Electrician advice please

[Pretty Mouth]

First thing I'd check is polarity. Has the meter installer reversed the polarity, either making it wrong now or making it right when it was wrong before? This is the only thing I can think of that could conceivably cause immediate RCD tripping after a meter change
Wouldn't cause tripping in itself, of course, but would, if there was a particular common, pre existing, serious fault..

Good call Brian. This would tally with the info in post 4, that the sockets were tripping intermittently before the change:

Sockets used to trip atleast twice a week before the meter was fitted. Was only after it was installed it gave up all together.

What it looks like now with the new one.

Under the Private Rented Sector 2020 regulations, the Landlord has a duty to have an Electrical Installation Condition Report done at least every 5 years. The Landlord has 28 days to put right any serious defects found in the report. The Landlord has 28 days to issue a copy of the said EICR to the tenant without the tenant having to ask for it
Failure to comply with these regulations may result in a fine being issued to the Landlord, which can be up to £30,000.00
The regulations and explanatory notes can found easily on the internet.

Wylex in a GET board for a start…. And you can see the C type one is sitting lower.

Maybe all he had in the van for a temporary repair.

Oh no as far as he's concerned it's done, bare in mind the C as far as am aware doesn't work

Oh not good.

Does the other RCBO marked sockets do anything? I think you said previously that all the sockets went off?

The one on the left has everything to it the B isit and the C is useless

He shouldn't have done that. Not 100% sure but I don't think you could get GET rcbos. I think that's the first time I've written get get.

Ok… gotcha.

Can we have a wider photograph showing all the equipment in one image?

Honestly am done with it all. Top it all off now the sockets are working, because we had no power for over 48 hours it's now blown the CPU board in the boiler so still no hot water...

Why would the power going back on blow the boiler board?


Again, it’s your landlords responsibility to ensure you have heating, hot water as well as a safe electrical installation.



Edit. Blanks missing in CU. That’s a C1 on an EICR:- immediately dangerous.

Apparently a power surge to the boiler after been off for awhile can blow the fan gas valve or CPU board. Also your edit I don't really get lol can u explain in am a thick roofer terms lol
