LOTS OF CIRCUITS FOR A SIMPLE 4 BED REWIRE....WHY?????!!!

[@pjmorgan]

Impressed that you managed to get Darth Vader to do the filming for this 😂

[@bristolsparky]

😂😂😂😂

[@dannyrimmer2717]

The letters OTT come to mind and there’s not many clients that will pay for all these safety extras 🙃

[@bristolsparky]

@@dannyrimmer2717 how do you know what the budget was? It's all included and very competitive

[@davecowan860]

I’d say that was good going time wise, top job 👌🏽👍🏼!

[@bristolsparky]

Thanks, it was a mission!!

[@peterigrenyi9176]

How did the SPD end up at the furthest point from the incommer on that top row? Bit odd.

[@bristolsparky]

Type 1,2,3 SPD made by surge devices, google it and look at the wiring diagram and location of terminals

[@OCD_Sparkies]

If I need to label sockets etc I use clear labels, they look a lot more subtle than white background labels. To the point you can label coloured accessories and as long as you get the label on straight it looks alright!

[@bristolsparky]

Clear labels are perfect for decorative accessories 🫡

[@nodwaa9227]

the emergency light is a beauty. i shall be using that :D

[@bristolsparky]

Thankyou🤙🏻

[@bramcoteelectrical1088]

I do that on fusebaords. Clients love it Good work mate and like your channel

[@rofl4332]

great work!

[@bristolsparky]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@hogg8888]

Great work 🎉🎉🎉 i do the same with smokes in garages

[@bristolsparky]

Thanks!

[@hughblount1983]

I much prefer having separate lighting and socket trips for upstairs and downstairs so if there's a fault the customer still has some supply and I really like the idea of having an emergency light by the consumer unit saves worrying about looking fir a torch

[@bristolsparky]

As standard 🫡🫡

[@munemabdul1199]

Can’t lie bro you’re a certy sparky 👌🔥

[@bristolsparky]

Thanks!

[@yammy613]

That job was a long way from home for you. Venturing over the border to Wales.

[@bristolsparky]

It really was, it's probably the furthest I'd like to travel now

[@calumclark1719]

Do you guys have the THTC tariff south too? it very common here in the north isles of Scotland , Wylex used to make a split board which had the spacing for the tariffs the new ones you have to make to fit, and the OLD MEMs used to have a double stacker specifically for it too but when Eaton bought them out it disappeared, Nothing wrong with the triple stacker looks nice, the EM light is great its standard aboard boats that is where i knicked the idea from 😂. and I can tell you in regard to the Storage heater if its pre 74 it will have asbestos but you can access the connections without going near it and then just hard wire the flex into the switched fuse

[@bristolsparky]

The flex wouldn't reach hence it was kinda like 2 birds 1 stone. Relocate and not mess with them

[@karlparhad7805]

What does your max demand work out to ?

[@bristolsparky]

Calculated around 90-something amps

[@keiththesparky]

I seem to run into this problem quite often. By offering more selectivity in the form of dedicated circuits you can often end up around 200amp or more before diversity is applied which can still exceed the 100amp main fuse and equipment ratings after diversity is applied. Think they should be more allowances for such installations as if they are affordable it makes more sense to separate circuits more. Great Install by the way 👍🏼

[@bristolsparky]

@ thanks

[@dubmono]

Wouldve fitted the outside light on its own RCBO. Hate to trip the upstairs if theres a water leak outside

[@bristolsparky]

That's also a great idea, I've done that before 👍🏻

[@MegaMetinMetin]

Is surge ok on the other side of the switch? So it’s last to feel the voltage spike after all the circuits

[@bristolsparky]

Of course it is, some manufacturers have it before, some after🤷‍♂️

[@MADSPARKS31]

SPD is recommended to be as close to the main switch.

[@MADSPARKS31]

Either side is fine, cable lengths as short as possible.

[@bristolsparky]

@@MADSPARKS31 correct

[@dangallagher2306]

How have you fixed the conduit back? No complaints i just dont see any saddles ?

[@bristolsparky]

That's because I've used D-line saddles, discrete & compliant conduit fixings....Google them and come back to me👍🏻

[@briangriffiths1285]

Where is the heat pump provision? Future proofing heating would surely be an ASHP?

[@bristolsparky]

Because that's the direction the client wants to go in

[@nightmagic3304]

I'm not looking to pick fault but just curious, looks like a two phase and neutral supply so 400v potential between phases, do fusebox allow two phases in their domestic enclosures? Hager (not fusebox I know) technical told me no on a recent job where we had storage heaters on a separate phase so we had to use two separate single phase DB'S where one would have been neater like you've done here.

[@bristolsparky]

It's not 2 phase

[@nightmagic3304]

@bristolsparky I stand corrected, apologies. Tidy work :)

[@bearbin]

Looks a bit over the top, but that's what I would want it it was my house :)

[@bristolsparky]

☺️☺️thankyou...I think

[@richardcawrey]

Same

[@bristolsparky]

Thanks!

[@timballam3675]

Jesus, with the price of electricity why not use a hetapump?

[@bristolsparky]

Client's choice

[@georgemcclelland5207]

Are you willing to publicly give a ballpark figure for the invoice amount on this job? I know it can be a sensitive matter so no worries if not. Always interesting to see what people charge though

[@bristolsparky]

Unfortunately not

[@danvictor3934]

Hi i still think this thermal de rating is a load of pants in the Regulations you will find nothing about it.

[@bristolsparky]

All manufacturers instructions tell you about it

[@danvictor3934]

@bristolsparky Hi I can understand it with afdds that have computer chips in them but of all the Rcbo Consumer Unit i have ever installed I have never seen any instructions I use Fusebox Hager Lewden Crabtree Starbreaker Mk Honeywell mcg etc

[@bristolsparky]

@ go and read the manufacturer's data sheets on all of those brands
