    EICR codes again earths to double ins fittings

    Just been to an inspection today, as with many of them its suffering from a bit of DIY, bathroom downlights are above 225, so are out of zones, but are not IP rated, so I will probably give them a C3 ? They are double insulated but the earths have been nicely snipped out so are discontinuous &...

    Customers!

    We're know for being patient, courteous and have great customer care but I'm finding myself getting ever so slightly exasperated. It's killing us to get panels, inverters, deliveries, subbies to forego some of their other work to help us out. We've turned down loads of customers to keep our...
