[QUOTE="Apache, post: 327915, member: 828"] To be honest you have to look at the risk versus benefit. The new RCDs can be very sensitive, but they only trip when there is a fault. I'd rather have mushy food than be killed cutting through the lawnmover cable! Occasionally when you have a consumer unit (= fuse board) change there can be issues uncovered. They can either be with the installation itself or the appliances. Any issues are due to FAULTS that need rectifying. That can mean the old freezer that has been in the family 40 years needs to go. That said with refrigeration technology things have got very much more energy efficient in the last 10 years so the new replacement will pay for itself quickly. [/QUOTE]
