Half price solar provides similar rates of return...

Just been asked to look at wiring a kitchen and the list of appliance loads makes the mind boggle
You have just got to wonder how often the main cut out fuse will blow in the future if everything in the house is turned on
Is there any requirement within the code of practice to have the current FIT rates rather than the old 41.3p rate? Seems there are some websites that still list the old rate giving an unrealistic comparison.

Hi.
Just been to a customers house which has just had a new water tank fitted by a plumber.
The customer would like me to re connect up his immersion heater as the plumber wouldn't do it. (clever plumber)!

Cant believe it one of my customers has contacted me in a state of shock after submitting his EON fit on Friday, EON has come back to him to say they are only excepting EON FIT applications from existing EON customers.

We hadn't signed contracts - unfortunately time constraints mean that I can't visit every site to sign contracts at the moment (stupid, I know).
