    specify an appropriate wiring system for the luminaires in the main workshop, giving three reasons for your choice. thanks

    EICR test failed due to no RCD on smoke detector, lighting, door bell, security alarm

    The report is not worth the paper it's written on I'm afraid. It's unlikely that any tests were performed at all if they were in and out in 10 minutes, so fairly likely not one of those readings is correct. I think a lot of us here could put together a more believable certificate sitting in our...

    EICR test failed due to no RCD on smoke detector, lighting, door bell, security alarm

    Oh no, that's totally unprofessional. It can be useful to know how the property is used/likely to be used when recommending improvements, etc. So a few immediate issues: Overcurrent protective devices are marked as 61009 when they should be 60898. RCD marked down for circuits 1-4 which isn't...

    EICR test failed due to no RCD on smoke detector, lighting, door bell, security alarm

    That is an absolute shambles. For what it's worth I wouldn't say asking if the flat is likely to be rented out, etc is a totally irrelevant question. Agree with the others, based off the information we have - nothing more than a couple of C3s by the look if it. Any chance you could upload the...

    UK CF20/CF20TX - Fan Replacement

    I've been asked to replace an Xpelair CF20 extractor fan which has been recessed into the ceiling. I've had a rummage and managed to find a CF20TX in my store. Seems to be very similar looking albeit with rounder corners. Does anyone know if it can be used as a direct replacement or will I be...

    Heat pump controls

    The microswitch is volt free. If you were to permanent live the greys like a normal S plan, you'd fire 230v down the oranges and blow something on the PCB in the heat pump. The heat pump will be sending out a small amount of voltage through to your greys which it'll receive back via the oranges...

    S-Plan central heating - bypass microswitch?

    If you bypass the microswitches you'd need to incorporate a couple of contactors or relays to avoid each zone back feeding each other. The microswitches stop this as well as only firing the boiler/pump when the valve is open. A different solution would be to switch out the brand of valves to...

    Economy 7 confusion

    That Newlec timer/switch will need to be left switched to "timed" for the offpeak to work - also worth checking the times it's set to actually line up with your offpeak tariff. The boost button utilises the 24 hour supply to boost the heat if you were to run out of hot water, typically limited...

    Hot water direct to solar panels

    They said they've already got PV. Eddi, Immersun, Solar iBoost all do immersion controllers. If thinking of an EV charger in the future then Eddi is already setup to work alongside the Zappi, etc. Had a client in the past with an Immersun and an EV Charger (can't remember brand but it was...

    My favourite ! half moon plaster up light

    https://www.editlighting.com/edit-ealing-ceramic-wall-light.html These you can just hang off of two fixings. The up/down ones are better, you wire up the lampholder part and the plaster part just slots over the top. https://www.editlighting.com/edit-bexley-up-down-plaster-wall-light.html

    Smoke detector with separate backup batteries?

    I've read through that article a few times before. I'd argue that that entire section (particularly the final sentence) kind of leaves it open for interpretation that they're referring to the battery powered only detectors. We've only been fitting the 3016's since the introduction of the...

    Smoke detector with separate backup batteries?

    Have you a source for that? Everything I've read stipulates the battery must be sealed/tamper proof if the detector is battery powered only.
