Pvc Lights
Rewiring lights?
An electrician came to do a wiring inspection at my 2 bedroom maisonette. He told me that my fusebox is old, that my lights are not earthed. He quoted me £1650 to rewire all 9 lights, to install an 8way mini circuit breaker (to replace the fusebox) and to add some supplementary earthing in the bathroom area. I am worried about the mess if I get this work done and it's also very pricey. A second electrician told me that instead of rewiring/earthing the lights, I could have a residual current device (RCD) + bonding (less mess, the wiring is difficult to get to in my property), not sure what an RCD is and what the difference is between rewiring? Can anyone help? He quoted me £978 including the supplementary earthing in the bathroom area. Which is the best option? I want to make the property safe and ensure it complies with regulations. The cables are PVC not rubber. Is the work necessary? My dad tells me that lights are not often earthed...
The first electrician seems to me to be doing the right thing for you.
Reasons.. If he rewires all the lights it means should you change to "fashionable" metal switches, they can be earthed as could brushed metal lights.
Also by replacing your fuse box with an 8 gang mini fuse box he will be connecting your lights to its own RCB (residual circuit breaker) plus he will also be connecting your power to individual breakers.
WITH 2--- 5amp
2--- 15amp(maybe 1)
2--- 30 amp
Still have TWO spare to use should you extend or need more power without using spurs...
ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
BUT LISTEN TO OTHER ANSWER AND GET AT least ANOTHER two MORE QUOTES...
OH, and yes you will have a bit of mess but if he can he will pull your new cable through by using your old cable .....
