Hi,
I have recently bought a house and am doing some decorating and I wish to change the standard plastic light switches with some new chrome ones, my question is..... Its a 70s build house and I have taken the switch off and there does seem to be an earth wire connected to the metal back box so can i assume it is earthed? how would I check, I do have a digital multimeter but its been many years since I used one and never for mains voltage.
Thanks for your help,
