Yes, that's the difficulty I am encountering. Boilers seem such a mystery with the professionals. a professional secret. I have had two plumbers around both saying different things. Just thought if I could arm myself with some knowledge about what needs to be done I would be in a better...

Hello. I am have just bought a new boiler. Valliant ecotec plus 824. It was very expensive. I have a one bed flat. Open plan kitchen/ living room about 6m x 5m. Bedroom 3.5m square and separate bathroom and stairs leading to my flat. I have added a liitle internal insulation to the solid...

No. The problem is, fan operation. My bedroom is next to the bathroom. During the night I don't want the fan whirring and making noise if I have to make a midnight pee. I also like to have the fan off when I have a bath. It's nice to relax without the whirring. I wanted to turn the fan off if...

How funny. It's only a 1 bed flat. 3 switches? That's more knobs and buttons than the bridge on the starship Enterprise. Thanks again that's really helped a bunch.

I have sketched that out and it is clear how that works. The only down side is that you have to set position of switch before turning light on. Because if the fan comes on with the light and you dont want it there is no way of turning it off. Which defeats the purpose. But if it works I guess...

I am super confused now. My other half warned me against posting to this forum. She said that I am not bright enough and I will be turned into knots. She is not wrong often. The way I understood you was that the wiring you explained would leave me with two switches. One for the light and one for...

It seems like it is impossible to have the switches as I First thought. I have had a rethink. Because the most annoying part of the fan is the noise- the only function I really need is to be able to turn it off whilst still leaving the lights on. Can this be done with a three pole isolating...

Thanks for your response. Your instructions are clear but I need todraw it out before it makes perfect sense to me. It does appear though that this wiring makes the fan and light independent from eachother. What I was looking for was a fan that comes on with light but can also be turned on and...

I think I understand. I tried to draw a diagram to clarify. Took a picture of the drawing and then tried to upload it but can't work out how to get it off my phone. I will try to describe what I have drawn. My lighting circuit is done with the junction box method. Inside the junction box I have...

Hi. I wonder if any of you sparky clever clogs might be able to puzzle my problem. I want to wire a bathroom Fan to my lights in the normal way and have a timer overrun. But the tricky thing in addition to this I would also like to control the fan independently of the lights on a separate...
