Hi Everybody,
I am getting quotes at the moment for a house re-wiring job and from what I can see I have three options. I would like some advice though on which ones are acceptable to my house insurance company (I have called them but they were a bit vague so I need to send a letter in to confirm the position).
Option 1 - Installation and test by RECI or ECSSA certified contractor. Insurance company happy as the contractor will have public liability insurance which could be claimed against if we had an electrical fire or other serious problem.
Option 2 - Installation by an electrical contractor with public liability insurance and test by RECI/ECSSA contractor. Insurance company happy since electrical contractor will have public liability insurance. We have peace of mind after RECI test that everything is up to industry guidelines in terms of the quality
Does anybody know if the above is correct - ie: is option (2) covered by the insurance company?
Many thanks for any info.
