Hi
This is a bit long winded, but just to explain the full story.
The question is at the end
My ex has had no hot water and only temp heaters for four weeks due to a broken common biomass system that feeds 54 houses.
As a temporary solution they have installed a peak off peak immersion into the hot water side of the biomass manifold.
They installed it with 2.5mm cable into a 32a rcbo, with 25mm entry hole into pattress, wrong flex and no time clocks.
I started a row on the phone, so another company came and had a look and "made recommendations", a third company is testing and certifying it Monday.
All the sparks will tell me is all water heaters must be on an rcbo.
There's 3 spare ways on the rcd side. I said you wasted money on an rcbo when you could have spent four quid on an mcb and spent the rest on a proper clock.
So one company subbed it out to another who did all the bad work. The intial company "made recommendations" after rushing round after I phoned, and they carried out the recommendations.
So thats two companies doing the install.
A third company is coming out on Monday to test it all and issue certs....
After complaining about this, all I can get out of anyone is "You dont know what you're talking about, all immersion heaters must be on a dedicated rcbo"
I said its only supposed to be on its own circuit, it can be on a common rcd. He swerves the question about why is a third party company issuing an EIC for work they didn't do.
So basically I am wondering what are the rules regarding another company issuing a certificate for work they didn't do?
And what should I do about this?
Cheers
