We look forward to working with Colin and once some of our other electricians and office staff return from holiday next week then we will be firing on all cylinders and raring to go working throughout Scotland.
This week we welcomed another electrician to our team - Colin Ferguson.

It's pleasing to read of the introduction of a new law within the Scottish Building Regulations that will make installing Carbon Monoxide Alarms mandatory from October. For many years now we have been installing Carbon Monoxide Alarms where required when installing Smoke Alarm systems and the introduction of this law is well overdue but now warmly welcomed. Installing Carbon Monoxide Alarms either at initial install or as a retro-fit to an existing installation is a pretty simple job where both battery operated or mains voltage alarms can be used. We would always recommend mains voltage with battery back up just for that added security of knowing the battery will not be depleted. Many people will think that as these alarms are associated with gas appliances then they should have a Plumber/Gas Engineer install them - that is not the case as obviously battery operated alarms if installed properly at the correct locations within rooms can easily be done by homeowners/landlords - lets hope some businesses don't see this is a money making exercise and rip off the public by taking advantage of this crucial addition to the Scottish Building Regulations. Our rescue mission on Monday was in the Scottish Border town of Hawick where one of our electricians attended as a matter of urgency to our clients premises to repair a faulty chiller unit so they didn't loose too much productivity time. Poorly connected cable within the plug top probably caused this mess. New plug and socket installed.
This country really needs to sort out it's Bank Holiday dates and have most people/companies singing from the same hymn sheet.
Today, Monday 5th August 2013 is an official Scottish Bank Holiday yet very few people, let alone companies actually know about it. Most of this country will adhere to the late UK summer holiday on 26th August. Now throw into the mix the many local holidays in Scotland where different towns and regions have traditional holiday week's or fortnights throughout the summer where some businesses close then the whole mis-match of holiday dates is muddied even further. A few years ago we lined ourselves up with the Scottish Governments list of bank holidays (see earlier link) a sensible move you would think since we are a Scottish company doing business in Scotland, but we have quickly found that we can be caught out by giving electricians this day off because the majority of our customers are still working. We never make it easy to do business in this country do we. |
