    Sudden increase in usage after electrical work

    The Burns' test is a useful clinical test for differentiating between organic and non-organic causes of low back pain Or the one for energy use :)

    Maybe someone misheard and what they actually said was leakage 😂

    Are you sure ? I thought a creepage test was to do with the shortest distance between two conducting points.

    Does this look OK ?

    Apparently they need to be in an enclosure as there is only single insulation on the join. Those splices are meant for overhead lines, not where they can be touched. That mess shouldn't be in the cabinet anyway.

    Looks like the OP has deserted us. Or maybe he's still looking for that illusive immersion tank

    Electrician failed to provide EIC

    Wives tale ? I think it's far wiser to discuss before work begins, rather than end up like the Op has had to deal with.

    The homeowner should have asked before the work started to ensure there was going to be certification.

    Sudden increase in usage after electrical work

    They could have had a Combi previously, and have now had a replacement Combi so never had an immersion in the first place. The OP right from the start said that there is NO immersion heater or anything like it.

    There are certain questions that the Op hasn't replied to yet. But even if there is an immersion tank being heated, can you explain why there would be an increase in consumption to previous ? The hot water would now be supplied from the combi.

    Lighting cicuit issues

    A bit more information is needed. Are we talking about upstairs /downstairs or all. If only the first light in a string/loop is working, then it suggests a break in the wiring could be due to rodents ? Have you checked other roses ?

    Sudden increase in usage after electrical work

    Has there been a change in the way the house was heated, such as storage heaters previously ? Has there been a change of meter ? Is there an immersion tank at all ? A picture of the consumer unit and meter, including showing the mcbs/rcbo circuits, maybe of help

    Oven stopped working, state of this plug!!

    I'm guessing there was a cooker outlet there originally instead of the double socket ?
