How to find the RCD

Finding your RCD

Alternatively, some Domestic Distribution Boards have Combined RCD’s & MCB’s called RCBO’s see the difference in the photos.

 

The Domestic consumer unit will usually be in an “out of the way”, such as at the back of a Kitchen cupboard, in the cupboard under the stairs, in a cupboard close to the front of the house or even out in the garage.

 

An example of a Domestic Distribution board looks like this, (there are many different Variants. But the RCD will always have a “Test button” built into them somewhere on the front, and maybe in a different Colour.

We found the service to be friendly and pro-active. We had an appointment quickly and the engineer was able to find the issue, which was not straightforward, within an hour and rewire the effected ceiling lamp and resolve the issue completely within 2 hours. Very methodical and accurate working - most appreciated!

"In June 2018 Karen and one of her team fitted some new lights in my kitchen ceiling. I was really pleased with the work. The job was done efficiently and tidily. I was kept informed of arrival time and I was impressed with the service I received. Thanks for a great job. Lucy"

I needed a job done really 'sooner rather than later' and at a weekend too! Karen came out, assessed what needed to be done and set to work straight away. Job done, cleared up and on her way within the hour! Not often you get that service! Certainly will keep her number on my mobile and recommend to anyone who needs an electrical job done!

Karen and her team provide a very efficient, friendly and pro-active service with a smile! We would not hesitate in recommending Bright Spark and fully intend to use them in the future for our electrical requirements."

I just wanted to say how amazing your customer service is. You are the first (and only?) trade company that communicates and is efficient from my experience. I really appreciate texts, and emails giving me updates. It means I don’t have the frustration of having to stay in for the electrician all day and waste my time. You run an excellent service. Your electrician was great and very quick. We will definitely be using you again.
