    Underfloor heating with air source heat pump

    Different dependant on the air source heat pump? I will be honest the chances of me getting a wiring diagram are slim, I’m under the impression they are thinking we are expecting to know what we are wiring and to get on with it. They think it’s a valiant air source heat pump

    Customer wiring own electrics

    Would an EICR be the only way forward now as I can’t see any contractor signing the work off as their own. Would building control send someone out to do the relevant tests to get their part p certificate. Not sure what’s best to advice him going forward apart from stop being a tight arse and...
