Thanks for that, great advice.

Thanks for the replies. Might just start applying for various roles and see what happens.  I think I'd have a steady supply of work via a friends bathroom company, just don't know if it would be enough if nothing else came in

I've considered going self employed but I'm always apprehensive of taking the plunge.  I keep looking at more maintenance type roles and also some design/engineer roles. Only problem is lots of these jobs want experience on certain systems or qualifications to HNC/HND level. In hindsight I...

Hi Firstly I work for contractor on new build houses and I want out. I'm 36, been at the same company since I left school. Ideally I want to be off building sites in the next few years. Not entirely sure what to do.  With the type of job I've done, I'm not exactly blessed with a varied amount...

In all honesty I've probably confused myself by googling too much. Think I just needed somebody else to tell me what I already knew.

Hi I've been asked to look at a job last minute. It involves a 3 phase supply and I cant for the life of me get my head around the calcs. (not really worked anything out 3 phase for a good few years) Only info to go off at the min is a 22KW Chicken Rotisserie. Run is approx 20M clipped direct...

It's my impression that the control boards may be knackered but from what I have been told it's affecting all three manifolds allthough I haven't had chance to get there yet and inspect. I can't see how it'd be a wiring problem as surely the boiler wouldn't fire or there would be issues with...

HELP PLEASE. Despite this system apparantley working for the last 4 months a small problem has arisen. I've been told that when 1 stat on any particular zone reaches temperature that it is automatically turning off the other zones on that manifold. Is there a way round this or is a potential...

It worked, don't really know how but it works. I just have 1 more manifold to connect up but I'm a little bit confused with it. The 3rd manifold only controls 1 zone so there is only the master control and no slave. Although there is only 1 zone it is quite large and therefore there are 5...

I assume all the correct materials have been used. I wasn't involved in any of the initial process of picking this system, it was just put on me. The job is a re-wire/extension. Each zone has its own stat, wired. There are 8 zones in total. 2 manifolds control 3 zones each the other controls 2...

Apologies for posting in 2 seperate places just wasn't sure where it was best suited. It won't happen again. Thanks for the replies.

I can't find the make of programmer but I should be ok with that. I just need to connect that wire to my supply for each zone master, which there are 3 of. The zone valve is a honeywell V4044F1000. Below is a link to the brochure and if you go to page 42 is the drawing that I have...

Afternoon all. Does anybody have an experience with this as I'm a little bit lost with it. The heating/hot water system is as follows. There are 3 zones, downstairs, which is all under floor heating. Upstairs heating and hot water. I have the upstairs and hot water working it's the under floor...

Hi, Ive stumbled across this forum asking questions elsewhere. I'm a qualified electrician to 16th and and in these hard times was looking at improving my cv. I've been looking at doing the 2391 and was wondering the best way to go about it? I've seen courses spread over 12-15 weeks, 1 night a...
