    News Does anybody still have an issue with the forum style NOT loading colour?

    The forum should look like this. (Or similar) If the forum is colourless, please scroll all the way down to the bottom of the forum and there's a tiny paint brush on the left. Use that to change the style, try a couple, one or two should work. Still getting the odd report about this via...

    Is bathroom underfloor heating still notifiable?

    All the specific guidance I can find stating that underfloor heating is notifiable seems to refer to an outdated version of Part P, and I’m trying to understand why generally everywhere still treats it as notifiable. If a dedicated cable already exists from the consumer unit (so no new circuits...

    Napit.. Do you still choose the job, or do they?

    On the Napit certification page there is a little tick box, saying something along the lines of ' I consent to this job being used for my assessment '. Does this mean Napit makes its own choice, from that list, or do we still choose which job is used for the assessment?

    Hi all, I am an experienced DIY electrician and I just wanted to ask a quick question about something since I am new to this forum, if it hasn’t really been answered anywhere else. The question I have in mind is how come most electrical manufacturers still make single gang (25, 35mm etc) back...

    AM2, is there anything you forgot to do and still passed?

    Hello everyone. I've been reading stories of people failing their AM2 on section B initial verification. I'm going back in my head and I think I forgot to functional test the solar. The assessor wasn't always in the room, and if he was he wasn't watching us that closely. My question is, how...

    EICR, is amendment 2020 still valid?

    I have had an EICR carried out by a NAPIT member, but I have noticed the certificate states ‘The inspection and testing detailed within this report and accompanying schedule has been carried out in accordance with BS 7671: 2018 amended to 2020’ Does this make my certificate invalid as I have...

    Can a glow plug has no continuity & resistance but still short a circuit?

    I have an original 250w glow plug in my 8yr old pellet boiler that's used to light the pellets during the start up phase on my boiler. The boiler has been tripping the fuse on around 50-60% of the start-up cycles. Using a bit of trial & error I think I've narrowed it down to the glow plug :)...

    There is still life in it.

    We had some old rcd testers in the office so I bought them home to see if they still function. Tester 1 no trip, tester 2 no trip go to my consumer unit and hit the test button no trip, shock horror how long has it been like that. Today I performed surgery and fitted a new device and it lives on.

    Light circuit off at consumer board - but RCD / RCCB still tripped

    Hi I'm removing an extractor fan from our WC, as it's just a toilet and sink and we never use hot water in there anyway... The extractor is on the light circuit, but has it's own pull cord. I double checked by turning the fan and light on, then switching off the MCB. All good. I triple checked...

    My Lasko electric heater stopped working and I thought it just played out so I replaced it with another heater that worked fine for a while, but when I went back to check it was also not working. A fan is on the same circuit and has been that way for years, the fan still works fine. Is this...
