As the tumble dryer could be a large load I would put the garage sockets on the ring. The TV one you could spur off. No need for a fcu unless your adding it for isolation only.

Found on Facebook. If you or your customer ever think your over charging for an EICR then refer then here ! British Gas !

Pays by direct debit which they dropped in November, but have increased again in May ?????????? 🤦

Nope she genuinely wouldn't know what to do

Customer rang to ask if I would second fix a rewire as their original electrician has disappeared. Said yep no problem, but I will have to carry out a full inspection of the wiring before agreeing to take it on. Turned up today to inspect. Everything looks good. Cables in zones, grommets...

Thanks Binky. I thought there should be. I just want to make sure there's no surprises when I rip the garage wiring out.

Ok, im putting my head above the parapet with my tin hat on for this one ! I don't install these, and have very little knowledge about them ( a dangerous thing I know ! ) but was doing an EICR at a property which the customer has just moved into. The invertor and the batteries are located in a...

Worst case scenario would be adding a small additional consumer unit. This technically could get away with not being notified as your not installing a new circuit or replacing a consumer unit, your only repairing what was already there and leaving the installation in no worse a state by doing so.

Well just had my Napit assessment and according to the field officer the timetable for Amd 3 and 19th is as follows : September ish 2024 Amd 3 released. Late 2026 to Mid 2027 19th Edition. There can't be any more than 3 amendments to any edition apparently hence 19th after this lot of updates...

H264 is pretty much the standard for camera nvrs at the cheaper end. I know the police have lots of issues with not being able to view footage from some of these. Unless you could flash the cameras software your probably stuck with it.

Just chatting to someone who doesn't know you and won't judge you can be a lifesaver. Sometimes just someone who will listen to you too. I'm happy to chat or listen if anyone needs it, as I'm sure many of our members on here are. It's OK not to be OK. Said often but men especially struggle to...

Multifunction Tool ?????

At least no one has said "Thats never happened to me" ! We all know that we should never work live, but we still occasionally do it, out of wanting to get the job done, sheer laziness, or plain old CBA ! My question is when its live and you know its live and you get a belt why does it never...

Unfortunately all the schemes appear to be just in this buisness to make money out of us. I'm a Napit member and it works for me. But would I use their coding book as definitive guide. No. Both publications are guides. If you have the relevant experience then you understand what to code what...

If the rcbos are tripping in time then it's a C3 only thing it can be.

Well they have to show that they are worth all the money we pay them 🤣

Summer 2024 Amd 3 Summer 2025 19th ?????????

Ive used this in the past. Simple to setup and comes with software for you to get the data off. That's the company I hired from, they do deliver, but you may find a local supplier you can collect from. You don't need an energy monitor you need an energy data logger. So what your customer has...
