    Hi Dave, Ive taken a screenshot of the work that needs doing, do you recommend doing an MEIWC for each? the thing I've seen done before is someone using literally a home printed excel worksheet that looks like the 'section A - Observation' page and fill in the ones they've rectified and just put...

    Storage Heater with 4 wires

    Thank you for that info. So if i'm not intending to use a programmer then i can just connect the black cable to a connector block and leave it unconnected? Thanks again for the help.

    Storage Heater with 4 wires

    Yes that would help wouldn't it haha I just fitted the two Dimplex ones as they were straight forward and took a look at the third one and told her I'll do it on the weekend once i figured out what the fourth wire was for. Thanks all!

    Storage Heater with 4 wires

    She has two Dimplex storage heaters but these have the standard 3 coloured cables, which I connected up easily easily enough. However the other isn't a Dimplex storage heater it has the temperature dial at the top of the heater to adjust the temperature, so I don't quite understand what the...

    Cable preference for corridors and public access areas

    I don't doubt that, I asked to see the technical schedule and specs all they could give me were drawings of the floor plan, if he didn't skimp and use these cowboy wiremen he wouldn't be in this situation. Anyway he wants me to help out until he can find another spark to work on site.

    Cable preference for corridors and public access areas

    Hi Guys, thanks for your feedback as always, but I haven't done any of the work on this install. This is just me walking around having a visual inspection of what has been done so far on the request of my friends uncle, as he has had a falling out with the sparkys who did all the work so far.
