As my age (and temper) increases, so my patience and range of services drop off in a curiously inversely proportional manner. Y'know, I started this business with all sorts of enthusiastic strings to my bow, some admittedly having snapped along with my sanity over the years, but the latest facing the immediate axe is my willingness to undertake electrical condition reports for the Private Rented Sector… although as with everything else in this life, conditions apply!

Buyers’ remorse may be something you’re suffering from if you’ve had a national company attend to your recent renewable requirements. Whether it’s A Shade Greener plumbing in your PV, Octopiss Energy enabling your EV or British Gas hauling in a heat pump, you’re perhaps now stood looking aghast at the quality of workmanship that was slapped onto your home. Okay, so you fucked up by failing to hire someone who actually cares about your most expensive pride & joy, but breathe deeply into a brown paper bag and calm yourself down my friend: the cowboys may have just ridden outta town, but now the Goddamn Sheriff is here replete with his surly expression, rusty badge and a phat belt o’ whiskey… in a dirty glass.

At the end of 2022, Hager introduced a new Arc Fault Detection Device (AFDD) with an upgradable firmware feature. This is something of a first in 'smart' consumer unit components and raises several issues for electrical installers. Rather ridiculously, it forces me to lay out specific terms to protect myself and my business against a product Hager figure is doing me a favour. If you don’t like my terms... don’t put me on a job with Hager's horrible hardware.
