Wiring to and from boiler and cylinder and a fuse box question

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.19 PM

Hi, I have a couple of questions. If anyone could advise that would be great. Its a new build and the boiler is in the garage. The wiring to and from the boiler, timers and electrical valve switches come from a central box, which i guess the thermostats go into at the top. The wires coming from the bottom of this "junction box" are then loose (not attached to the wall) they are tided into a bundle and cut across a corner away from the wall. then after the corner they are all individual pinned to the wall. Its almost as if the wires were cut too short so they aren't long even to be pinned on the wall into the corner and out of it to the box on the adjacent wall. I hope that makes sense. does that meet building regs? The cylinder is in front of the wires, but I have kids who could get tangled in the wires. The second part is that I have a fusebox for the house which keeps tripping the downstairs RCD, but none of the other individual trips go on anything downstairs. How do i work out what is blowing the RCD and shouldn't one of the other trip switches go before the RCD? Any advice will be really appreciated

If it’s a new build then you need to contact the main contractor who got all the work done and put your grievance’s to them. Sounds like you have a few issues and as the build will be under a guarantee then they should get it addressed-at nocost to you.
