Hello folks. Has anybody got any recommendations for a Pro Quality Multi Function Electrical tester, suitable for testing a domestic installation iaw BS7671 and other current regs in force in Scotland. Something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg either as i'm just a home user ( at the...

Hello Robert, as you have popped you head above the parapet wall so to speak would you mind if i ask a few questions ? Where abouts in Fife are you , (I'm living near to St Andrews ). Are you a qualified and practising Electrician. Roughly how much would you charge to do the work...

Oh well that was fairly painless. The guy from Atlantic E&G phoned back this morning as promised ( surprise, surprise ) . Told me that Scot Pwr need 15 days notice for this work, and he'd booked the earliest avail appt for me on 19th March in the morning - no charge ! Happy days. I'll wait...

Comments noted and written down ready for the phone calls. I removed my electric shower 1 year ago when i gutted the shower room and now have a mains water one coming stright off my Combi Boiler. Whoever fitted the shower before i bought the house did fit 10mm T&E to supply it and even very...

I am hoping to get to talk with somebody who actually knows what they are doing , rather than a customer services person looking at a prompt screen , then we can discuss specific details of what I want , what they are going to do and what i need to do , or buy to enable them to do this. I am...

Ditto :D Between free and £30 is my kinda money for the facility that this will provide. I've actually got two meters a high and a low one for Economy 7, not sure whether this will affect things.

As per thread title. Has anybody either fitted, or had fitted an Isolator switch somewhere between the main supply fuse cut out and the consumer unit. I'm pretty sure that I've read about it somewhere and that some new build houses even have them fitted as standard but when I phoned my...

Cheers chaps, I'm going to get some quotes in anyway. If they are reasonable then I'll get an approved sparky to do it complete with relevant paperwork. It's not just about the money for me as i know that i can ( and do ) work to the required standards, it is the hassle factor. A...

I've finally manged to get through to somebody in my local council Building Standards & Safety office, (formerly Building Control). I told him of the work that i wanted to get done , namely replacing and upgrading my existing main C.U. for a more modern and safer unit, and also getting power out...

I couldn't find MET in the list of abbreviations. Could you explain a bit further so i can fix the prob please.

I know that the incoming pair of tails from the meter can be divided to supply two ( or more) consumer units. Is there any particular location where this block 'has' to be located. I have this arrangement in my house, it was installed about five or six years ago, shortly after i moved in...

Hello folks as this is the Electrics UK discussion forum and Scotland is part of the UK i thought this was as good a place as any to ask a question. I would like to get my old House consumer unit replaced with a more modern and safer unit, as mine has re-wirable fuses and no RCD or MCB's...

I removed my old electric shower when i gutted my upstairs shower room last year and fitted one that is fed by my combi boiler. It works a treat, in fact it is miles better than the lecky shower and probably cheaper to run too. You do have to warn people not to run a hot tap anywhere else in...
