Hello,
Needing some advice if possible. I'm not a qualified sparky but DIY'er (A 'Sarah Beeny' lol) so apologies if this isn't the correct forum.
In a nutshell, I've been renovating a let property. Same tenants for 10yrs. New heaters (all electric flat) were installed by 'agents' tradesmen. One in hallway wasn't working. Moved it to lounge (small heater on rcd box) - not working. New heaters purchased for remaining rooms. Installed one into hallway - not working.
I've ascertained issue is everything on the "off peak" section does not work on "peak" hours. As renovations taking place in the day, I stayed last night and sure thing as soon as "off peak" time switched in, all appliances running on "off peak" worked. They all stopped working by 7:30am.
My question is, is the problem with the rcd or the meter? The meter time is running 5mins later than GMT but I doubt that's it.
I've contacted energy company who asked for pics and have said "readings are fine"?!? and I'm currently waiting on them to agree to send someone to look at it.
I've heard of issues with off peak not kicking in, but my off peak does - the peak time switch stops anything wired to "off peak" working during peak times.
Apologies again if this is the wrong forum.
