Electrical Testing Contract

21/5/2014

4 Comments

 
Picture
Each year we carry out hundreds of electrical tests (Electrical Installation Condition Reports - EICR) in domestic and commercial properties throughout Scotland.

The reason for carrying out condition reports of electrical installations is to determine the current condition of electrical systems in terms of design and safety.
 
This is to ensure compliance with current electrical wiring regulations and always plays a big part in health and safety management and for insurance purposes. 

We were delighted on Tuesday to be awarded the contract to carry out this testing on 50 properties in the Stirling area.

Carbon Monoxide Alarms

19/5/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
Did you know that a change in Scottish Building Regulations means that from now Carbon Monoxide alarms must be fitted when installing a new or replacement fuel burning appliance such as boilers, fires, wood burners in any dwelling and residential building.

So if you are having any of these appliances installed or replaced make sure the installer is also making sure you have a working life saving Carbon Monoxide alarm

What is CO & why does it need to be monitored?
Carbon Monoxide is an invisible, odourless, tasteless and extremely toxic gas that, if inhaled, can cause serious ill effects - justifying its name as 'The Silent Killer'. CO is readily absorbed by haemoglobin in the blood - approximately 240 times more efficiently than oxygen. This causes serious damage to the heart and brain from oxygen starvation.

How is CO produced?
Carbon Monoxide originates from the combustion of any fossil fuel - coal, bottled and natural gas, paraffin, wood, petrol, diesel, charcoal etc.

What are the main sources of CO?
All Fossil fuel burning appliances produce CO, this is normally vented through flues and chimneys to the outside atmosphere. However, if the process is not entirely efficient, CO can build up to dangerous levels. Examples of possible causes are:

Poorly connected, blocked, cracked or corroded flue pipe/vent
Flue pipes/vents are designed to allow the CO produced by the appliance to vent to the outside atmosphere. If the flue is not operating correctly or is damaged, CO may leak into the property. Even if there is an annual check on the appliance/s, flues and vents remain a potential hazard.

Back drafting
Building Regulation requirements for energy efficient homes and a greater emphasis on air extraction e.g. bathroom and kitchen fans, means there is a risk of creating negative air pressure. This can cause reverse airflow through appliances resulting in dangerous levels of CO being drawn back into the property.

Cracked heat exchanger on gas central heating system
This will result in a large amount of CO leakage and is therefore a particularly dangerous possibility.

Appliances without flues
Some fuel burning appliances do not have flues. Portable heaters, cooking rings and grills are particularly vulnerable as are old appliances. Whether burning liquid gas, paraffin, natural gas or wood, each are capable of emitting dangerous levels of CO.

Install USB Sockets at Hotels, B&B's, Guest Houses

10/3/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
In this day and age of smart phone and tablet computers the demand to provide WIFI in accommodation places is increasing, in fact many people place available WIFI near the top of their list for choosing where to stay.

Another small touch Hotels, B&B's and Guest Houses can add to their list of amenities is USB socket outlets in rooms. 

Socket outlets in rooms are usually limited and in some cases have no available outlets after kettles, alarm clocks and table lamps are plugged in meaning it can be inconvenient to charge phones and tablets - so why not easily and cheaply swap over one wall socket to one that contains both power and USB outlets.

Contact us for more information if you wish to take advantage of this simple but effective idea that will be sure to get you a good guest review on tripadvisor.
