Guys, I'm looking to leave BT after 9 years. I completed a 3 year apprenticeship before moving in to the planning office to perform the role of electrical designer, and as result I have limited practical experience. Please suggest what courses will benefit me to improve my employability when...
Good evening
I just want to garner experienced people's opinion on whether it's worth changing my Halogen kitchen downlighters to LED lamps? I currently have 20 MR16 50W Halogen downlighters in my kitchen, obviously consuming quite a bit of energy. As each lamp blows, I'm looking at replacing it...
Looking to make some tool purchases this year...though not decided whether to go for standard 230V or go 110V and transformer.
Leaning towards 230 due to not having to lug a transformer around, however then theres the argument "certain people" put forward that 230 looks "diyer"....
I don't do...
I know this question has popped up regularly but I thought I'd check again.
I'm looking at adding more services to our company as I'm most companies are that wish to still compete in the market. One thing I'm looking at is Solar Thermal. I am looking at getting training as I'm occasionally...

As above really, What are you guys using to protect your moby?

I'm an electrician and have fitted loads of PV systems up to 4 Kw with a company I used to work for. I m looking at doing PV now I'm self employed but is there still money to be made at it, enough to warrant spending the money on PV test kit and MCS ? The other thing is what do I need to get...
Hi,
I have two quotes one for 11 panels (in a 8 / 3 configuration - a samil inverter on the 8 panels and a soladin inverter for the 3 panels) and then a quote for 12 panels ( 8 / 4 configuration with a samil inverter again on the 8 and 4 micro inverters on the 4) difference in the 2 quotes is...
Hi all
I'm going to be developing / building a couple of properties next year and want to do the wiring myself. I have several years experience on site (albeit a long time ago) and fairly recent C&G 2382 and C&G 2392. I have the correct test equipment (properly calibrated) and am competent in...
Hi,
My solar installation comes with a GEO Solo PV and the cost being £90, But I have been offered an upgrade.
The upgrade is an additional £90 and this is for a GEO Chorus PV energy meter.
Is this a worthwhile piece of kit, I cannot find any reviews of either kit.
cheers,
I'm just looking at potentially setting up on my own and I need to register for part p, now I think im going with niceic ( I know this could be a contentious issue!).
my question is... Is it it worth going for 'approved contractor' status or just stick with domestic installer subs?? From what i...
Having been doing this job for 13 years and having ups and downs with my company I just can't be bothered with the new builds now that don't pay cause there's too many sparks willing to work for nothing just to get the job. We are wiring boilers now and it pays more than a new build project...
Never had a small battery driver before (just use my Bosch combi for heavy use, and my trusty Wera "manually operated" drivers for everything else!) but was doing a bit of work for a friend at the weekend and they had a Bosch (green) 3.6v li-on driver sitting around so thought I'd try it. Was...
Firstly I'd like to say a quick hello as im a new user to this forum.

I've got the obvious bits available and determined a good south facing location in an area with...
ALDI are currently selling a set of three 1m SDS drill bits, 12mm 16mm and 24mm for £10. Not something I would expect to use much and not something I would expect to be great quality, but for that price I think worth having in stock.
