    What's the difference between a good and a bad electrician?

    What are your thoughts? I think a good electrician will accept full responsibility for their work and that responsibility should extend for the life of the installation. A bad electrician would chuck it in any old way and be off in the van as quickly as possible without a second thought.

    Promoting your business, what's the most efficient way?

    What's your opinion on + 4kW peak?

    Just wondering on what everyones opinion is on installing more than 4kW (peak) is. We have for quite a long time installed more than 4kW on the roof. This is based on the fact that the inverter is limited to G83 and therefore will not exceed the 16A per phase limit but makes it all the more...

    What's this object?

    Hi all - Showing my ignorance/lack of experience here. I presume the main fuse for this system lurks inside the bulbous green box which has a seal on it. I need to pull the fuse to do some work on the system. There appears to be black slime oozing from this contraption. Any advice on how I...

    What's wrong with my downlights?

    Hi, I installed a set of 5 downlights from B&Q. The downlights come hardwired into a daisy chain and worked initially for perhaps two months. Now only the first light on the chain works (the one closest to the transformer). I've tried changing the bulbs, but that's not the issue. I've also...
