    The client is always right... after some advice.

    Hi all, I've only fairly recently made the jump to working for myself, coming from a past if commercial, industrial and occasional very high end residential. I find myself now in a different place picking up very typical domestic jobs. Recently I've been doing a partial rewire on a house for...

    The work always comes in doesn't it!

    Perhaps twice a year I get down to around 1 week of booked work and I get just a little jittery, not too much, just a little, but enough to make me start thinking about popping an ad in the local paper (if that is still a thing). Then, within a day or 2, or even a few hours, I have 2 or 3 large...

    Should a completion certificate always be given for works carried out please?

    Hi Everyone, I had a new consumer unit installed in December 2021, the electrician said that he had more testing to complete and would come back and said it could wait. My oven also began tripping on the same day, which he felt was a faulty oven. I asked to schedule for a few months and...

    Horstmann Economy 7 Quartz heater always 'on' - doesn't turn off according to pre-set times on clock

    Hi all, I have quite an old Horstmann Economy 7 Quartz water heating system in my flat (installed around 2007). It's been working fine until the last month, now the water heater always seems to be 'on'. The clock is set to the correct time, and even when it is the middle of the day when the...

    UK Upstairs light always on

    I was asked to help a friend who had an issue with a lighting circuit tripping the main switch. I found a burnt switch and faulty light. Circuit back on, all was good. As I always do I went round checking all room lights. Upstairs landing light had no bulb, got a bulb and put it in. It came on...

    The customer is always right. Oh....

    I wonder if anyone has some good stories of really easy call-outs made a lot more difficult by the customer's rather fixed views. Here is my starter for ten: A call out for a MCB for ring final circuit tripping. Customer had serious attitude, absolutely convinced it was the kettle causing it...

    Keeping a Battery Charger Always in an Electric Outlet

    I need to know whether a battery charger can be kept in an electric outlet all the time or whether it should be disconnected every time after a smartphone has been charged. It is not convenient for me to have to disconnect it from the electric outlet every time. Does a battery charger...

    Do Wago connectors always have to be in a box?

    I have a single socket sunk into a standard metal box in a plaster wall on a ring main. I want to put a radiator on that wall and use a blank cover on the front to close off the socket which will be behind the new radiator. I'll use Wago connectors on the old cable ends to ensure the ring...

    removing a light switch, making it always live (UK)

    I've replaced a light with a low energy LED bulb which is controlled wirelessly, and now want to remove the old switch so that it is always on, and I can then control it with the wireless switch. Can I just remove the switch and connect the L1 and common wires together? It's an old 1-way 1-gang...

    How do I change a switched plug to always hot?

    I am as newbe DIY as it gets when it comes to electrical work. Here is my issue at my home. I have a light switch which controls the recess lighting in the living room as well as all the plugs. A pretty poor design IMO especially since that room also acts as the TV/entertainment room. As of...

    Intermediate switch to fixed always on

    I have purchased a number of expensive copper dowsing&reynolds light switches which have been fitted by an electrician as part of a refurb project. I am not proposing to do this myself, but as previous advice on the forum has been very useful, so would like to know if this is possible before...

    Why are the contactors always closed/energized?

    I just installed a brand new 36 kw electric boiler. 240v, 3 ph, works good, more expensive to operate than I had hoped...regardless when the power/circuit breakers are on, the contactors energize/close always. Why? That makes no sense to me. What’s their purpose if always energized. Why not...
