Hi guys,
I've gotten AI to write up a terms and conditions for my company and then went through it with AI and tweaked it to make it sound a little more human and less robotic lol. I've tried to keep it as clear and concise as possible to avoid any problems with clients that aren't the best at...

There was a thread recently on AFDD's, I was fairly surprised quite a few people were against a scheme providers suggestion to get written confirmation from a client they did not want one fitting.
Personally for everything but the smallest of jobs I provide a full T&C's document, it covers any...
Hi all, I’ve just wired an alarm system for my house but don’t have a clue which alarm system to fit in terms of brand. Need some recommendations please?

Looks like we are no longer allowed to post pics from the regs as they are not copyright to us and are not our own work.
No more posting 'safe zones' or anything else.
I presume the same is for quoting the regs?
I was at my folks house yesterday and when I went to the toilet I noticed whoever has installed the electric shower (it's been there a good 10 years) fed the cable down the wall in trunking. The shower is slightly offset to the bath so I guess it would sit on the outside of the shower curtain...

Evening all,
Does anyone around has a list of common electrician terms when it comes to installation. I am an adult learner and I was always stock when my mentor talk to me in short or abbreviation term, e.g IMO, DB. etc. It would be a big help if anyone can share some for me.
thank you all...
Hi all,
