The common questions first, then genuine emails from customers across Devon and the South West, answered word-for-word by Shaye, no sales script.
"Hi, my consumer unit is the old plastic type with the cream coloured switches. Insurance renewal asked if it was metal. Do I legally have to change it or are they just trying it on?"
, Linda, Paignton · November 2024Fuse board
Our reply
Not illegal, but the regs changed back in 2016 (Amendment 3) so any new board fitted in a domestic property has to be non-combustible, which in practice means metal. Your old plastic one is fine to keep until it needs replacing or fails an EICR. Some insurers are starting to ask the question but I've not seen one refuse cover yet. If you're due a rewire or it's full of MCBs (not RCBOs), I'd swap it. Otherwise leave it. Honest answer.
"We've just ordered a Tesla Model Y and need a charger. The Tesla wall connector is £475 but the Zappi is nearly a grand. Worth the difference?"
, Greg, Exmouth · November 2024EV charger
Our reply
Honest take: if you've got solar (or are thinking about it within 5 years), Zappi every time, the eco modes pay back the difference quickly by only charging from your spare solar. If you've no solar and no plans to, the Tesla Wall Connector is a brilliant unit and you'll save £400-£500. Both are smart, both are OZEV-compliant. Don't let anyone upsell you to a Zappi if you'll never use the solar features.
"Hi, we just had an EICR done by another company and it failed with a load of C2s. They've quoted £2,400 to fix. Is that normal? I'm a bit gutted because the house was rewired in 2018."
, James, Newton Abbot · January 2025EICR
Our reply
Sorry to hear that, it's a frustrating one. C2 codes mean 'potentially dangerous' and they do need fixing, but £2,400 on a 2018 install sounds high to me unless there's something specific going on (wrong RCD protection, missing main bonding, undersized tails). Happy to come and have a look and give you a second opinion for free, bring me the report and I'll talk you through every code in plain English. We do this a lot. No pressure either way.
"We've just bought a 1930s cottage in Bovey Tracey, 3 bed. The survey said the wiring is rubber-insulated and original. Roughly what are we looking at for a full rewire? I know you can't quote without seeing it but a rough number would help us budget."
, Tom & Hannah, Bovey Tracey · February 2025Rewire
Our reply
Rubber-insulated cable from the 30s definitely needs replacing, it's well past its life and the insulation crumbles. For a 3-bed cottage you're realistically looking at £6,000-£7,500 plus VAT for a full rewire to current 18th Edition standards with a new full-RCBO consumer unit, smoke/heat alarms, and certificates. Older cottages sometimes need a bit more for stone walls or limited cable routes. Happy to come out and survey for free and give you an exact written quote.
"Our fridge freezer is plugged into an extension lead behind the unit because there's no socket close enough. Been like that 6 years no problem. My son in law just told me off. Is it actually dangerous?"
, Margaret, Torquay · March 2025Sockets
Our reply
He's right, sorry. Fridges and freezers pull a big start-up current and they cycle 24/7, extension leads aren't designed for that long-term and are one of the more common causes of kitchen fires we get called out to. The fix is a proper fused spur installed behind the unit, cleaner, safer, and you free up the extension lead for something else. Half a day's work, around £140-£190 plus VAT depending on cable run.
"Honest question, is solar actually worth it in Devon? My neighbour got a quote for £9k and the salesman said 6 year payback but I'm sceptical. What would you say?"
, Dave, Kingsbridge · April 2025Solar
Our reply
Honest answer back, yes, but the salesman is being generous. Realistic payback in Devon for a typical 4kW system with battery is 8-11 years depending on your usage and how much you export. If you're home during the day or have an EV/heat pump, it gets shorter. If the house is empty 9-5 and you've no battery, longer. We'll give you the actual numbers based on your bills, not a sales pitch. We also won't fit it if it doesn't make sense for you, said no to two jobs last month for that reason.
