Question - British Gas engineer says there is a fault ?

[Spoon]

Good idea Spoon, trouble is bg wouldn't know what an EIC oR EICR is cus their "engineers" are never wrong, at least not in their eyes, I can't believe the Muppet's actually entered "volt stick fail" in writing, mind boggling incompetence on this Blokes part. I wish I had some clout in this industry, I would tear them an extra one.

If their engineers are never wrong then they wont mind saying they will paying for the test if it contradicts their engineer, as what their engineer says must be true and the test will not contradict what he said.

Too deep for this time of night Spoon, I'll only get a Migraine

I get sick to the teeth of the BG cowboy company co'ercing their "engineers" telling people with perfectly safe TT installations that their electrics are dangerous

The experience of going to a number of properties where the householder has been scared rotten by these untrained charlatans seems to be blatant incompetence or if not one big national money making scam
They thrive on being a past nationalised industry where trust was given because a high standard of service was the norm

That about sums it up.

I had a customer just before Christmas ask me if I'd be prepared to rewire a relatives place because a BG engineer had condemned the installation.

BG ought to be condemned

BG's aggressive,sales driven policy of condemning,fault-free installations,is something i have described,many times,over the last 10 years.
I fully expect it to be the PPI job,of the future.

All that would take,would be a list of people,who believe they were wrongly sold,over-priced and un-required services,and one or more ex-employees,at higher level,to confirm this,as a policy

I remember a British Gas engineer telling the tenant her rcd was faulty.
He had carried out a zs test inside the boiler but every time he tried to do the test the rcd would trip.
He must have never heard of a low current zs test.........

(Which is only funny,if you are not a pensioner,with limited means,who was scare mongered into parting with six grand,for utterly bogus work...)

Won’t let me write anywhere else but this Chinese -------- is getting out of hand. A superb forum being ruined.

@Massive1 . A temporary method is to go to their profile and select ignore.
