I'm thinking about finding a way to get electronic money from customers on site, rather than cheques (these are getting more redundant evey day)
or cash (customers never have enough of this, do they? And HMRC are looking at YOU!)
I'm often get funds transfers direct into my bank account or via...
Just got back from a customer who has asked me to quote for rectifying some issues brought to light during a recent inspection. The customer came to me because the previous spark had let him down and failed to turn up when supposed to on four different occasions.
Turns out this NIC 'approved'...
I know I shouldn't be like this but don't some of them just wind you up? The ones who moan and groan at the price but pay hundreds some pot for the garden.
The ones who want a light by here and a switch over by here, but have just wallpapered the room so you have to magic the cables in.

Spoke to a chap today who lives in a council house and was offered free solar, (i know the installs are far from the best) and he said he did not want it as it does not work, also offered an ASHP, and did not want that either... I was shocked..
If it is a council house you do not have the...
I've had a particularly busy and tough week - not bad, as all the jobs pretty much went to plan.
The icing on the cake has been 2 customers who have rung to say how pleased they are with my work.
Yes, I'm blowing my own trumpet, but at times like these when its tough out there its really good...

Having read other posts about peoples’ opinion of REAL, here is the experience of a customer.
After trying unsuccessfully for over a month to get the installer to come and investigate issues with our PV installation, I finally resorted to the comfort and assurance we, as customers, are...
took this in back of a sarnie shop, only reason im been called in is because the stainless splash back is been replaced by a full height one and she asked me to re-route the plastic conduit they were unaware it was doing any damage to the conduit DOH!
There seems to be some misinformation in the mainstream media that the post cut tariff is no more or not worth considering. The truth is that returns are in the 10-12% region in the south of the UK and as good as they were for most of last year:
Half price solar provides similar rates of return...

You have just got to wonder how often the main cut out fuse will blow in the future if everything in the house is turned on
Is there any requirement within the code of practice to have the current FIT rates rather than the old 41.3p rate? Seems there are some websites that still list the old rate giving an unrealistic comparison.
Now the new rate is "agreed" I would most bona fide companies would expect webpages to...

SSE has lost an appeal into a conviction for tricking potential customers into switching from their existing energy firm.
SSE's sales agents had used misleading sales scripts when talking to people on their doorsteps, between September 2008 and July 2009.
SSE said it was "disappointed" with...

Hi.
Just been to a customers house which has just had a new water tank fitted by a plumber.
The customer would like me to re connect up his immersion heater as the plumber wouldn't do it. (clever plumber)!
During the quotation i noticed that the old immersion heater was on a 13 amp plug to a...

Cant believe it one of my customers has contacted me in a state of shock after submitting his EON fit on Friday, EON has come back to him to say they are only excepting EON FIT applications from existing EON customers.
I guess there is time for my customer to reapply but with the deadline...

Gutted. Arranging to have a scaffold erected on a customers house and he informed me that he had changed his mind - with one day to go!
We hadn't signed contracts - unfortunately time constraints mean that I can't visit every site to sign contracts at the moment (stupid, I know).
