    How big a job is it to implement multiple zones?

    I thought TRV's were only useful in commercial buildings? a few years ago was gonna install TRV's in my home until I read this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/interiors/jeffhowell/8250191/Home-improvements-What-is-the-point-of-a-TRV.html btw Jeff Howell is a expert on such things

    Adding a second consumer unit or replace existing one

    I'm going to say this one final time. Can everyone please stick to the thread topic. The thread topic is NOT Is this forum a substitute for learning? Does the OP know how to change CU? Can you spot spelling mistakes? Only reply if you are able to stick to the thread topic; i.e. how to...

    Adding a second consumer unit or replace existing one

    Do me the courtesy of not corrupting this thread by taking it off topic. You've made your point; i.e. I dont know anything and you think someone will die. No need to continue repeating yourself and corrupting this thread.

    Adding a second consumer unit or replace existing one

    Ive already mentioned that atm I'm gaining knowledge... the 'you dont know anything' bullying tactics are unnecessary. I am learning and will decide whether I can do it or not at the end of my learning curve. Would you say to a learner driver 'hey forget about it, you'll end up killing someone'...

    Adding a second consumer unit or replace existing one

    Adding a second consumer unit or replace existing one

    Of course if I did do it I would make sure I knew how to do it! I'm not intending to do anything right now, just gain knowledge. So, how do you deal with the live supply when switching consumer units? Is there a switch in that 'black box' that feeds the CU??

    Adding a second consumer unit or replace existing one

    Am I allowed to add a second cosumer unit as a DIYer? (or replace the existing one?) I want more outlets. Also if it is allowed can you advise whats better?? i.e. replace for a bigger or add a second?? and how do you turn the live feed off?

    Is PTFE safe on a cooker?

    Hi, One of my neighbours recently had a gas leak (abeit minor) at the connection to their cooker. They called a corgi safe engineer out and he told them that it hadn't been installed correctly because over time PTFE leaks. Now Ive checked behind mine and it's just a normal bayonet to the...
