Hello.. What tests are needed to be carried out on a alarm system, for it to meet the standard of DD263:2010 and how are the tests done and what measurements should you be looking for does anybody know? Thanks.
Had a call from one of our customers asking if we did ashp servicing. They had been quoted £400 from their installer for an annual service and replacement of refrigerant. This negates all savings made from having the ashp - it seemed a bit steep to me - does anyone else know what it should be...
Hi all
I was just wondering how someone with construction experience like myself (only 2 years so far) could get into the maintenance side of electrical work. I was told at college to do the full course for eg level 2 & 3, 17th edition etc as this would equip you with enough knowledge to do...

Morning all
Went into my suppliers to pick up some Hager MF JBs the other day, (which I've used a few times but a bit pricey), to be told that they only had one in stock, when I asked why, he said because they don't hardly shift any, so I asked what other sparks are using as MF he just shrugged...
Hi everyone
I am doing the above course in a couple of weeks. Can you advise me what books or study material I can go through before the course? If anyone knows of a website or has any notes I can use - would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
I have decided to start looking for a new job in the electrical sector, been looking about and there seems to be some interesting jobs such as working on railways or working on the new 4g systems and hv on pilons, but it always seems they want previous experience. For example the railways want a...

Does anyone offer maintenance contracts on larger installs?
If so, what kind of services do you provide? Is it an annual visit? How much do you charge?
It seems a little unnecessary to me but some firms seem to like it.
I have been asked to quote to maintain a offices electrics and pat test. The thing is what to charge?
the office is basically a large detached house converted to an office, cat2 lighting ect.
could somebody please advise?
Just a quick one guys. Just wanted to clarify something which I've heard many opinions on... Is it acceptable to have a junction box under floorboards?
Just doing a lighting rewire and several lights are of the kind without the loop-in/out/switch terminals, just the line, neutral, earth...
This might not be the right place to ask really... but here goes.
As I understand it, vented car batteries give off hydrogen when charging, and a nasty acid mist. I.e. DO NOT CHARGE INDOORS!
Looking at what's currently available, I see items labelled as "maintenance-free", which I understand...
