I had a SIM problem with my house cu. Power tripped. I reset and nothing. I pressed the test button to trip the main switch. Turned off all the rcb then turned back on the main trip switch then individual rcb. All worked fine though I couldn't for the life of me tell you what was the problem

Also check the times it's charging from the grid. Is there a pattern?

Check your inverter for timed charge. If you Google your inverter there's usually a walk through as to what the settings should be. Just check them all.

It's not just the sockets you have to consider. What will you be plugging into them? Will they be left outdoors (under cover)

You give sparkys a good name. Keep up the good work

I appreciate you are the expert but if your client asked for 1 socket in every room when you recommend 3 or 4 would you say they are questioning you expertise? If I'm willing to pay for the extra materials and labour to fit 8 sockets in a room when you recommend 3 or 4 why would you think they...

Haha. How do you know I'm not already paying double what you charge..

I'm all for free speech. 😜 Plus I'm not saying it's wrong. I just wouldn't allow it.

As a property developer imo i guess it depends on where the cables are. I wouldn't allow my sparky to run horizontal cables in any other rooms than the kitchen or utility. And even in these areas where possible return below a base unit and back up to the socket.

As mentioned I would avoid the cracked panels. Battery and an inverter is a good shout to dip your toe into solar. Use the cheap over night tariff and depending on the usage/storage you could drop your purchase cost by about a1/3 . One thing I would add. With battery storage I would work out...

This is the daftest post yet 😜

Depends how much of that is materials. I would imagine 2k for the labour

4 days max imo. £3-4k. If any more I would be using my size 10s

Not as daft as suggesting 6-8k for a rewire on 1 bed flat.

Save your money mate. Buy the house then get the sparky to sort the electrics.

And some sparkys

Whilst on the subject of building regs and electrical work. I'm in the process of building my own extension. On the last BI visit I commented "do you still need a copy of the electrical certificate to sign off the extension" (they have in the past) Nope, regs have changed and we no longer...

I'm agreeing with John. Battery only is prob the better option (whilst cheap rates are available) My panels are south facing and are pretty useless for 4 month of the year. Yeah they make some power during the winter but nothing noticeable.

Fitted 3 of these to my mother in law's house a few years back. 2 units have been replaced since. Not easy to seal on rustic bricks

Please don't shoot yourself in the face. Have you tried a g98 application? At least make use of some of the equipment.
