    Aico vs FireAngel with app notifications

    I've previously installed Aico detectors and integrated them with a Texecom intruder alarm system via a relay base (Ei128R) for notifications through the Texecom app, an option to look into if you're just after notifications whether they've activated or not.

    Which M Class dust extractor

    I've got the Bosch, have used it regularly over the years with no issues whatsoever. Used it mainly coupled up with the Bosch wall chaser. Don't have anything to compare it to but I would highly recommend it, my only gripe (if I'm being very picky) would be that it takes up quite a bit of space...

    Niceic assessment

    I had the exact same scenario that happened to me on my second AC visit (finished about 12.30), was completely unaware I'd be getting charged extra until I received the letter through the post, phoned them up and had a moan but had to pay in the end... Was agreed after with my assessor that a...

    Nest learning thermostat

    A lot of the pre plumbed unvented cylinders come with a similar wiring centre stuck to it, I'm actually at a job tomorrow I've done recently with the same set up - if I remember will take a picture of the wiring centre. I didn't need to do a separate enclosure, just literally a 4/5 core from the...

    Domestic fuse boards

    Contactum for me, solidly built at a budget price. Have fitted the RCBO boards for years without any issues - SPD kit is also under £40.

    Alarm/cctv

    I've always installed Texecom Premier Elite panels and would highly recommend them. Cant go wrong with Hikvision cameras either, haven't installed any 8MP cameras but can vouch for their 5MP ones and they're brilliant. I get my CCTV gear through Mast Digital - be worth giving them a call as...

    Replacing Orluna lights for GU10 fittings

    Haven't used those fittings before but they may not be the friendliest of connections for them, I'd recommend these fittings below which are a good price - just remember you'll need IP rated bezels for any lights within bathrooms...

    Which Triple Pole ladders

    I've got a set of the triple "Lyte" ladders from Screwfix many years ago, are light enough to move around easily and solid enough when they're fully extended (not bouncing around whilst going up them!).

    Multifunctional Testers - Which one have you got and how long has it lasted?

    Megger 1720 since 2014 - hasn't skipped a beat!

    New MFT Required....but which one?

    I've had a Megger 1720 for a number of years now and would highly recommend!

    Veto Pro Pac...... yes or no?

    Like others went through a CK technicians bag yearly, gave the Veto Tech LC a go and haven't looked back - couldn't recommend one more! Have had it about 4 years now and in very good condition still, having one of their TP4's (tool pouch) is also so handy when working carrying hand tools.

    Only 2 brands for domestic type A rcd/rcbo + type 2 spd in board??

    Lewden and "Fusebox" offer A type RCBO's also, would imagine they have an type 2 SPD also (I haven't installed either unfortunately).

    Faulty Aqualisa shower

    Not personally my shower, but both incidents were to do with the controls within the shower not working. Haven't heard anything back from either client so assume all is well!
