ragondin Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Does anyone know if you have to have a conformity inspection if you have your meter changed to a newer one? Or do the EDF just change it straight over no problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOther Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I thought you only needed an inspection if selling - yes ?Also if EDF cannot be trusted to fit a new meter correctly then who can [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 The inspection when selling is, in my opinion, a superficial look at the state of electrical insulation and equipment and is not carried out by the CONSUEL, but by the same people who check for lead paint etc. it does not carry a threat of not having your power reconnected. EDF now insist on an inspection by the CONSUEL when a property is reconnected to power after a significant time. Previously they would reconnect even if the fuse box looked like it dated from the 1930s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Department71 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 A fuse box has lots of white porcelain oblong thingies in it that are black around the edges, where the fuse wire ( thin bit of wire, nail, or silver foil from fag packet) has blown.
