I expected better from you Ben 😢
Hi Jordan. Sometimes it sparks the RCD. I’ve been to a place where we tried to reset the RCD and thank god the lid had been removed as it caused a spark and a small fire. I dig all your videos usually but would not really recommend doing all of this as a non electrician
There are some people who are built to do their own accounts and fix their own tire and fix their own oil filters on their car and rewire the electrics in their own house and be a superman at it all, but this video is not recommended by me to the average Joe
That was very helpful but i if I were an electrician I would still check even if the customer had, as a plumber I'm told how to do my job often and tend to just switch off as you can be led down the wrong path
At what point do you realise paying someone to hold a camera isnt conducive to a successful business model especially if you have to lay off your electricians from your electrical company to get by rather than sacrificing some views.
I wonder what you are referring to. When and where did Artisan state, that they have laid off a number of their electricians?
@ChristianWagner888 they didnt in this video but John made a video saying he had been made redundant along with others. Too busy with their social media rather than looking after those whos jobs actually apply to their trade.
A few years ago, my parents called me saying they had an emergency. The ring main RCD in the fuse box had flipped off, and wouldn't allow them to turn it back on again. They'd called an electrician and had been waiting a day already, with no sockets (no TV, no kettle, no fridge...). I went over and started to turn off individual sockets, and then trying the RCD again. But actually, it was the first suspect that I tried: The kettle. Water had got into its base, causing a short. Turning that off let me flip the RCD back on again, no problems. 24 hours without power, and my parents thought I was a genius. I thought that everybody already knew things like this, but evidently not. A quick Amazon order and a new kettle was with them the same day. Problem solved. And I told my parents to call me ASAP when they had problems like this, rather than struggle through!
Not at all. The vast majority of people do not know all of this. Any trades person will get countless jobs exactly like this. My daughter moved into a brand new flat earlier this year. She rang me up and told me that there was no hot water. I ran her through all of the obvious things - consumer unit, hidden fused spurs etc. She said all was as it should be i.e switched on. I was just about to set out to have a look and thought hang on, one last thing -check the cold water. Lo and behold, the "plumber" , who was really the clueless landlord, had connected the taps up wrong. Cold tap feed was on the left, hot tap on the right. Let cold tap run for 30 seconds and bingo, Hot cold water! Never overlook the obvious.The average punter is not schooled in the art of fault finding. Many will not have given a moment's thought as to why the hot tap is on the left hand side by convention.
Shocking.
Not a chance that a bulb trips the RCD. Might trip the MCB but definitely not the RCD. The RCD measures the difference between the live and the neutral, the two only condutors connected to a bulb.
When I get called to a fault I still do a basic walk through even if the customer says they have checked this and that. House M.D: everybody lies
Number 1, your bank balance before you call artisan?
😂😂
Gone bust firms don't usually charge much
He's not being silly, he's being A Honest Electrician, if you don't check the basics,,,,, light bulbs/faulty appliance/rain filled outside extension/light fittings then IF you do have to get a Sparky in you've save him/her from spending Time (= Money) on the basic checklist......So If Anything He's Being A Good Man with this FREE ADVICE
@@michaeltodd17Artisan struggling for business and getting rid of excellent sparkies because they charge too much to pay for a endless holiday in Asia.
I live in the same area as the company is based.
Illustrated prices on his website for replacement consumer unit and epic look to be around about the same as I've just paid another company to perform following a house move.
Conclusion being that his rates appear to be the going rate for the area for an established reputable contractor.
Maybe you live in a cheaper area?
God damn you UK sparkies pick some ridiculous places to put switchboards. If it’s not under the stairs at 500mm above the floor it’s behind a washing machine. Well done 👏
Almost everywhere else in Europe the electric panel needs to be at a human accessible height. In Germany the official guideline says that the middle of the panel should be at a height of between 110 cm and 185 cm. I am also amazed at the places and heights that these are mounted in Britain.
