I wish I hadn't purchased the X1 3 times I've had to send it back. The readings are out and at times it's giving be results really slow. I should've purchased the Megger 1741+ or the Metrel M13152. My 1731 was pretty good and I would've still had it if my van hadn't been broken into. 🤬
@@scotisland Yeah I had the Metrel 3100S prior to the Megger which is essentially the same as the Martindale ET4000. The Metrel had the added Earth test function. Which I think the ET4500 has. That mft was great although it was thirsty for batteries 😂. I'll prolly end up selling the X1 and hoping to get the Metrel.
After spending ages trying to trace a 6mm circuit after a CU change and failing, we finally established that the old 32A shower circuit was connected to an FCU in the next room which in turn fed the macerator. The customer thought this was hilarious and asked if that meant he could do a 32 amp sh-t
could be, but it for the client to give this information. There are some good ideas in these comments that I didn't think of. However if the client doesn't know what should be working in there what can you do.
Passive vent type house? don't know anything about that. Unfortunately the client wasn't clued up about things in the property. I was expecting a call when they found out something that was working before isn't working now.
@@eastwayelectrical a passive house is a type that basically has ducting from a central centrifugal fan that Draws stale air from each room to the fan which expels it outside and the fan also draws fresh air from outside which is sent via the fan and ducting into the rooms that are ducted. The reason being it cuts down on heating and cooling of a home and also with it being passive the windows are kept shut and the passive system stops the home becoming mouldy. The fan it to run 24/7 and is normally placed in a loft area or a voided area. Could that spur possibly run the fan. The customer would not know about it until the home starts to go mouldy. Hope this explains the passive house. Liked the video you fault find the same as me or shall I say used to as I have hung up my mega and cutters and retired.,
I did think of that looked through the window but couldn't see any thing. No way would it even come to my mind to go out there for a better look, it's ridiculous how that roofer just went out there like nothing!
When the customer asks if he has a tester to plug in to the bathroom socket, like no **** if he did he would of used it, let us do our job and get out the way
