EICR in an empty property part 1 | Typical 1970s installation. (19)

- Today I'm carrying out an EICR on a property for a landlord who actually cares about electrical safety! After finding various faults along the way it was nice to fix while I was there and then get some results. When carrying out an EICR it's often easy to get carried away with fixing repairs while you're there, especially when you know they'll impact on the final condition report. With the installation of a new consumer unit on the cards it was necessary to check all cables and accessories throughout, as it should be required before the upgrade of any consumer unit.
AS USUAL GUYS THIS VIDEO IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND NOT TO BE TAKEN AS ANY KIND OF TRAINING OR EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATION. AT ALL TIMES I AM IN FULL CONTROL OF THE INSTALLATION AND THERE IS NEVER ANY RISK TO PERSONS OR EQUIPMENT. ELECTRICITY SHOULD BE GIVEN THE FULL RESPECT IT DESERVES. - บันเทิง
In my opinion you are No1 on the tube now.
You make things so clear and easy to understand..
Enjoy watching and learning.. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Archie Oliver 100% agree with that
Thank you. There's some great electrical channels on here I pull inspiration from all of them. I feel we all have something different to offer.
200% agree!
I thought Fanny Nag was number 1 😂
zjzozn he wishes talks to much
Best electrical videos on TH-cam, the others talk so much crap about irrelevant things, people tune in to watch and learn, most of them are turning into reality tv episodes.............. keep up the great content
I've many years in the trade and its good to see your methodical approach to an EICR. Empty house makes all the difference. Really enjoying your no frills videos keep em coming and appreciate the work that goes into getting them up on youtube.
You are honestly the best electrician here on TH-cam. Thank you for your knowledge in the videos and the time you put into them for all of us. Keep it up!
A superb job.well done sir.keep up the great work and vids.loved the speed up.it made me laugh and bucked me up loads.thankyou very much indeed.
Best spark to watch on here mate , your. Always in control and talk sense 👌
Really enjoy your videos, especially the way you break them down and explain them in laymen terms. Best by far for me regarding testing etc. Thanks
another great and informative video thanks and keep them coming
Cracking video James. So many similarities to my latest. Same board, same issue with CPC at lights. At least your client wants to make good. Mine said it’s been fine for years 🤦♂️ what could possibly go wrong 🤣. Keep the great content coming 👊
Cheers Craig, yeah it's bad when they have the wrong attitude towards safety.
Be good to see again once the work is completed👍
i like the bit where you run down the stairs, flick the switch and then back up. things like that make the video more interesting to watch. informative video, but the techniques used make it unique compared to other youtube electricians. some have used "special effects" but not too well.
Cheers glad you liked it. I can't take myself too seriously and it always makes a sometimes dull testing video a little bit more watchable!
Testing is dull, but happy days for the new CU install
Great video! You explain so well. Becoming One of the best youtuber to watch.Looking forward to seeing the video of the updating of that properly.👌
Thank you. Should be getting in there next week to sort it all?
Ever need a helping hand free of course just for the experience.
from someone who's hopefully looking to do napit course this yeàr after doing college 1 day a week for 3yrs but 30yrs ago ill even bring the coffees 😊 enjoy the view and helped to confirm things for me keep up the good work cheers👍
I like the way the kewtech tester dials actually say the type of test unlike megger mft. Good for people starting out testing
Great vid Mr Beck, I bet you pulled that fuse and closed the door a bit so we couldn’t see…. I would’ve 😂
Thanks for a really good video. If diyers had stayed away from it, it would have been good by the standards of the day, apart from the bonding issue. The MK gear looks like 1960s. Putting the doorbell on its own circuit is a bit crazy: I have always thought it bad practice to have only one lighting circuit in any dwelling, however small.
Loving the eicr videos 👍🏻 really enjoying your channel. Good job that tube is going, sure 8ft replacements aren’t available any more.
Those MK fittings have got to be early 70s, my parents old house had them ripped out during a re-wire in 1983 !
Even earlier - my first house (new) was in 1974 and had MK Logic throughout.
Looks a lot like the wiring and fuse box my parents still have but they have even fewer fuses - eek :o As much as I would like them to have it checked out properly it's sometimes a case of 'if it ain't broke' and 'there's nowt wrong with it' unfortunately with them :(
Looks like a pre-pay meter there (maybe with Smart function) - shouldn't mix the two up particularly in your trade ;) Your comment at the end about the landlord leaving it to your judgement to trust you gives me reassurance - shame you're not further south!
Great job again like always
You have more patience than me, I turn down eicr,s as soon as I get asked. Can’t stand them. At least its an empty property which makes it more bearable.
I know the landlord, I knew the property and he was anxious to get the electrics checked out before moving another tenant in.
Good chap....Good vlog 🤓👍
Dear sir.i really enjoyed this testing very much indeed.l love doing testing myself too.
Very clear .precise and methodical.well done sir .keep up the superb work sir.and the great videos.chers ste.
Another top video mate. I think now though its red face, black face, green face undecided face
On the lighting it may be the capacitor that's making the reading rise up had this before myself
Love a good 8 ft strip think the last lamp and starter I got was nearly £40 😂😂
Aharon Stubbs put a hole in the wall and it’ll light two rooms, very efficient 👍🤓
Another great video mate, love the down to earth style of your videos, lots of technical info and great tips . Ever thought of getting a go-pro body cam, that way you could leave it recording for an hour here and there with your hands free and be able to upload an extra raw video or two during the week, don't even edit it , just put it up warts and all 😉.....anyway great job and looking forward to the next one 👍
Thanks for another video showing real life EICR with associated problems. That light circuit looks decidedly dodgy with a fairly high R1+R2?
Educational good video. 👍
Cheers, glad you liked it 👍.
Hi enjoying the videos, spotted in your van the organiser boxes could I know where you got them from. Thanks
So with a place like that. Are you allowed to leave it as 1 lighting circuit ?
When you said you were going to add additional sockets, are you adding onto the same circuit with low IR or a new circuit, as you didnt mention if you had found the IR fault in the vid? thanks
I'll be running 3 new socket circuits. Kitchen, upstairs and downstairs.
I’ve used to hate tubes I hardly ever found a diy job that’s had its earth’s connected. Oh also lots of slack connector blocks badly fitted even melted blocks too.
maybe the insulation resistance falt between line & neutral mite be a capacitive load somewhere or maybe just old wires (life expired)
Didn't know you were NAPIT too 👍
I’ve been with Napit since 2004 can’t fault them
Would not have though that 8ft tubes are still made.
A gas boiler in a bedroom??? How someone thought it would be a good idea? Apart for the obvious when it's running, you know something that burn natural gas in a room where you sleep, what could go wrong.
STANDARD IN COUNCIL HOUSES
@@barrybritcher Smacks of design by committee.
Gas boilers are room sealed inside the combustion chamber of the boiler so no gasses can escape all landlords are required to have gas checks each year and at the start of a new tenancy, fitting of a carbon monoxide detector is a must too
@@leebutterworth7465 Can't say safety would worry me much but the noise and the fact that the boiler takes up so much space certainly would!
5:50 BG really make me laugh with their sealing crap. MOCOPA requirement is for seals with identifiable imprints on flags OR a temporary sticker and a report to the DNO... two seals and two stickers should do it because we're BRITISH GAS and we make the rules!
Also, did the supply come back on from the meter without you having to press a button? If so that's a pretty serious mistake by L+G with the original (and generally twatting horrible) E470 meter.
Boy it's, really pissing down
I want the old security alarm
Could put a single socket in the kitchen where the immersions switch was. Hope an rcbo board is going in. What is wrong with the doorbell setup?
Not sure on the board yet, doorbell is missing so the transformer is going.
I’d definitely be putting an RCBO board in future proofing the installation along with illuminating problems in the future
Love the comment " somebody really doesn't want us to get into the main fuse, we'll see about that " cheeky bastards try and take the moral high ground and then you see the state of some of these smart meter installs and think FFS!
I honestly think they should be fitting isolators every time they change meters. The whole country needs them.
I make you 100 % right on that one.
@@JBE They havn`t got time to install isolators, they got to get us all on smart meters ready for the introduction of variable tarrifs.
Interesting video, but the wobbly camera and too much PoV gives me motion sickness. I prefer it when the camera is on a tripod.
Beware of *anything* that has the word _"smart"_ in it's name. It's actually marketing jargon for _'stupid'._

DrQuadrivium .... are you smart 😂😂😂
@@zjzozn ...
I don't have _"smart"_ in my name so the question is irrelevant.

1970s wiring , best result for you and landlord is a rewire ...
Black phase 😂😂😂😂😂😂
