Question

A tradesman come to fix an RCD which was tripping. In less than 3 months a whole floor sockets stopped working. 

Should you get another electrician or the same person should check and fix?

Dijon · Accepted Answer

If it was a electrician then they need to come back. if not then you need a electrician to test your circuits to find the problem.

Joshua · Answer

I would recommend using the same electrician as he has probably worked out how the circuit was wired and should therefore be able to find the fault quicker.

You should Ask them for the circuit test results so that you can compare them if the problem comes back again.

Hi Emma,
If the RCD that was tripping was protecting that circuit the sockets are on, I would definitely speak to the electrician that came to stop the RCD tripping in the 1st place. It could be related but it also could be a new fault. Only after some investigation could that be confirmed.

The same electrician should be able to sort that out, always give them another chnace before seeking someone else. Thanks

Get the same tradesman back to fault find by testing the insulation to earth.

Jack · Answer

I think you should first contact the tradesmen who attempted the fix. Then I think if that fails find another electrician through experience it could be something minor.

The same person should check and fix it 
As he's the one that done the job you don't want and know all the changes

Hi, the same electrician would be ideal as he would be able to work out what is causing the tripping.
