ha, we have those same stickers, although we have an extra one with a bonus spelling mistake that doesn't fill me with confidence
I'm no electrician, but that does look like a bit untidy! So all of the green ones (shower, sockets and cooker) are protected by the RCD with the blue switch, the lighting gets a RCBO and the water heater just gets a breaker.
jdsnape-
We spent a year without heating because the power company didn't reconnect the fucking heater wires when they put in the deal-tariff meter. We just assumed the heating was fucked. Eventually got the sparky over and he's like "heater seems fine... let me look at the... wtf?!"
He wrote us a letter to chase compensation from them but I left that supplier and didn't bother chasing.
I'm tough and stupid though so can live with lots of dumb shit but if we rent it out...
hippy
Ah, I wrongly assumed the RCDs were only for the circuit they were on, not like a whole bank.
I mean, given how much luck I've had with the wiring in this place it wouldn't surprise me if either or both were true.
Oh look, I found a pic. Looks like we already have an RCBO for something.
I think that's what he was suggesting - there's some blank panels so I reckon he was going to try and get it up to spec as well as he could without having to get a whole new consumer unit.
ie. move the two circuits in the older brown box to the existing CU
