Hi hope I can get some advice about this.
I have been getting shocks when I touch the central heating system radiators, I can compare it to having a shock from the lighting system. It doesn't happen all the time. For example, during the day when very little electricity is being used. The shocks have come in the evening when everything is used, lights, ring circuit, central heating etc.
Our house was rewired approx 20 years ago, from and including the consumer unit. I'm not sure what the system is i.e. TN-C-S, or TN-S or TT. What I believe is the earthing was via the piping system through the mains supply. Over time the supply has been changed from copper to plastic, from and including the supply mains under the road into the house.
Could this be the earthing, or lack of it, and how do I identify which earthing system we have.
