    CPC break - share another?

    Hi! DIYer here. I have an MCB running to a cooker isolator switch. The RCD connected to this set of MCBs is tripping and isolating the cooker MCB is the only way to stop it. So, clearly a fault on this line. I‘ve disconnected the cooker and the same fault exists. I’ve tested the cable for...

    Dehumidifier trips breakers on one panel but not another

    Hi everyone. I have a basement that was finished years ago. The basement is on a separate panel than the rest of the house. For years I've had several dehumidifiers die various deaths in my basement. I thought it was just bad luck, but now I'm not so sure. My latest dehumidifier started tripping...

    I'm looking to replace old 2 gang switch for a new one. 2 separate lights and one is also controlled by another switch. Old has 4 wire holes including loop? New is what I'm used to seeing. Any ideas on how to wire up?

    Another scam phone call

    I've just spent 10 minutes on the phone talking to an Asian chap who says I'm registered with his company and my registration needs renewing. What does his company do? They block spam phone calls 🤣 He didn't know my name, who I get my phone through or where I live. I love spam calls. I love...

    The next instalment of the chicken and egg mystery

    You might remember this delight from the dodgy trade pictures thread.... I finally got back to quote for sorting today. The chicken and egg question was whether the plumber or the sparks did this. The confusion was there were no fixing holes visible from a previous position. Yet the water pipe...

    How to supply a garage with 32 Amps for a car charger and another 32 Amps for sockets?

    Currently, I have a side garage port (with a garage door, but open on the garden side) supplied by a 2.5mm2 radial circuit. The plan is to convert the port to a proper garage next year. As the bedrooms are currently under refurbishment and the floorboards easily accessible, I would like to make...

    Passing another circuit through back box

    Had a bit of a ‘discussion’ today with another electrician. Basically found a light switch in which the radial cable for a socket directly below (but about 3ft lower) passed through. Other electrician said it was wrong and shouldn’t be done. My take was that it is, at best, a bit of bad...

    Another new trainee...

    should age be a factor? I've dabbled a little bit in the past but events took me elsewhere. Good to be back on track to finish off what I originally wanted to make a life out of.

    Probably another simple switch question

    I've got 4 different sets of fixtures between our dining room and kitchen: 1 set of can lights + 1 set of pendants in EACH room. I'd like each fixture group to have it's own dimmer switch, all in the same switch box. The source power comes in directly between the rooms with 12/3 nm cable (the...

    Another EICR coding question

    Yesterday's EICR. The cut out and meter are in a damp cellar, and are fixed to a chipboard board on the wall. The chipboard has slowly rotted over the years, you now can push a pencil through it in places. The rather rusty fixings have pulled through it, so the board and everything fixed to...
