Help! EDF?Consuel


Supawhytes

Recommended Posts

Hello All - we have just finished our house in 47 after a long haul but keep being cut off by EDF because the bulider will not meet up with the EDF chap so we cannot obtain the Consuel

We are at the end of our tether with the builder who will now not respond to us at all!

We have been told by our French architect (who has been exceptionally good) that he knows of no other way of getting the Consuel and that the builder has to turn up and sort it out

Surely this cannot be the case?

Does anyone know how to contact the EDF or has been in the same situation as we are and can offer us a solution?

All replies would be most gratefully received

Thanks in advance

Lou & Michelle

[quote user="La Guerriere"]The CONSUEL guy is not employed by EDF. They are a separate organisation, and it should be your electrician who gets in contact with them for an inspection (see www.consuel.com). Once the inspector from CONSUEL has been, he should provide a certificate which you take to EDF to get the permanent supply connected.[/quote]

 

Not Quite;  Anyone can get in contact with the Consuel, not just Electricians. The proceedure is you apply to the consuel for the test form (which you pay for). You then fill out the test form and send it back to them . The consuel then contact you with a date for their inspection.

[quote user="BJSLIV"]As statee it is normal for the Consuel inspection to be requested by the installing electrician. In fact the larger fims are able to self-certify their own work , hence no inspection.[/quote]

 

This is no longer the case. Everything goes through the consuel.

No more self cert.

Sorry.......
