    RCD in consumer unit keeps popping, replaced with new one, still same issue

    Update for you guys. Went to bed with the shower, first floor sockets, lights and wall lights MCBs all in the down position and all plugs taken out of their respective sockets - result? Still trips the RCD. Next step was to try and see if perhaps it is one of the MCBs to the left of the RCD...

    RCD in consumer unit keeps popping, replaced with new one, still same issue

    Thanks for the replies. In the summer months, the hot water is controlled manually. We have a big tank and there is only 2 of us, so we tend to warm it up once a day and then switch off completely. So there is nothing programmed to come on or off boiler wise. The sockets were done some months...

    Morning folks. I have been a recommended a good electrician but he is only able to come and see me next Thursday. :( Been quoted £150 for the chap to set aside half a day. While I am waiting I would like to do more fault finding, because the issue is that as soon as the RCD trips, the house...

    RCD in consumer unit keeps popping, replaced with new one, still same issue

    Hi Rob, thanks for the reply. Would you really think that it is the central heating pump? It is summer and we don't put heating on past about April unless it is really bad. As for patterns, it seems to go off in the middle of the night at times, it is a small home and when it goes off...

    RCD in consumer unit keeps popping, replaced with new one, still same issue

    Morning guys! Over the weekend I noticed that the 80a RCD in my consumer unit kept tripping. The house doesn't have anything particularly power hungry - no air con, no DIY tools. It even trips in the middle of the night sometimes (I know so because the house alarm has a little fit when it...
