    Modern door, door contact

    Thanks for confirming @Richard-the-ninth. That is what my common sense was telling me, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

    Modern door, door contact

    So, what are the options for Alarm Door Contacts on modern uPVC or Composite doors? I personally don't think it would do either style door any good drilling the frame channel section or the door itself to flush mount. What's the norm. This is on new build btw. Cheers

    NSI Approval

    Yes it's domestic, but a good few of them hance the viability. I believe they require the NSI approval so the new owners / tenants get a 'discount' on their house insurance. I think the is a fad on their behalf to be honest. There is no mention of maint contracts fr example and my understanding...

    NSI Approval

    Cheers @Lurch It's basically a new build site that requires systems installed and certified by NSI approved (Gold or Silver), so we are just trying to get Systems Silver for now. Going to give them a call, probably mondy now as stacked out tomorrow. As you say it seems very secret society...

    NSI Approval

    Got a load of jobs coming up that will justify it. It has been asked for and it looks cheaper to get it than to sub it out. From what we can see so faar anyway ;)

    NSI Approval

    Is anyone NSI Approved? We are looking to become Silver approved but can't really make end nor tail of what it required. I'm thinking @Lurch is the man for this one, but all are welcome to join in ;)

    PV - Install only

    Is it OK to fit a PV system sourced by the client and MCS certify it. Can't say I have ever come into the situation until now. If it is OK, how do you 'paper trail' it for QMS? Obviously no component purchases to log. Cheers

    20 panel commercial use payback

    No I don't. Not if you go by 'official' calcs anyway, which are the 'guide' figure. Yes these figures are usually on the safe side but: Let's take that you are going to install the 5.4kWp quoted in the original post:   For that to generate 5000kWh per year, each kWp of the system would have to...

    20 panel commercial use payback

    Without personally seeing the property, It sounds like that would be the way to go.

    20 panel commercial use payback

    Assuming it's the pitch to the left of flat and that you don't own the larger pitch to the right? That flat roof is a tough call............. Along the top of the dormas at front looks another possibility, but again not sure if it will be worth the cost of getting up there.
