[QUOTE="dave2, post: 298538, member: 330"] Last week prepared electrics for electric underfloor heating mat in a bathroom with draw cord ready for tiler to pull power and thermostat cable through. Tiler completed the work last week so today I went to connect up and get things going. Had my suspicions but sure enough all cables in back box ready for test and connect. E-E resistance test ok and Rins >499. Set the programmer and due to begin heating at 1700hrs. Job done and day finished! Got a call at 1710 from customer saying all electrics are off and won't reset. Oh and there's also a burning smell! Straight back out to see what's going on. Isolated the heating mat and electric back on. The problem: Tiler had a couple of meters of mat spare so he rolled it up and stuffed it under the bath . Customer went barmy when I told him the whole lot had to be lifted and a new mat the correct size purchased. [/QUOTE]
