What is everyones opinion about fridge magnets being used on a consumer unit? I understand edi-currents and that it’s not recommended, but is there solid reasoning why?
Just for some context, I work for a large housing association in the West Midlands UK completing the electrical safety inspection (EICR’s) for our rental properties.
Recently we have come across a few new build properties with their 18th edition consumer units at waist height in the hallway
Most of these properties have the fridge/freezers incorporated into the cabinets and the boilers enclosed in a cupboard.
This means that the board is the only metal face in the property.
I have come across this a few times so far and we obviously discourage it, but just wanted some clarification.
And to know whether anyone else has come across this.
