Re: Location of Isolation Switch for Extractor Fan

There is nothing in the wiring regs to say that TP isolators are required but for special locations ie bathrooms you should install in accordance with the suppliers instructions.

Re: Laying of electricity cables. Npower insist on being NERS accredited??

Hi If the cables are being adopted by the DNO (Distribution network operation = the local utility company) then they can assist on NERS registration and I believe they all do. You have stated N power are insisting on this - Npower arent a DNO and dont own any utility infrastructure so not sure why t...
