I have just had a new pump fitted to my central heating system and all works
perfectly , hot water and central heating , but the plumber said he had a
shock when the electrics were switched off , an electrician has also had a
shock from the boiler when working on it and cannot work out what the problem
is . Can anyone help me please. desmo11225

something - perhaps the immersion heater, is leaking to earth and the
plumbing is not bonded to mains earth.

Or the plumber is a bit of a live wire and the plumbing IS earthed!

Suggest that you find a better electrician.

Could be wired wrongly! *All* the electrics for the heating system
should be wired via a single isolator - enabling the whole system to be
isolated when switched off. But if the system is powered from multiple
supplies, parts could still be live when other parts are switched off.
