Solar thermal systems are considered the only ‘virtually zero carbon’ technology currently available on the market. A system uses a small amount of electrical energy to run the pump circulating the fluid, which is heated directly by the ‘free’ energy from the sun. Some energy is also used to manufacture and install the solar system […]

See what our customers had to say about our work with Consumer Units here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.  In the UK, domestic and small commercial or public installations usually have single-phase supplies at 230V (nominal standard). The main distribution boards in these installations are called consumer units (CUs), though they may be […]

Solar power is the fastest growing energy technology in the world, and works exceptionally well even in the UK’s northern climate. Many thousands of people in the UK are now using solar photovoltaics (PV) to generate electricity from their roof, or using solar thermal (ST) to create hot water for their washing or space heating […]

If you are thinking about having a rewire then this article will give you an insight as to how we would approach the work. How it usually works is that after a brief discussion with us on the phone you will have sent us some basic plans and ideas with the numbers of rooms and […]

See what our customers had to say about our work on Bonding here, and here. Main Bonding (Earthing) Main Bonding is the use of a separate thick (10mm) green and yellow copper cable, to connect the Water, Gas and Oil services to the Earth Terminal in or adjacent to your consumer unit. Connections are made […]

Fuses Rewirable fuses have a piece of special wire running between two screws designed specifically to melt and break When a fault or overload current flows through the circuit. The melted fuse breaks the circuit, disconnecting the faulty circuit and keeping you safe. MCB’s – Mini Circuit Breakers These are automatic protection devices in a […]

Is low voltage the same as low energy? No! It’s the watts that count, not the volts. There is a common misconception that low voltage lighting systems are the same thing in terms of energy efficiency as low energy lighting systems. On this page we will try to explain why this is. Measuring energy Energy […]

This article describes the main characteristics of most of the different types of Extra Low Voltage cable that is currently used in domestic installations and that we use on a daily basis. The following have their own articles: Mains flex Modern Mains Cables Historic Mains Cables Terminology What most people think of as “Low Voltage” […]
