pir`s to be done away with

Ah, so surge protection now then.

It's all very well adding safety features but it's getting really difficult to convince customers that we're not just ripping people off nowadays. £100 doesn't sound much until the next guy gets the job 'cos he's cheaper.

What's coming up in 2011 and 2012 then? Lightening protection for all homes, RCBOs on all circuits, mandatory solar panels, dropping of 10 year domestic checks? Let's start a book on it!

I'm going into dentistry sick of forking out for books, courses, fees etc. Spent 12 minutes in the chair last week and paid £35 for the priviledge, thats about £200 per hour. Only need a dremel and a few chisels, some good pliers and molegrips. cant be that hard pulling teeth out can it? And its clean and your sat down all day as well.

Exactly what do they mean by surge protection and where will it go,in each circuit, at the origin of supply, after the main protection device, and if surge is expected to be a problem then is that not the suppliers problem should they not fit a magic doowhizz to the tranny down the steet, ! seriously though where will it end

Phill I just had a quick read through of the same typical fog as usuall with no clear statement of intent
I think they are throwing a line in the water to see what jumps but it will most likely come about in one form or other

It will still be a PIR but with a different name
