Hi Everyone,
I had a new consumer unit installed in December 2021, the electrician said that he had more testing to complete and would come back and said it could wait. My oven also began tripping on the same day, which he felt was a faulty oven.

Hi all
Just wondering your thoughts on how many domestic EICRs per day could be completed? The properties are small scale apartments, occupied and usually within same housing block.
