I find it interesting that people are more intetested in why im asking rather than actually answering my query. What a pity. I am asking as I im curious to know the cause and as a person with some sense, I want to do what I can to help solve the problem and possibly save some money having not...

There is a plumber but he is unsure if the pressure switch would fix it and said if its not that, we'll try something else. I just want to avoid one thing after another and the associated costs and then end up getting a new system anyway. Hes a good guy ive used for plumbing for years but has...

Hello. I have been experiencing an intermittent failure on my Glowworm Ultimate FF30. In a morning, the boiler comes on fine on the timer and all radiators get warm fine. The timer then switches the boiler off after 3 hours and comes back on in the afternoon. It works for about an hour...

Thanks Monkeh- I thought the former owners had been fiddling with the circuits but its perhaps normal. I've found live wires hanging behind plaster board so I'm touchy on what has been done by them or the builders. On the CU, I'm not ure whether its RCD or not (Im not there at the moment). I...

The phrase '...you don't know what electricity is..' is a little sarcastic, don't you think? I mention the fact about GTGs as a retort to the comment as there wouldn't be much electricity without them, not as a random fact. Anyway, moving back to the reason for my request for advise....

I've no intention of doing it myself, never would. I simply like to learn about things I have no experience of and to then have an idea of what it is I'm talking about when I speak to the professional who is doing whichever job it is I'm discussing with them, that's all.

No need for the sarcasm. Im well aware of how a fuse works and Im damn sure I know more about how a gas turbine generator works than 99% of people but I admit when it comes to household stuff, Im not experienced as you can tell-hence Im here asking questions to learn. That's interesting...

Hmm. I am checking my screwfix cat and I can see 13amp single sockets. So, on the 1st point above, why have a fused switch at all? I can see the purpose to switch off the appliance easily but why have a fused switch and not just a switch? The fuse in the socket would bring the current down...

Hi. Thanks for the reply. Im looking to remove the fuse switches for aesthetic reason as much as anything. I understand what you are saying on dropping down for the appliances but to have a fuse switch about 20cm above a single switch seemed strange. I assume there are no single switches with...

Hello- Ive recently bought a new house (about 11 years old) and Im installing a new kitchen. Ive decided to add a couple more double sockets and it has all left me confused as some of the existing sockets seem to have seperate fuse switches and others don't. Plus the electrics from the cosumer...
