As the title say "Don't Mix TPS cables and polystyrene insulation"
In my career, I saw this mistake a lot. Houseowners solve the heating problem and start an electrical problem. There is a chemical reaction between TPS cables and polystyrene when they touch each other. No problem for the polystyrene insulation but highly dangerous for the TPS cable that becomes brittle and turns to a fire hazard. It's possible to have a visual check, as in the picture, it's visible the cable has already started to notch a hole on the polystyrene meaning that the TPS cables are or will be chemically damaged and have to be replaced. An option for the replacement is a non-migratory TPS, known as Blue TPS or removing the polystyrene and replacing for another insulation type and reinstalling the electrical cables with a standard TPS.
Please lock at “Energy Safety - August 2017 ” link attached.
If you are not sure and you need an inspection please don't hesitate and call an electrician.
Please feel free to contact me as well.

Got an opinion on fireworks? Share it with us

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?

Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?

We want to know… View more

New Zealanders are embracing the reusable bag ahead of a plastic bag ban, but they could be carrying something else around – bacteria.

ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.

"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."

Food safety expert Steve Flint said it was a valid concern. Read more here
