    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...

    Switch doesn't turn on chandelier

    Hi guys. I will start by apologizing for the elementary question. I'm sure you get them often. The chandelier is in a hallway controlled by a switch. There is another light source in that same hallway but separately controlled by a pull chain bulb (still works). (in case it is important)...

    Why doesn't my Security Light work?

    I have a Security Light on my patio and until recently it worked fine. It stopped working and I couldn't decide if it was the LED Floodlight or the separate PIR that had stopped working so I replaced both. I checked them out first, connected them up and they work fine on my workbench, but then I...

    GFCI light pulses yellow under power draw from bidet seat but doesn't trip

    GFCI green light is lit when not under power draw. The bidet seat functioning causes light to pulse yellow (and creates a pulsing and knocking noise) but switch does not trip off. Green light returns when power is not drawn. The bidet seat is fully functioning and draws power normally when...

    This doesn't seem up to code / safe (small gauge wire to 100 amp breaker in an outbuilding)

    Last year we purchased a home that was built in the late 1990s It has one outbuilding, sort of a barn/shed about 160 feet from the house (and probably closer to 280' from the utility connection on the far side of the home), which has a breaker box in it supplying three 20A circuits (lights on...

    If a type B MCB doesn't trip unless 5x nominal rating is hit, what's to stop the cable burning up?

    Just reading through my Student's Guide and wondering about nominal amperage. If guaranteed trip is 5x nominal amperage, what's to stop 2.5mm cable on a 20a radial circuit from running at 70a or something and completely destroying the cable/potentially your house?

    Hi I have installed a new ceiling lights switch but it doesn't work

    DIY ENTHUSIAST NEW FORUM MEMBER. I took a photograph of the old wiring set up( which was working) and used it as a guide for wiring the new one. The lights themselves are housed in the loft above and I was wondering if a fuse has blown in the plug or that there is a reboot button somewhere.

    Off-peak heater doesn't work

    Hi, My flat uses an Economy 7 tariff. When I use the boost heater, it works fine. But the off-peak water heater doesn't heat up the water overnight. The bottom element on the tank connects the off-peak switch and I've tested there is no electricity in this wire during the night. I'm not sure...
