Electrician called after failed DIY | Installing a Tado thermostat

[@MrBinabanana]

Fair play to the homeowner stepping away when he wasn't sure. Too many would have soldiered on and made a mess. And too many believe Volt Sticks provide an indication worth betting your life on.

[@TheChipmunk2008]

yep on both counts. I use volt sticks as a quick indication that a circuit is off (ie i have the right breaker off) before removing the accessory to check properly (and yes i have a proving unit lol)

This is something I need to learn myself, some things just are not worth messing around with and need a professional. Spent hours trying to unblock a toilet at work the other day, put it all back together, and it was still blocked, drain doctors called out, and they discovered a massive blockage underground which even they struggled with.

Lucky there was a neutral there!

[@Tatsatexucativeelectrician]

Good job sir

[@heatpump8566]

I’m a plumber and about 25 years ago I started doing all my own electrics on heating systems……..because Sparkys didn’t have a clue! An unbelievable breed of tradesman

[@TheChipmunk2008]

charming attitude from a fellow tradesperson. And I for one DO have a clue... but it's outside most house badger's comfort zone

[@snakearts6309]

easy way to do it with the labels, saves a lot of hassle.

[@beeeavs]

Sure the wiring diagram is on the inside of the lid

[@thesilentonevictor]

Delroy at it again

[@PeterHarford]

I always take a picture before I disconnect

[@snakearts6309]

picture is good but also label how it is wired is good practice, also bit of tape on the switch live doesnt hurt.

[@legendkiller456]

I'm convinced yall are bots

[@andyhawkes3335]

Try fitting a switchee absolutely horrible job

[@user-br5tv2zm8p]

They're fine 🙂

[@andysims4906]

Nice gloves but I’m sure it’s not cold

[@andysims4906]

I thought those Honeywell Stats had a wiring diagram in the lid so connections should be obvious

[@samfish6938]
