    There was some other work (fairly straightforward work, new sockets and lights and running cable for EV charger and whatnot) mixed in so the exact figure for that work specifically isn't itemised. I'll go back check exactly what I paid him.

    I recall seeing those docs alright when he was here going through it but I'll have to check my folder later to see if I retained a copy or just saw it on the counter.

    But the cert and test record sheet was done and submitted to Safe Electric which I'm 100% certain about as the ESB asked me to remind the RECI to send it into Safe Electric, as without it they could not go ahead with the upgrade. Once the ESB got those docs from Safe Electric they gave me a date for the upgrade to the meter. So that part was definitely done and I assume I can get a copy from them if I don't have one.

    That 80A isolator looks like a con tbh if i'm being sceptical

    Stuck in there to give the appearance of 16kva to the customer

    All the major sections of the installation supply side except ESBN look to be 12kva so it's out of place by the look of it

    agree with previous knowledgeable posters here

    It doesn’t look like 25mm mains cables

    It doesn’t look like there’s a 16mm earth cable to earth rod

    Should be a double pole main isolator

    Distribution board incorrectly rated for 80amp


    is there surge protection in your distribution board


    can you post a photo of complete board

    Can you post a photo of complete meter cabinet

    It’s also a requirement that you receive the certificate and test records
