[QUOTE="Mad Toad Society, post: 551162, member: 37624"] Hi, I've stayed in a new build for about 3 years and each year I get my boiler serviced. This year the boiler engineer found a fault during the electrical check. He said it failed on earth continuity and resistance to earth. With fuse out and spur off the LE and NE read 250k holms when it should be at least 1 mega holms. He suggested I get an electrician out to check it. I just want to check if anybody has came across this issue before? I'm not sure if there would be a very simple reason for this, something I could possibly check or fix myself for example. Rather than calling an electrician which would cost me just to identify where the issue is and that's before any fixes are applied. Any recommendations on what I could do prior to calling an electrain would be very much appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
