    lighting circuits - just for lights????

    No, My idea would be to have a fused spur off of the ring. but this would be a bit more work as the client ideally wants the unit just below the light switch. Hence why I thought some views from others might be useful. I haven't refused to do anything either, it's just a job that is coming up...

    lighting circuits - just for lights????

    On a domestic lighting circuit it is not uncommon to find an extractor fan, shaver point sometimes a smoke alarm or even a doorbell transformer. Just wondered what peoples' views on this is. It's the norm for extractors and shavers I know, but they are not lights so should the CU be labelled...

    Ongoing storage heater problems - some help would be much appreciated.

    Yes, but I had already tested that the faulty stat was working when I fitted it, like you, from the double pole switch. The heater was getting slightly warm but not as hot as might be expected from the setting of the input. So, I can only assume that it was just switching off at a lower...

    Ongoing storage heater problems - some help would be much appreciated.

    Quick Update: the problem turned out to be the thermostat that I replaced happened to be faulty. I had completely run out of ideas, tenant not happy, landlord not happy, me not happy. Was ready to throw in the towel, but thought I would change the stat again, NOW it works. Fancy that... faulty...

    Ongoing storage heater problems - some help would be much appreciated.

    Might end up doing this. I will price it up for the landlord and let him choose between doing that and more visits from me and more replacement parts. This job has been bloody annoying to say the least.

    Ongoing storage heater problems - some help would be much appreciated.

    The accelerator I think is some kind of resistor and sits behind the control knobs usually an inch or two away. Never been quite sure what it does LOL!

    Ongoing storage heater problems - some help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks Dcf, Yes I will try that. When you say 'flash', I take it you mean a small flash when you turn the stat on, as it contacts? What do you think about the capilliary thing? thanks again

    Ongoing storage heater problems - some help would be much appreciated.

    Ok thanks, The existing one isn't touching any bricks or hotspots, so replacing that could be the next step. I did wonder whether it might be worth replacing the accelerator unit too, but not sure if these go wrong either. I've been fiddling with storage heaters for years and it's usually...

    Ongoing storage heater problems - some help would be much appreciated.

    hi hants-spark and thanks. No I didn't change the capilliary. Do these go wrong and sometimes cause a problem?

    Ongoing storage heater problems - some help would be much appreciated.

    Have an on going problem with a storage heater (Dimplex CXL24N). I've been out to look at it 3 times now and the occupier says that it still isn't working properly. I was originally called out to it because it didn't work. The thermal reset had gone (not uncommon) and the thermostat did not...

    Recommendations for T4 under unit lighting

    Hey folks, Just wondered if anyone can recommend some decent quality t4 under unit lights? I installed 8 on one job last year and 4 of those have failed within 6 months and melted the plastic diffuser at the ends - not good. I kicked up a massive fuss with the wholsaler over it. I've takern the...

    Been offered a networking job, not sure whether to go for it.

    Hey thanks for the other replies. I've turned down the job. If I had a bit more time I probably would've worked something out. It needs doing in the next 2 - 3 weeks and I'm already stacked up workwise. I'm going to look into educating myself on this, possibly a course if I can find one locally...

    Been offered a networking job, not sure whether to go for it.

    Thanks, that's really encouraging. I will have chat with them tomorrow. Either way, I think I will look into doing a networking course, in case this comes up again. Would be a nice change from normal sparkying. There's obviously some specialist knowledge required, because when you say...

    Been offered a networking job, not sure whether to go for it.

    Thanks Phil. Sorry forgot to mention, it's in Essex. Not sure if i'll take the job yet, as I don't want to take on something that I can't handle and end up looking like a fool in front of a customer, who is up until now, happy with my work. cheers

    Been offered a networking job, not sure whether to go for it.

    Hi IT SPARKY, Thanks for replying. They have asked me if I would be interested in the whole job, structured cabling, supplying and installing comms cabinets, patch panels, switches etc. But I'll put my hands up and say I haven't got a clue in this field. I do general electrical work, domestic...

    Been offered a networking job, not sure whether to go for it.

    Hi Folks, I've been offered a job installing some network equipment for a client of mine. I look after their electrical requirements generally but have not much experience in networking. They have a couple of offices and a couple of shops and they want to hook them all up as an internal phone...
