    HI Guys, Hopefully someone here might be able to offer a plausible answer to my question because my electricity provider certainly can't. I had a smart meter installed last March. Analysis of the data shows that we are using, on average, virtually the same number of units between 00:00 and...

    Multiple lights went out at same time. Supply issue?

    I have had no issues until this week. The lighting in my basement all has gone out. This includes my laundry room, basement game room, and the bathroom. I thought that it was just a blown fuse but no fuses were tripped. I checked switches and bulbs and ruled those out. I still have power in...

    Photocell and time clock on same circuit

    Hi all, As per title, I seem to see this quite a lot especially in new builds where a time clock and photocell are both wired intro the same circuit for communal lights. What is the logic behind this ? Surely it’s better to have just one or the other, as the photocell will not operate the...

    1970’s semi. Bathroom regs at the time.

    I’m not doing an EICR or anything… just curious. Was doing some work in my parents house, and I was remembering how it was back when I was a kid. It was built in 1974… same age as me…. I don’t know what regs were in force at the time. The original layout of the bathroom, only big enough for a...

    Batteries go into standby for periods of time

    Hi all I've noticed on my Inverter graphs that, for random periods, the battery stops charging or discharging for 20-60+ mins. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it. Battery will be 55-65% so plenty of room for charging and discharging. It fixes itself in time but it's quite frustrating...

    NICEIC Certification Scheme NICEIC Complaint? Waste of time.

    Honestly... I speechless at this story. The NICEIC have just washed their hands of a valid complaint. Ever heard of a new build property with 7x C2's, 5x C3's and 6x FI's? I own one. 2x electricians (both Napit and NICEIC) said major problems including C2's. EICR produced with pictures -...

    Seem to find time wasters

    Hi all, I’ve not long started out on my own, and so because of this I try to keep my quotes down to generate business to start, but I seem to spend half my time giving out estimations to people and that’s the end of it. I seem to only find tire kickers. I know my prices are on the lower side...
