Sparkys do my head in to be honest had a row with one few weeks back over a y plan . Had a cust who wanted to update cylinder and control upgrade which i said you can get a sparks to do the wiring as i have no insurance on that side of things ,however make sure they understand heating .Anyway ive done my bit leave as sparks turns up giving it i am the best attitude so left him to do wiring .

Few days later i get a call from the cust saying nothing is working properly to which i reply it will be wired wrong .either way its a call back turned up at house prove everything is working my end so cust phones up sparks . He turns up sounding off about how i have not plumbed it properly as he does load of works for plumbers and he has never had issue .So i then produce wiring diagram and tell him he's wired it wrong and to follow my diagram , 20 min argument over this before he then says i will prove its wired right only to find it was wired wrong . Still refuses to follow diagram as he knows best , i have had enough decide to leave only to pass diagram to cust who then phones me later to say after about an hour of no success the sparks then followed the diagram and it now works !!!!

Like i said sparkys do my head in !!!

[on31ll]

the electrcians forums just boomed with brain cells with all these plumbings joining up. they must think we all go through google searchs just to say "get a GSR in" etc

 

[Dotty]

Ha! I'm in there now too!
And now the tiler's forum.........

 

[Mike Jackson]

Quick double lock the door before croppie comes back.

 

[Dotty]

They'll let me back in all the while I have an unpaid tab!

 

[Orry Clayton]

while bashing them, might I add napit have started a "electric safe register"... made me laugh when I heard.

 

[peteheat]

A bigger insult is in Ireland an electrician with zero knowledge of gas or plumbing can be an RGI (GSR) by doing a GIS & GID course total of about fourteen days training all because there is electrics involved with heating controls.

I have argued that their course should only cover the heating contrls but RECI (register of electrical contractors Ireland) were given control of setting up the RGII.

Some of them shouldn't be allowed to wire a Christmas tree :59:
