My Trusted Electrician
Великобритания
Добавлен 2 июн 2017
Hi, I'm Luke.
I've been an electrician since 2001 and self-employed since 2010.
Join me on my day-to-day workload where you can witness my workmanship and electrical tips.
Also watch me attempt a dream of transitioning from my old limited company 'Fulgora electrical' where I survived mainly on sub-contracting from builders on a low day rate salary, to a new company called 'My Trusted Electrician' where I will attempt to acquire my work directly from the customer using marketing and word of mouth.

Immersion Heater - Fault Finding
In this episode: During the Covid lockdown, I'm still attending emergency call-out work. A little unsure of when work can commence, as usual, I turn my attention to creating training tutorials for RUclips.
This video is for anyone who wishes to understand the functionality of an Immersion heater (resistance heater) and how to fault find.

In this episode: I install Philps Hue LED Bollards on a Saturday. There are problems from start to finish which sadly result in a very late finish for me. There's no way of fixing the bollard into the ground without me adapting the base of the fixture and its cable entry. See how I get around these problems using flower pots. There are 4x videos on my Instagram page which show both before and a...

Garden Lighting, Wireless switching & Terminating SWA cable into Wiska boxes.
Hi good job! I’m looking at adding a RING siren to my outdoor wall would this Conduit work from a junction box to the siren think 24v wire and use the plastic conduit to protect it. Hope you don’t mind me picking your brains. Thanks 👍
If you pushed that thermal cut out and it energised with your finger in there you'll get a belt you won't ever forget ill tell you that. Bet a few home owners have done it after watching RUclips videos and forgeting to isolate the supply!
Is it a requirement to use conduit in a log cabin? cn you not use tranking and insulated cables? NOT WIRES I MEAN , GREY INSULATED MULTI CORE CABLES!? I have SWA all the way to the log cabin CU but the inside just 50mm wide cable trunking to all switches and sockts.
You could use trunking, however, it’s not the best and it often looks cheap and flimsy if it’s not fitted precisely are you on about an actual log cabin or the garden style of one made out of boards? If it’s a garden style you can actually drill through sometimes and put conduit on the outside very neatly I’d recommend contacting a professional if you’re unsure on that just because there’s other regulatory things you may be unsure and you can’t perform a lot of the tests to ensure things like earth thing is sufficient which is very important for the correct trip time to ensure your protective devices function correctly.
Very nice
What does Flex mean?
Awesome job matey 👍. Thanks for sharing
I am truly amazing that house didn't burn down with the previous wiring!!! top vid btw, a very enjoyable watch!!!
Please make more videos on trunking installations.
Do you mind if I give you a helpful suggestion for next time, and this is how I deliver Leaflets when I have two or more people with Me, why dont one of you do down one side of the road, and deliver all the closes and roads off, well the other one does the opposite side of the road, and delivers all the off shoots/ Closes and roads off, as what you are doing atm is your walking more than you need to, and if you both did opposite sides of the road you would bang off more leaflets a lot faster than you are atm, hopefully you find this helpful, and yes trust Me I have done dozens and dozens of leaflet drops over the years, mainly for estate agents in my case, good luck and keep up the good work guys

Nice hat😂
Hi Luke. When is ur next video coming out? Why haven't you posted anything lately?
I ran an immersion heater off a 13A wall socket for 20 years and the house only burnt down once.🙂
super like this video... nsfw my job so much easier
And it's my opinion that dot and dab is complete cobblers ,modern houses are costing £400,000 yet are built with this dot and bullshit,
If your client wants the isolators out of site there is nothing stopping you doing what obviously the norm is to have your isolators above kitchen top height and directly above the sockets or other sources that they are isolators but some clients want as least amount of electrical items on show as possible and as the client has asked for that to happen when it's obvious they know where the isolators are going to be installed and if they sell the house they can inform the new owners,so in short if someone tells you that they must be visible are talking bullshit,mind my French,this is from a recently retired JIB GOLD card approved industrial electrician of 50 years,so keep up the good work,by the way I am a ringmain fan and for most of my career I never wired a final ring circuit with cable less than 4mm and that's working from specifications and set out drawing calculated by electrical architects.
Excellent educational video....Just improve your sound please
If you want a laugh look at my Spanish short on an install
Fabulous job mate. Can’t believe I never saw this one. Well done you! Btw where are you? I hope all is great on your side. ❤️
I’m looking to buy what it likely to buy (an older property) in the next few months that’s in need of modernisation. I’ll remember to keep an eye out for loose wires or junction boxes in odd locations as a warning sign or opportunity to negotiate the price down!
Great video, but could do without the background, very annoying music, that detracts from a great video. :-/
Thanks for a great video, it really helped me to connect the fan to my phone 😄
Rubbish video doesn't show you anything about how to wire up a shed.
How much this job cost?
Does wylex have a different type of din rail?🤔
I wounder what ever happened to him no videos in 3 years
I believe he got stupidly busy with work and unfortunately RUclips fell off! That’s what I could gather from his socials
❤where do you get the power from your garage 🤔
❤what amperage you use for the ring circuit in the kitchen and does the cooker have it's own breaker.😊
Poor standards & quality in every aspect across the trades in Spain, they don't seem to even understand what a fkin spirit level is!
Great series of videos. Thanks.
Im 16 and in collage juat learning electrical engineering that house was nothing but a ball of fire waiting to happen
Thanks. Very informative with a lot of theory with practical information.
How do you know which live cable go to which circuit breaker ?
I would of put the 25mm tail for economy 10 board in the same Henley as the 24hr
How do you matching cables to new breakers without labelling ?
👍
Hello, may I ask how do you know the order of cable without labelling. And how do you know which live conductor connected to correct breaker ? thx a lot !!!
Thank you for this excellent video. You have just saved. my life, as I would have had so much grief with setting up the connectivity app ! When day to day things in life throw up problems like this, it pushes you to the edge. Really frustrating and so unnecessary.
If the shower cable was on top of 2 cold water supplies then it’s effectively water cooled 😂😂😂. I’m not one to do the usual DIYer rant but in this case you can see why sparkys hate DIYers having a go at electrics. There should be mandatory training for DIYers to do before they touch anything. We cant just say “no diy” like they do in Australia as that’s dumb, but when someone does this level of stupidity then it’s just dangerous.
😂 pair of tits. Great video dude.
Neat, but wouldn't it of been better to make it TT , in the shed,( stick CU in there)instead of the older version of the SFS in the shed?
🎉
All that is nothing compared with the wiring of our apartment near Malaga. Examples: on renovating the bathroom, I found that the wires for the supply to the illuminated bathroom cabinet were joined by twisting the bare wires together, then covering them with adhesive medical finger plasters. One of the bedside lights with a metal body was live. A wall socket once burst into flames. The electrics were "done" by the electrician who shall be nameless (Paco. Oops), and who was employed by the neighbouring, sizeable hotel. Ah me.
Any advice for testing 3 phase immersion heater and is it advisable to remove thermostats when performing insulation resistance test?
Amazing Video! Please keep it going, suggestion maybe get head camera holder much easier to maneuver! 👍
Gosh this 'covid' nonsense won't age well... You can reverse the ferrule and just snip the plastic end off ....... great vids👍
No new video since 2021?
Love your videos but can you leave the music off when your explaining things please
Initial condition: Horrendous
i was thinking of buying this fan (don't have any idea how to install it :D )and your video convinced me to buy it ! thanks alot for going from start to finish with the installation !
