Looking through the fire-rated downlights out there on the market, Integral Evofire claims its canless design would let the heat off and hence optimize lamp performance and life. On the other hand, the JCC Fireguard, albeit also rated for LEDs only, ironically, still comes with a matt black...

I currently have a home with 7 interconnected, hard-wired smoke detectors. I have a hard-wired heat alarm in the garage that I need to have interconnected to the rest of the system, per local regulations. My solar installer added the heat sensor but does not seem to know how to handle the...
Seriously just wanting to have a discussion on this huge issue.
Clearly, there are not enough competent installers of heat pumps, so we may see some scheme whereby one can get "qualified" in a short time.
I have views on this, and I have views on everything the documentary covered, but my...

Hello,
I am in the process of conducting an investigation on a heat trace that was found on fire.
The jacket around the wires could have been damaged from the installation of a regulator that was replaced prior, but I can not 100% confirm the damage since it burned in the process. The...

Hi.
I'm on my way to remove a faulty one of these. A 'heat saver' device fitted to a boiler. I haven't seen it yet but it seems to be a relay connected to a boiler thermostat.
Has anyone seen these before? I'm guessing I can remove it all and just hard wire the system so it doesn't interfere...
I need to connect an infrared panel to the ceiling. The panel comes with a pre-wired 13amp plug, but it needs to connect to the supply left in the ceiling by my spark. Does anyone know of a quick release connector that is also heat resistant.

Hope I have got the correct forum!

The issue I have in my own home is as follows.
Log fired burner in kitchen supplies hot water and heating via a thermal bank / store. Approx 2kw to the room and 9kw to the water.
If we want the heating on then this is on, combined with all the...
When a new heat pump is installed in an existing residential house. Does it have to be on a separate circuit with new mcb, according to recent regulations ASNZS 3000:2018.
What about RCD as well.
Hi, I’m just wondering has anyone on here any experience with a Mitsubishi Ecodan R32 model.
I’ve completed all the wiring expect for terminating two motorised valves. I cannot find a manual stating what terminals they go into. Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks
I am about to quote to install this HRU. Having never fitted one before I had a few questions?
1. How long roughly does it take to install? The 162mm diameter hole will already have been drilled. There is a socket very close by and it will be in trunking, so easy. It's more the length of time...
