Hi,
I had an EICR done and it failed on one item which was a C2 and that was in our utility room. From what I was told there is an open circuit and no continuity. It took a long while but after questions asked, it was ascertained that the previous owner had an old boiler in the utility room...
Hi, in the UK, was vacuuming, did upstairs, went down to the hall, and the vacuum stopped.. checked the fuse, fine.. hit it, plugged it in again, hit it again, plugged it in again. still not working (why do we do this lol)
Plugged it into another socket and it worked... never know a socket...
Hi all. I recently failed a section of my AM2E assessment. Passed 7/10 but failed on some silly things I'm confident of correcting second time round.
One thing that's got me is the 'Inspection & Testing' section. I failed every circuit with the following feedback
EARTH FAULT LOOP IMPEDENCE...

Simple question: Is the charge controller in a Rolec tethered charger different from that in an otherwise identical non tethered one?
The non tethered charger (EVWP2020) serving my holiday cottages failed last week, with the blue light flashing faster, accompanied by a ticking sound, when a...
Evening all,
I found my first ever split concentric cable today. Running from an isolator up and into a flat. I was doing an EICR.
I could not verify where the cable is within the fabric of the building.
I failed the EICR on the grounds that the cable has no mechanical protection, no RCD...
Hello everyone,
Need some advices to be fair. How do you charge for remedial works after an EICR did not pass? Are you charging on a daily rate?
Thank you
My parents had an EICR completed after a change of tenant in the shop and flat property, this took place March 2021.
The summary of the report stated that the premises was dangerous and the full rewire was required to make it safe.
I have since completed a the C&G inspection and testing course...
Failed AM2 Fault Finding 3 times!!! hope somebody can help me, I’ve spoken with the examiner, he said my fault finding itself is fine it’s just my writing/explanation. Can someone give me some examples of what to write so I can pass it this time!? Thanks
Hi I am looking for advice please.
Last week I done my am2. And the only thing I failed on was safe isolation of the 3 phase circuit.
The assessor told me to safely isolate the 3 phase isolator.
So I turned of the isolator put a lock and tag on and put the key in my pocket.
I then...
The photo shows a cooker hob ignition switch unit from a Neff/Bosch hob. One of the switches has failed. The issue was caused I think by ingress of liquid. I have dried the unit as well as I can. A replacement unit costs over £40. Has anyone ever opened one of these to repair it? I am reluctant...
Hi .
I have a EICR that has failed . Can anyone please advice if some of the suggestions on there are legal requirements or not as there was an EICR on the property in 2014 and there was no problem with some of the things recommended in this report. For example :
1. -Remove & install new LED...
Had a Knightsbridge VFRIC8WW IP65 downlighter fail recently (started to flash), disappointing as only 18 months or so old and probably only a couple of hundred hours use (bathroom). Got a new light & driver but clearly just the driver had failed so all OK now.
Decided to take the borked one...
Hi, quick question before I start ripping a customers Consumer Board apart.
Called out to a simple job of installing electric supply to a summer house. Nothing major being used in the garage or planned to be in the summer house and is only 10m from the house so was happy to extend the radial...
Hi all, I recently failed my installation of swa cable and TP&N socket outlet and not sure why. Passed the rest. Any advice, It says:
-did not complete connections/terminations to industry standards
-identification/labelling to the required standard.
Hello all, hoping for a little advice from you kind people :-)
My friend has been told to change consumer unit by the people who did the EICR, at a cost of £600, which i think sounds excessive. It seems to only need a new RCBO and blanking plate(s) fitted? I guess a photo of the existing unit...
Hi All,
Hope someone can help with a sanity check. In mid 2014 we had our house fully re-wired and it received an EIC at that moment in time. As our property has just been rented out, it has had an EICR conducted and the C2 failings were 'IP RATING OF CONSUMER UNIT COMPROMISED' and 'NO RING...
Just done this and to be honest I'm underwhelmed.
Exam is a 60% pass mark, open book, multiple choice.
40 questions, you get an hour.
It cannot be possible to fail this surely?
I Know you can fail the practice but in reality that's only going to be through failure to safely isolate.
Anyway...
