Yes he said I didnt need to change. More if had an officia electrical report done then under the 2017 regulation it would fail. TBF it was some of the previous comments that put the fear into me on the consumer board that made me consider getting it replaced

Apolgies for the delay but all seems to have been sorted. Electrician came round and immediate thought was to have individual RCBOs for each underfloor zone. Also we have 2 consumer units, one for the lights and the other for the ring mains (which is where the UF was). He moved the UF on...

This conversation reminds me of when we had the kitchen done. I worked with the installer in removing the old kitchen and lifting the old flooring. As we were lifting the old tiled floor, found wires connected with  plastic terminal blocks, bit of insulation tape wrapped around them, these were...

Thanks all. So in summary, guess the issue is some neutral  to earth leakage which is more highlighted with certain weather temperatures and pushes the board beyond limit when both UF zones are powered on. So could be something like the garden socket getting condensation when cold/damp outside...

New house, 15 yeas old Fingers crossed when electrician comes the system is having one of the days it is tripping so can see it for himself rather than take my word that there is an issue. Already explained the problem and if doesnt trip i dont think I would be wasting their time, my time or...

So need to start somewhere and from other's suggestions no harm with EICR to see if any obvious issues with the system

ok, so to revert back to my issue. what would you suggest I ask of my electrician to find the root of the intermittent issue given  it may not present itself when they come

Wouldn't the EICR pick up and hopefully find root of the tripping though?

Thanks, how should I specify the scope I want covered and ensure its thorough enough without being over the top and flushing money away Realise there's no one price fits all for something like this as every property is different with regards to size, its electrical complexity, etc but also...

missed this yes this has been my thinking, the question is how, where, why and maybe the proverbial needle in haystack. Anyway going for the EICR and hopefully will find the root of the issue 

Morning, various comments to come back to overnight Kitchen electrics were done by a separate electrician the kitchen installer employed, he also connected up the UF heating. He put the kitchen appliances on 2 separate ring circuits for the kitchen on another consumer unit we have with brand...

Thanks, appreciate the advice. Never heard or know of anyone who has had period inspections, appreciate people on this forum are an exception, but have read the link and will get someone in asap. Surprise the electrician we have used before hasn't suggested it rather than ask me to see if I can...

but, with my limited understanding, wouldnt this mean it would be tripping constantly not just sporadically and when it seems to be colder out. can't seem to get a local sparkie to come out and test unless I can show the system tripping....

Thanks, tbh most of what you say means little to me. The fact its tripping at random times makes me wonder if an electrician comes and tests they wont find a fault unless I can replicate the trip. it is feasible that different temps and weather conditions can affect whether the trip happens or...

Hi all, just signed up as I’m at my wits end and going mad as feel no one believes the issue I’m having. The set up We have Warmup electric underfloor heating, which is split into 2 zones, hall and kitchen, both have 4ie thermostats. The kitchen totals 3150 watt, 13.125amp and the hall is 2000...

Just signed up, I'm a reasonable DIYer and have a little bit of knowledge (I know its a dangerous thing) Will post an issue an having with underfloor heating shortly which is generally causing alot of issues.
