He has an electronic box with a wire attached and a hook at the end which he used it to catch the wires by the cooper end, one colour at the time, the neutral, the live and the ground. He looked at the numbers, the closer to zero means is good, but the ground to the problem circuit/ tripping circuit was 99.. I looked at this testing method when he came and unfortunately 80% of the floors, in fact 100% of the floors where the plugs did not work were already installed. The guys did the floors in 2 days. The tripping was before the floor guys came, we called the electrician and he came and said it's ok! Now, the third time he came he showed me the circuit is old, not with copper wires.. but did he not see that BEFORE???He didn't issue any papers yet, he said he will, but now with this last issue not sure what he will issue. Maybe a failed certificate with the guilt of the owners because we were not thinking to rewire the whole house.. He didn't do any testing to reach the conclusion with full rewiring. Of course there is no responsability on his side..And thank you for your answer!</blockquote>
