Hi guys
im going to have a look at a job tomorrow night. The lady states for the last 10 months! The boiler has been tripping the rcd on and off. You turn the central heating on and it trips in about 30 minutes. The women was a bit vague over the phone as she also says it trips with hot water being turned on as well. Some times 30 minutes some time 10 minutes sometime straight away.. she only wants me to have a visual look as i mentioned as soon as tools/tester comes out charges apply. Its a baxi boiler 5 year old. Wiring is ancient (her words) my question is what quick checks can i do to see whats causing it? Can it be the switching when the room has reached desired temperature? Simple bad connection? She also mentioned she has really bad damp. And had a plumber out to fix a gas leak, he looked for damp behind spur and said the wiring is shambles (his word) just the 30 minute rcd trip time is a bit confusing so any ideas on what to look out for would be great. This is tomorrow nights job Remember no tools/no megger Maybe a screw driver lol
cheers
