NON COMPLIANT NEW EV INSTALLATIONS

Dave Z ,

My mate is a Plumbing & Heating Engineer.

He knows his limitations as far as Electrics is concerned but wanted to add some electrics within his remit if possible.

He`d had an "Electrician" charge him a shedload for boilrer wiring Y or S plan with zones for UFH.

When they fired up the system it didn`t work properly. The electrician changed a connection here, a connection there, ad infinitum and hours later it worked.

This happend on a few systems of his.


He changed Electricians and got similar but not quite as bad results.


Anyway this course, cost him £1000 a week, 4 weeks fulltime, so he lost 4 weeks work too.

That I think shows his commitment to wanting to do it right if he even touched electrics.


He commented that it was a course about passing the exam, not about understanding the regs at all.


He mentioned later that one of the first thing the Tutor told the class was "Forget Rings, they are old hat and not done anymore".


Is that anyway to run any course?


When I did his first boiler wiring thingy, I took him through it, let him run some cables, explained the whys andwherefores too him, I let him fir it up UFH and all. It worked first time and cost him £££s less.


Later on I heard him tell customers "When Ebee does the wiring it works first time!" as if unusual. Well it should work first time if done reet.
