I was installing storage heaters for over a year and used both the Elnur Gabbaron and Dimplex quantum. The Elnur are more high maintenance with settings each heater had its own dedicated supply off peak and the on peak we would use fused spur although need to be careful as the large ones have a...
Wow! You would have to rip it out and start again be difficult fault finding on that one 4 x motorised valves on there must be a complex one to sort out not for the faint hearted that one ?
Yes I found that hidden underneath a floorboard it is a s plan heating system with solar panels integrated the builder carrying out a loft conversion discovered it and rung me. There’s more than that junction boxes galore sockets lights jointed together I’ve done loads of work there recently...
It seemed like a modern question not one before the 80’s with a badge. My old man used to remove asbestos as if it was nothing and fortunately is not one of the unlucky ones and he is fit and healthy but my point is any current tradesman should not play down the risks of asbestos.
Yes you’re right and I’m constantly coding C3 for undersized meter tails. Just out of curiosity what do you code 6mm twin and earth with 10/15 mtr run to shower with power consumption of 9kw with thermal effects at pullcord? (Melted)
Yes, also you said it was possibly 100A cut out fuse should be 25mm tails not 16mm twin and earth easiest solution is to install kmf with 60a fuse and cowl to cover the basic insulation which is supplied with kmf
Absolutely ridiculous you shouldn’t be posting on here questioning if it’s asbestos surely you have undertaken the courses to gain the knowledge and understanding of asbestos? Shame on you if you havnt. Did you know that sparkies are the ones who are the highest percentage of deaths though...
Normally it’s 1.7N isn’t it? Only 2.1 or higher for main switch you don’t need torque settings to know the correct torque I don’t think aslong as you understand the recommendations

Difficult area but again like I said it all boils down to experience and knowledge
Ok so you’re under the category of experienced but I’m sure you agree with the fact that it’s more sensible to hand tighten terminations so you can feel the tension

Good man stick to the hand tools once mounted ?
I suppose if you have an understanding of power tools then it’s fine one of my best mates does it with impact and I cringe every time I see/hear him at the consumer but to be fair he understands the torque it’s the ones who don’t have knowledge/experience that cause the problems anyhow I don’t...
Exactly I’m normally a calm guy but some of the boards I’ve had to test recently really wind me up. And I never had a problem 7 years ago it’s only the recently installed boards which seem to be glued shut
Yesssss!!! Same here I’m testing a lot and the amount of terminals which are rounded, tightened by Arnold Schwarzenegger is unbelievable even the fuse board covers grips my ---- use your hand tools so you can feel the tension simple

Another pet hate is the earths twisted together in...
Spot on in my opinion that’s what I do. I don’t charge full whack to do an EICR and then say you need your consumer unit changed and then charge for that. In some cases you already know after visually inspecting property and board cover off that it needs upgrading. So I would do a small fee for...
