Landlord Electrical Safety
What are the requirements for electrical safety in rental?
Powering our home office
When we moved into our terraced house, there was a small play house and a shed in the backyard both of which were powered via a non-buried armoured cable that ran to a standard outdoor outlet at the back of the house. We had both removed, and had the wire disconnected as it was clearly not properly installed and wires at the box were exposed to the elements. We then had an insulated summer house built thinking powering it wouldn't be an issue (it's our first house, forgive our ignorance!) We've had an electrician in but he's said it requires us to have the cable running from the fusebox. Understandable. Problem is, that the fusebox is at the very front of our house, and while the first two thirds of the house is floorboards and somewhat accessible, according to our neighbours (we haven't ripped up the floors yet to check) the rear of our house is solid concrete. Do we have any options?
What does an extractor fan rate mean?
What does an extractor fan rate mean and how can I tell what applies for any given fan?
House Alarm Niusance
Since a recent power cut, my not in use house alarm has gone crazy. The alarm kept making chirping noises and then went off making such a noise that I took the plug out at the circuit break in my fuse. But it’s still making noises from the back up battery I think. What do I need to do to make it stop?
How much does a fire alarm service cost?
Our fire alarm panel is due its service for our shop and the previous owner apparently had it done twice a year. What is a fair price per visit? What are our obligations here to stay compliant?
Quotation question
I have been quoted £260 for a porch light fitting I have supplied the light. Is this too much?
Power optimisers + string inverter vs micro inverters
When it comes to a solar panel installation, woudl you recommend micro inverters or a combination of power optimisers + string inverter? Which is the better option?
How do you label a circuit breaker?
I think the breakers in my consumer unit are labelled incorrectly. Am I ok to relabel them or should I get an electrician round to check and label them?
Power outlets for US appliances
What ball park cost am I looking at to install 4 to 6 110 volt (US) power outlets in my kitchen?
How much to install an outside light?
I've bought a couple of wall lights for the front of the house. Roughly what would an electrician charge to wire them in? Guessing this is a pretty quick job so shouldn't be much
