[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 496913, member: 1408"] Immersion heaters are notorious for breaking down and tripping RCDs , even more so in hard water areas . Tests need carrying out by the electrician , your oil fired boiler sounds like everything has been renewed by now . Immersion heater needs testing properly , not just the stat . That main RCD needs to be tested . Why does it switch EVERYTHING off ? Are you out in a rural area or a city ? Certainly need looking at changing or rehashing the consumer unit to reduce the nuisance tripping . [/QUOTE]
