I *think* that's the circuit going to my shed, so I hope so! It was all done before I moved in a couple of years ago. I can double check in the morning. Thanks!

Yes, but it it does if I'd like to get a 22kW charger installed, right?

Thanks - I will contact them to ask.

I am investigating electric car chargers.

Hi, I have a main fuse carrier which has space for 3 fuses, although only 1 has a tail coming out of it. There is only 1 cable going into the bottom. Does this mean it would be (relatively) easy to have the supply upgraded to 3-phase? Is there a way to tell? As there is only 1 cable going in...

Thanks. So I guess I should try and reproduce it, to narrow it down?

Hi, I had an electrician install a new 45A circuit for an induction hob (replaced the gas hob). It is connected to a 63A RCD in a split load consumer unit (Other RCD is 80A) along with the rest of the kitchen appliances oven/microwave/etc). While cooking dinner yesterday, we had the oven...

The house is victorian. I'm not sure about sockets on the island, doesn't look like it, but will check. Pretty sure there's no underfloor heating, which would make it simpler.

I'm definitely going to ask (Although I've been lied to about similar issues in the past...). But I want to be prepared for the 'no' answer.

Yeah, I'm hoping there's one already there. This is a house we're going to look around to see if we want to buy it, so I want to see what the options are beforehand. It's a newly renovated kitchen, but we *really* don't like gas hobs! :D

That's great information, thanks. I was expecting that we might have to try and make it 'straight' by digging down to the bend. I guess I was hoping for some sort of 'boring' device, which would 'worm' its way along, pulling something behind it. :D

Possibly, I think it would look a little strange because it's a vaulted ceiling. Good idea though, thanks.

Not sure - it's a house we're possibly going to buy. But a suspended floor would definitely make it easier.

What are the possible solutions for running an electricity supply to a kitchen island while avoiding disturbing a newly laid floor. Imagine there is a gas hob on a kitchen island. If I would like to have it switched to electric, could we disconnect the gas supply, and run an electricity cable...

I think it's the inconsistencies in information that I have received which is the problem. Let me walk you through some of the story: 1. We bought the house with a 1980s boiler installed in a fireplace, vented up the chimney. 2. I had 3 RGIs round (including british gas) to quote for a...
