Help with installation / diagram

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hi,


I am after some help with a heated windows installation / diagram - grateful for any input.

Unfortunately, the company supplying the installion went bust and I have been left with a system that doesn't  work (incorrectly designed).

We had a local electrician do the first fix wiring based on the diagrams but he says what has been sent won't work in it's current state and he doesn't have the relevant expertise to adjust it.

We live in a rural area and electricians are not that common especially for something as complex as this.

Rather than post up the diagrams and go into too much detail initially, I just wanted to know if this is a place to ask for advice and if not could anyone point me in the right direction. e.g contact details for an electrical engineer.


Thanks.

    Assuming you didn’t pay on a credit card, you are probably stuck where you are. Google suggests a few firms that do this sort of thing. The best suggestion is to contact two or three of these and get them to quote for finishing the installation based on where you have got to. It is difficult to suggest things as we have never seen the windows, and do not know what electrical insulation has been used in their construction. If you apply mains to a window or several in series, you don’t want to make the frame or window handle live. It is also important to note that it appears from the photos that your electrician appears to have installed two core cables to each window, with no provision for an earth. 


    Regards,
