    Can i install a new circuit or do minor works on a plastic consumer unit under the stairs which is the only escape route.

    I know it's only a C3 but I've been to quote jobs where previous electricians have told the client that they have to get it replaced to comply with current regulations which is false and basically scaring the client to get more work. I'm pretty sure that's not the case, as its only recommended...

    Requirements to Install EV Chargers

    I think this is the right place to post. Up until now I've steared clear of installing EV Chargers, mainly because as a Self Employed Sparky I've not been able to compete with the national companies. However I'm getting enquiries from my client base asking to install EV Chargers, so I'm going...

    Battery Self install of battery storage

    I’ve been doing a fair bit of research on adding battery to my own house… there has been mention of it on other threads, but I’ll start a new one just for this. Have been asking the “experts” in the local wholesalers, but I know they are salesmen first, and experts second. However, saw this...
