Carried out an EIRC at an HMO. This only concerns issues found on the CU.
My issue is I have recommended a new CU. As it’s a small board and I can source the new CU for £60 (yes customer has a tight budget).
I have to change the tails anyway as they are two small and add two new socket radials. As sated the CU is only small so wouldn’t take long to swap anyway. The customer has said they can get second hand parts for this CU off another CU in another HMO. The CU is no longer manufactured and I don’t feel comfortable installing second hand parts into the CU. What would you do?
- Neutral bar loose and snapped from casing.
- Neutral linkon both RCDs damaged.
- One breaker incorrect branding.
- jagged saw marks cut out of CU casing (plastic).
- One RCD only just passed its times trip test.
