When the burner shuts down the circulator pump on combi keeps running endlessly? The diverter valve is noisy, as it seems to give a "clunk" during program changes. I know there is pump over-run on some pumps, but this never stops? Its on a Worchester oil boiler, but I would think it would be...

Anybody know where to get the wall thermostats that go with these old heaters?

C&G 236 part 1 & 2. What year did these two get changed to another C&G certificate? A question for the older chaps on here! :wink:

As it says I need a render that will have a red sandstone look. Does this just mean adding red dye, but how much? What is the right ratio for exterior render?

I just want to check about the position of a circulator I am adding to a semi-gravity plan. I have already added a 2-channel programmer, 2 port zone valve to get independant control. Boiler has got 4 tappings, so it will have the 2 pumps when done. I was going to put it in the flow pipe...

Are there differences between these two and what are there?? I thought they are the same thing? Cheers

Is there a Level 1 2330 course or is there a pre-requisite to the C&G Level 2 course? Hope that makes sense. :)

I have everything lined up at the college for training but think there may be little point? There seems to be a huge amount of electrician vans where ever I look! One man bands, multi person companies, multi trade electrical companies! If there are SO MANY what would be the future in this...

What is it? Is it the recession or something else. BUT, peoples driving is getting much worse. I am stopping letting people out of junctions myself because I have given up on this courtesy. The other day I came out of a one-way system. Stopping my van to show a guy that he can not drive the...

You can't have a fan isolator in a bathroom with a fan. Can you have one in the same space as the fan in a utility room? Or kitchen for that matter...? Can they be manual or do they have to be automatic? Cheers

I have seen and heard of Smart Meters (radio operated reading etc) being installed around the country slowly. Anybody know who does it in the Northwest apart from UU?

I have a friend (40) how has said he is a qualified spark but does not do into much detail. He said he is registered and can do rewires? If he were, what C&G's would he hold?

Has anybody worked in Cyprus as a spark (or plumber for that matter). Whats the local laws and regulation. Whats the set-up (voltage, system designs, accessories ect). Is it similar to UK regs due to the British influence or more Greek in the installation methods?? I see lots of people with...

I was going to re-wire my house and ask someone to do inspection and testing on the circuits. I have electrical qualifications and daily experience. Do fully qualified sparks refrain from doing this work on others installations. How long and roughly how much would it cost for I&T a 3 bed...

I overheard a job be discussed recently where the incoming supply was a three-phase cut-out and a domestic supply was also needed for the premises. What resulted was the domestic supply taken off one of the phases at the cut-out and not the installation of a second (single phase) cable for the...

Venturi Showers. Who makes them and are they compatible with a poor output combi to improve showering?

If you don't have 83.5 years (joking) in the electrical trade would it still be possible to pass an Inspection & Testing exam?? I have a few years house bashing, but no industrial experience, finding it difficult to get hooked up with any of the local companies for that. Wondered if I would be...
