I live in a new flat that has electrical problems. The builders went into liquidation so im left to fix everything by myself unless I want to wait the 8 months that the NHBC take to do anything.
Anyway, it appears I keep getting surges in my flat which is destroying everything. At first I lost a simple transformer over a spot light which went with a bang and melted the transformer.
Next a surge blew a wall light but also blew the 8A fuse behind the fancy LEAX lighting control panel but also managed to damage the expensive LEAX control, and also my wireless router.
Im having to pay for a new unit for my lights and need to try and stop this happening again.
What could be causing these surges and how can I stop them.
Also the fusebox in my flat. How do I know that each breaker is actually set to the rating specified. This whole flat was wired in by an amateur and im worried the rating on the lighting circuits may not be 10A as stated but higher. How can I check theyre correct.
I will pay for an electrician but just want as much advice beforehand.
Thanks
