    Is work slower than normal?

    It's definitely quieter than it was. The coming recession is the obvious cause. I've still got enough and doing well, but I'm no longer turning down masses of work all the time. Various wholesalers seem to be constantly on the phone recently too. I'd not heard from them for years prior to a...

    Mental health in the electrical industry

    Sorry to hear that you lost your mum at such a young age. To clarify, I wasn’t suggesting that smoking was in any way a good idea/healthy. I refuse to even try it after seeing what a state it got some of my other family members into.

    Mental health in the electrical industry

    My great grandfather started smoking at the age of 10. Cigars/pipes mostly. Lasted until he was 98, smoking all that time. Took no nonsense that generation though. Born late 19th century. Expect 2 world wars will often do that to you. I sometimes wonder if he was as tough on the inside as on...

    How long roughly do these Heat recovery units (HRU) take to install?

    Probably very similar to installing an extractor with a similar size hole. Coring the hole will be the worst part probably.

    2919 EV course advice

    Ah so you need an nvq3 to enter the course. The course itself is not an nvq. That makes a little more sense. The amount of dreadful EV installs I’ve seen it needs clamping down on (although I doubt this will). All these firms that have sprung up specialising in EV. It reminds me of PV early...

    2919 EV course advice

    I don’t see why it would need to be its own NVQ. It’s pretty simple stuff.

    Scaffolding - what do you think

    Loading up that flat roof like that would worry me I have to admit. Don’t think I’ve ever seen it done like that before?

    ESQCR regs? On BS951 clamp

    Even if TT or PME were to be used then the old TN-S cable would still need the sheath bonding. Which again should be done by the DNO - not using a BS951 clamp imo.

    Reliable electric radiators

    I’ve used both Rointe and Haverland. Both are good imo.

    Boiler or stand alone radiators

    Gas still cheaper per kWh, but for how much longer depends on politics. Electric heating is more reliable, more efficient, cleaner, more responsive, cheaper to install and generally better in all/most ways than water based systems other than running costs. Historically gas has been 3-4 times...

    Is it worth paying to advertise (Sponsored ads)

    Next door is a load of turd. You get 3 million emails and notifications from them a day and nothing is even local. Miles away in my case.
