What do you guys think about electrical work done by plumbers?
In Austria they usually wire everything they hook up (new boiler,...), and most of the time they botch horribly. For example, a well-known plumbing company installed a completely new central heating system in our appartment. They took the wire from our infrared heater, connected 2 3x1.5 mm2 SVT cables to it using strip connectors, wrapped everything with electrical tape and finally buried the splice in the wall. Then they ran 1 wire to the boiler (nicely stapled to the wall, but stranded isn't listed for fixed wiring) and one to the heater.
There's a plumber I know quite well who spliced the 230/400 panel feeder in his house. He hadn't much conductor left, so everything was under tension. Some time later the splice burnt and he had 230V on the neutral. This went unnoticed as long as the neutral worked. But when the neutral broke, every light-power appliance ran on 400V (light bulbs become really bright then!), and high-power appliances just stopped working.
So what do you think?
