daily now, was wondering if there's anything I should be looking out for? I've got one of those modern consumer units under the stairs...
