We rent and one of the power points had been sparking when it was being used. I had a double adapter in it and wasn't sure whether it was coming from that or the power point. As it sparked quite badly the last time I touched it I didn't want to touch it again (I am home alone with my daughter as my husband works away) so I contacted the agent via email and asked her to arrange an electrician but specifically asked to speak to the electrician before he comes to verify whether it could likely be the adapter, as if it was, then that is my issue and knew I would be liable for the cost and I would of just waited for DH to get home to look at it. When I spoke to the electrician he advised the problem would be stemming from the switch as that is the power source not the power adapter.
The electrician's side kick came and looked at it and advised it was in fact the adapter and when I said I was surprised as the other electrician said it wouldn't of been he said that that's not always true. Fast forward a week and the agent as sent me the bill for $132.00.
I feel this is neither the landlords issue or mine and that the electrician is liable as he probably just wanted the job. But WDYT? Am I at fault somehow?
