Alarm Spur From A Spur

[brum69]

My airing cupbard contains a heating system, which has a fused switched spur in there. My alarm system has been installed off this spur, via a fused connection of its own.

Is this allowed?

More information required before an educated reply can be given:

Is the heating spur taken off an existing ring final circuit?.

If not it isn't a spur it's a radial circuit from the consumer unit -is there a fuse/breaker marked up 'heating' or the like?.

If it's off the RFC what size is the cable feeding it, load on it?-is it an immersion heater supply for example or just boiler.

If it's a radial what size is the cable.

My guess is his alarm co cant wait to see the back of him. Sometimes customers dont know how good they have it.

We have a few customers I would love to see the back of, funny how most of them are domestics.

same here, got an email from one of my domestics just now moaning they can't remotely see there rented house over the internet.

This one emails me at least 8 times a week about silly things.

umm friday night, eastenders on, chicken kebab just delivered! LEAVE ME ALONE

Im not sure i agree here, sorry lads.

I accept that some clients expect us to be available 24/7 and attend for free. But most dont. IF a contracted customer has an issue the its professional and right for us to do something about that.

If its not on contract then IMO they are no longer a customer. But while they are a response is IMO expected. That may not be a visit mind.

Just my 2p mind. im probably in the minority

[richardthatcher]

I fully agree with you James

A customer paying for your time either by contract or one off fee for labour is quiet right!

I am all up for helping my customers if they are on a contract if not on contract if the issue is small then I will help over the phone or email not a problem.

But this one emailing at least 8 times a week is a waste of my time especially for connection issues or moaning that the camera recorded nothing.

So this person is not on any support contract with you?
