[QUOTE="Region Electrical Services, post: 520125, member: 34191"] I think it's all valid points about the tester, if you know someone in the trade then they might lend you theirs. Or it may be worth looking under the NAPIT's Electrical TPC (Third Party Certification) scheme and see if there is anyone in the area that can come in and inspect and test. Additionally, make sure you're up to speed on the correct use of colours and labelling of cores. They have CHANGED a lot in the last 30 years, as I'm sure you're aware, but I'd hate for you to make a mistake based off of how you used to do things. Luckily the technology has advanced enough now that an RCD/RCBO will likely cut out if there is a fault after you change any board. Make sure you do a ECIR of some degree before changing the CU too otherwise you may find that some circuits won't turn on and you'll leave your daughter in the dark. I did read most of the comments, apologies with I'm just repeating some if it. Thanks, Dan [/QUOTE]
