Today marks a MAJOR milestone in the new house my parents have been building and which my Dad and I have been doing all the electrical work on<\/p>\n

Today the house was inspected, passed and finally connected to the grid by the States Electrical Inspector … YAY !!<\/b><\/p>\n

This follows a year of work involving planning, wiring, drilling .. you name it. A year in which we’ve layed over 4 miles of cable including : Cat V: video surveillance cable; satelite cable; and of course miles of multi-core cabling.<\/p>\n

There were only a few glitches but the place is now lit up like a Christmas tree, the PV’s are connected and the ground source heat pump is humming away and has heated up a tank full of water to 53C in only a few hours !!! … that’s water heated only from the underground pipes and passed through the heat exchanger … WOWSERS ! [check out the what & how here<\/a> and below]<\/p>\n
