I'm looking to add a wireless room stat to my own heating system at home. I'd prefer to keep the hard wired clock, but add a wireless thermostat as we are just using the temp control on the boiler ATM and I don't like it. I'm just wondering if I could wire the RF receiver for the stat, after the...

I have recently fitted a door bell for a customer. He would now like additional chimes in the kitchen and upstairs. It is a wired system as he specifically said he did not want anything with batteries.

I've discovered that one of the bedroom lights in our 1930's 3 bed semi have been wired (I guess as a spur) into the upstairs 16A radial circuit. Similarly the light in the porch extension at the front of the house are on the 16A radial too. I know the best solution would be to wire correctly...
I have been asked to install a hard wired fire alarm system in a domestic property. I was thinking of an aico system.

Hi,
I had to do a repair I was not certain on, so would like to run it past some experts here.
We have a large stirrer at work. Due to some incompetence the gearbox got damaged.
With a lot of work we have almost everything back together with 1 problem remaining.

I wired a 3 phase motor for a hydraulic pump up today. Its a 3kw motor. My boss told me to wire it as a Direct online in Delta. I thought maybe it would be better as a Star Delta as the pump would be dry and it may cause high start up current. I belief that a small motor is fine as a DOL. When i...

Alot of the properties I work in, were built when the 16th Edit ruled, most with no RCD's for bathroom lighting. Majority have evidence of supplementary bonding, clamps & earth wires on basin pipework, rads etc, or in immersion heater cupboards. However, some have no sign of that. Now I've read...
Hi guys,
I'm going to wire up a brand new house shortly. I am an electrician, but out of the game a fair bit. I've no real problems with designing the installation loading etc. Just wondered in todays modern world what is expected in todays houses?
I noticed in a house that...
Had a call from a customer. Did a 4kw last jan. meter has only clocked 480 kw/h's. I said that wasn't nearly enough. Although when he was speaking to me he said the inverter was showing 3kw at that time.
So before I go round I just wandered if anyone had had similar fault?
