Breaking Main Fuse Seal..

[Knobhead]

Or if you get called out late at night and don't have a spare one on the van ask on here if someone has one lying round so you don.t have to disturb the DNO late at night.

Silly mistake not having a spare.

How do you find it funny ripping people off?

I didn't rip anyone off. I went and found the fault. That's what they paid for. I just saved the dno a visit at the same time. No more cost involved because I stuck a fuse in.

Power off at 10 pm, you turn up pull fuse, on here at 8 AM looking for fuse, that 10 hours without power. Someone else said the DNO will turn up within 4 hours of turning up and change fuse thats at least 6 hours quicker than you were. So a few hours charged by you, compared to maybe 2 hours max fault finding.


The DNO also would probably not charged for the fuse unlike yourself.

Be interesting to compare the DNO's charge to yours.

How often do you have seal number inspections in Ireland?

They not That regular over here

Firstly it's Northern Ireland not Ireland I was talking about. when a meter is being read they are supposed to check the seals. Not saying its always done but its supposed to be done.

They still wouldn't of had power if the dno had come because they had a fault!

why do u not under stand that???? I stopped looking for a fault after 45 mins of looking because they were been charged a lot of money, and 2 I couldn't be certain it was fixed till the supply was back.

When a house is pitch black other than torches and loads of stuff plugged in lamps in situ and appliances wired in it. You can't say just how long the fault will take to find.

same here hawk....
meterman told me this one the other day....i had asked him just off the cuff how he would react if he saw a meter seal had been removed
say if:
a) the seal had been removed but there had been evidence of recent work carried out....such as a new board

or

b)seals removed but no evidence of works having been carried out..

his response to both?

well i have to report them anyway regardless.
