Should an electrician be wiring gas boiler controls?

[londonboy]

Would this be the same heating 'engineers' that:
use earths as lives,
run cables in notches with hot pipes,
run bare singles to timers,
fit room stats above radiators,
use the bare earth in twin and earth as a live,
feed boilers directly from the ring with no spur,
chop all the bonding off and leave it,
need I go on?

Anyone who blindly connects anything to the mains supply or any other voltage without first checking what the device requires is a fool. Doesn't matter if they are an electrician, plumber or anything else.

I'm amazed a boiler fitter could have the skill to fit a boiler and not the skills to connect external control wiring.

I'm not!

I would not let a spark any where near wiring up Y & S plan heating systems.

I have not met one yet who you wat he was doing. Oh dear!!!

You need to stop working with 'idiots wot have wire cutters n stuff' and find a decent electrician. Plan wiring is generally very simple i dont understand how anyone who calls themselves a spark can get confused by it.

You need to broaden your search for electricians, I could wire them correctly while I was still on my YTS !!

So you should. ! I don't bother with sparks I just do it myself.

I can do plumbing, me.

Its a doddle.

I prefer to do my own plumbing aswell, reduces the chance of a plumber making a right mess of things.

So you are registered with a electrical scheme and test and certify?

 

[onlyfitidealboilers]

No. Means nothing. Money for old rope same as sparking.

Do your customers know you're leaving them with an illegal installation?

The really funny thing here is there is currently a guy in the combustion chamber forum who can't manage to fault find on a simple s plan system, yet the plumbers recon they're the only people clever enough to wire heating systems

High and low are comparative terms and anyone using them for communication needs to take into account how someone else may be using them!

Some people fitting boilers are primarily plumbers with little or no electrical knowledge and prefer to let someone else do wiring for them. This is particularly where relays may be required to interface between 24vdc and 230vac controls.

Expensive mistake for that electrician though!

No, other people need to learn the correct terminology and definitions of electrical voltages if they are providing information about electricas equipment or things pertaining to electrics in their documentation.

In the electrical industry, high and low is defined clearly and so there should be no comparisons going on. If there is, then that person or manufacturer should leave well alone.

Low Voltage is what it is, and 24 volts would be classed as Extra low voltage not low voltage.

 

[onlyfitidealboilers]

Illegal! Get a grip son. Lol a proper job you mean.

 

[DaftPunk]

You didn't realise you have a legal requirement to notify all heating control installations?

This just gets better and better

I know war they want me to do. But am not a robot like you lol beut
