Hi all, been a while since my last post:(. I've installed 8 6w LED down lights in soffits controlled by an internal switch. The customer wants the lights to be activated via a timer switch but I cant seem to locate one anywhere that's suitable for the low wattage of the lamps. I have dropped a 3...

I had a similar problem last week. I was asked to do a simple light fitting change like for like, easy job which I fitted in on my way home. Once I took the fitting down I was left staring at cpc on the switch cable as the switch line :-(. Went to the switch to confirm the find. I tested...

Got a peougeot partner, trip computer stays around 42mpg when driving sensible. Got a vivaro on order and I've been told they are juicy :-(, I'll be interested if any forum members could clear that one up for me.

Got mine today (elecsa)

Hi all, hope everyones enjoying the Easter break. Just a quick one regarding buying solar pv items from wholesalers. Am I right in thinking that it's only 5% vat and not the usual 20%? I think it is but I want to make sure before I bodge the quote lol Thanks fellas.

Hi steps. I have quoted a couple of potential jobs with my own generation calculations but I'm not sure if the mcs guy wants to see it done through a piece of software. I have had a play around with saps and that seems easy enough. Im trying to cover every base because the paperwork side is mind...

Hi people, hope all is well. I'm currently working my way through the endless amounts of documents, procedures and forms for my mcs accreditation with napit. I was just wondering what sites or software is best for working out the calcs? Is there a certain piece of software they prefer?

Got 1 callout at the weekend and it's only been setup a week. The good thing about it is that it's free of charge and can be linked to websites and other social networks i.e twitter. I was a bit worried about people having access to my personal fb account through the buisness page but it's...

It's not another account as such it's a business page for which your the admin. It's like setting up a group but instead it's your company page which you can post promotions, pictures etc. I have set the security settings so that friends can see my personal profile but anyone else can't. All...

I have a personal account on fb but I have also set up a buisness page too. The business page is open to anybody but they can't access my personal account. It's a good idea to have links from your website to your buisness page on fb and twitter because I believe it helps with google ratings etc.

I have been doing alot of research on this matter and it does look like there is a big demand at the moment. I'm booked in to do the installation course at the end of the month then got a job lined up for my napit mcs inspection. I have been chatting to a fella I met that does pv only and going...

If you live 5 mins from the tunnel I assume you will fall under the residents discount. Only bad thing is you can't use the discount if your in a van headbang Where in Kent are you and I'll find out if you qualify, I'll also give you a contact name and number for my ex and she will set the...

Stop the debate, IT'S THE PUMP!. Programmer is ancient but working perfectly. I went straight to the pump as suggested, disconnected then tried the programmer again. No trip this time. He did say before he had a rcd cu installed he had to whack the pump with a lump of timber to get it going lol.

My ex works in the dart tag department mate. I have a dart tag and wouldent be without it. I live in grays and fall under the local residents scheme so I pay 20p a crossing in my car. Also with a dart tag you get monthly statements to your email address with all the info u need to claim. Any...

Thanks for your response lads I'm off to look at it now. Thanks to the advice given I'll hopefully be able to sort it or locate the issue quicker which leaves me some catchup and beer time.

I'm as much in the dark as you until I get there mate lol. He said all power tripping so it must be rcd and only happening when the heating side is activated and not the hot water. Good call about the pumps, valves etc. I'll look at the programmer and all connections then slowly work my way...

Got to pop out in a bit to a friends house because he is having some problems. All I have been told is everytime he turns the heating on from the programmer all power is tripping. Apparently he has hot water but no heating. I haven't done a massive amount of work on heating systems and I'm sure...
