    @Sleeper12 the OP has not raised any significant issue with Safe Electric / RECI so they have had no reason to take action.

    Agreed. Point taken. Maybe I'm skured by past threads. If fairness to Safe Electric once they do actually latch onto a case they are very thorough.

    My highlighting of what really happened to reci opens a huge can of worms. House torn apart to be rewired. Various people/businesses in trouble and me on the end of their venom likely. And likely financial costs will come my way. I appreciate it illegal for contractor to sign off on someone elses install. My 'cert' is really just a periodic inspection report. There is also a small possibility that the installer and certifier both work for the company that is the registered contractor which would make things legal if I am correct.

    I would think it unlikely that the house would be rewired. If it was my house safety would trump inconvenience.

    If they deceived you then you shouldn't be loosing any sleep.

    Why not check this out? It couldn't be that hard. Then only report of there is something to report.

    The only way I get the safety you mention is through a rewire surely. Harder than you think to prove they both work for same company.

    .....or it passes a far more detailed inspection.

    No proof required, just satisfy yourself.

    Oh sorry,I read it as an inspection by safe electric on the rec which they do annually
    Either way as others have already said it’s not permitted to certify someone else’s work

    On a rewire there should be 1 certificate with 3 copies
    1 Original to customer (with all tests completed pre/post connection)
    2 pre connection to esbn(to facilitate connection to meter)
    3 post connection to safe electric (with all tests completed)
    4 contractors copy(to match test records)

    I’ve never come across a rewire where esbn weren’t required to connect into the meter
