If you really want to see the relationship between gas and electricity costs 👇

@KateFantom @Alfentofol Even the so called community buying system that the councils push is expensive And seg tariffs are dropping which a lot of people look at

@vitaelectrical @Alfentofol I agree, but as I said, if you can, you should. It makes utter sense.

What’s amazing is, despite this cherry picker’s twisted facts to make you think renewables don’t work, they’re still producing more than fossil fuels 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@KateFantom @Alfentofol It is cost now and people have even less money to spend on items like solar &battery especially these past couple of years

@Alfentofol Because they’ve been told they don’t work.

@Roger_Jones_28 @Andrew33080654 @sparkypete_ Too busy doing their rcbos up with torque drivers

@Andrew33080654 @sparkypete_ You think some manufacturers would come up with something, maybe ask the insta sparks

If only there was something that helped us earth the armouring without using a clamp. What a life saver that would be… 😓

@SulisElectrical @electrician_247 Have heard that 2919 level 3 EV qualification is accepted by eas

@vitaelectrical @electrician_247 If they are all registered as apprentices and ‘supervised’ they can by pass new requirements. How much supervision is debatable but can see it happening

People wonder how and why we get elements of training siloed off to deliver "competence" It is because the training sector has created the illusion of said competence inside 3-5 days for a whole range of things. Most recently solar PV. We reap what we so and still today we have unethical providers marketing accelerated apprenticeships and electrician plus. I am embarresed for them but admire the brass neck around the business element to it! Right now we have government policy to bypass wiring regulations and product standards around plug in solar and now sections of our apprenticeship framework pulled out to train in limited areas of our trade and most likely also circumnavigate around MCS and such to export MPANs. Now I wonder if energy retailers and manufacturers are driving this. I warned around and evolve or die result and think we are seeing very clearly that in action. Very much hope to be wrong but when you fuel unethical training and lower bar after bar after bar. Well here we are. I intend to raise a call to action similar to that of what was done around safe isolation and get this sorted out.

@SulisElectrical @electrician_247 Iam wondering if these big utilities will try circumvent the October requirements with mass training for their people I know that when the cable run is not standard length they have to get the think squad in to install

@electrician_247 I was speaking to a meter guy from a large supplier and he said a lot of the guys fitting ev chargers in his company dont have correct quals come October. Supplier trying desperately to throw money at it but cant get guys on the ev course as they have no nvq3! Managers panicking

@nixonelectrical And a trip to Gil lec judging by the bag

Installing garden power. Remote switching for 3 water pumps and garden lighting including festoon lighting.

@Andrew33080654 @nixonelectrical @keellelectrical @LeamingtonSBC Lawn mower damage 🤣

@nixonelectrical @keellelectrical @LeamingtonSBC I got asked if you could get a spare glass cover the other day. 🤣

@_williamwinter @UKLabour 5.2% increase in Buckinghamshire

So had my council tax bill through, thanks a lot @UKLabour for making sure they don’t go up!! Unbelievable, never paid so much for so little in my life! Absolute joke!

@EquinoxElec @credwards @NordluxUK We've just installed some expensive outdoor lanterns where the silly plastic connector was deeper than the recess on the back of the fittings 🤷

@vitaelectrical @credwards @NordluxUK You said it….. these actually go one step further on the buggeration level…the top lamp holder pulls up and down to release the diffuser….right past the cable entry. You couldn’t write the design idiocy here…

Does make you wonder sometimes……Nordlux Class 2 wall light…. They couldn’t just have put an earth terminal in that box….I mean come on 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️…. Room for 2 cables in the grommet might have been nice too but hey ho… @NordluxUK

@EquinoxElec @credwards @NordluxUK Muppets

@credwards @EquinoxElec @NordluxUK They are not fit for purpose Only purpose is land fill

@EquinoxElec @NordluxUK These connections are so rubbish 😎

@EngineerLondon Amazed at how close he was to the middle phase 🤣

I was doing something like this before breakfast, albeit on dead apparatus

@itsmeRyDem @PolitlcsUK Quite happy to get involved with Ukraine 🤣

@PolitlcsUK Can anyone educate the UK Gov on priorities.

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer has announced a new defence agreement with Ukraine ahead of President Zelenskyy’s visit to No 10 later The UK will fund a £500k AI centre in Ukraine’s MoD to deliver a "battlefield advantage" through smarter use of AI and drones

@AmmoniteElectr1 @TheSolarShed Inertia is very important Atm the grid has about 11 flywheels to replace the generators from coal Going to need a few more 🤣 Only takes an inverter to trip out

@TheSolarShed Aagree for the most part- but have you read the report from the Spanish horrendous power cut, and I mean the whole report? Scary. Like it or not we have a serious problem going forward partic given the energy sucked up by AI. A country’s AC supply will always req nuclear/gas etc

They fear us because we’ve realised something. Energy doesn’t have to come from oil fields, pipelines or power stations anymore. It can come from rooftops. And once people control their own energy… the old system loses its power.

@AndyFitchet Totally disagree Water bill up £10 a month Council tax up 5.2% Energy only climbing Fuel climbing never to decrease Food increasing 0% growth in January Unemployed up Job loses climbing But let's generalise eh

In April, energy prices will come *down* £117 a year and minimum wage will go *up* £950 a year. Making someone on minimum wage £1067 a year better off. This Labour govt, like all govt’s, has made mistakes but not doing enough to tackle the cost of living isn’t one of them.

@DpawsonGas No words Dave 🤣🤣

Overkill screwing clips? Cant bring myself to nail them 😅

@DpawsonGas @s8mb Unicorn gas ain't it 🤣🤣creates the heat

@s8mb Where did the R290 (propane) come from in that heat pump? 🤔🤦‍♂️

This rests on the *global* benefits of lowered carbon emissions. That's dubious: we are 0.8% of global emissions and most of the rest of the world isn't decarbonising nearly as aggressively as us. If we only consider benefits to the UK, the costs of Net Zero exceed the benefits.

@DpawsonGas @Ongasuk Kathryn is very knowledgeable on energy ,talks a lot of sense you should follow and watch / listen to some podcasts she's invited on Puts net zero in its place

@Ongasuk how has this one become so prevalent and got the attention of the likes of reform MP’s? Is she the jans row fella of the gas industry? 🤷‍♂️

@akincadeelec A few FI flying around 🤣

@vitaelectrical I’m thinking they’ll recover the money in the repairs bill!

Been a long time coming this one. In other news NICEIC suspended my account as took too long to book assessment & now cant get to me for 3 months 🤯 Also pricing to test some schools we work in but not lowering myself to £7.53/circuit #Electrician #Nottingham #Derby #Sparkslife
