Can anyone recommend a good central heating course ideally covering s and y plan, underfloor heating systems and maybe ground source???
By the way, has anyone done the NIC PV course? The lad I work for has just done it and said it was a total waste of time and money with roofers and kitchen...

Anyone in the Nottingham area interested in doing a commercial PIR in central NG1 area. I can’t do it so I said I’d try and find someone to do it for them, they have a fire inspection due at the end of August.

Does anyone have an opinion on the route to go for a 50kW system that either has 1 large central inverter or many smaller string inverters? My immediate thoughts are:
1. If some of the panels or inverters drop out then at least remaining parts of array will produce energy for a system that uses...

Does anyone know if G59 relays are absolutely mandatory for every system above 16A/phase? Someone has said that if you install a sunny tripower 10000TL you don't need to install a relay as it has the adequate G59 protection incorporated? I know this is a bit of a grey area but I'm hoping someone...

Does anyone know if any companies do wireless control of the valves in a Y plan system?
I have looked at the Honeywell solution using ST9420C as the controller but this is WIRED. The room stats (DT92E) are wireless to the controller though which is a start.
What I ideally want is a system...
