    Noise on phone line

    Hi, I recently switched my phone line from BT to a LLU provider. Voice calls working as normal, however I have dial-up equipment for work data transfer and the connection on this frequently fails/drops for no reason since transferring my line. Is there any solution? Is this a fault on...

    Beko Dishwasher Banging

    Hi, My Beko dishwasher makes a regular (every second or so) dull thudding sound in the middle of each programme, about half an hour into the cycle, lasting about 20 minutes. First observed about a month ago, and it's only about 3 months old. This happens even if it's run empty. Can...

    Rattly MCB

    Just bought a new B50 Crabtree Starbreaker MCB to connect my new electric shower at the CU. The MCB rattles as if something is loose inside. Is this normal or should I return it for a replacement?

    Burnt Switch

    Hi I did some DIY today, removing the self-installed 20 A switch for my bathroom towel rail. On rescrewing it to the box, the live load wire seems to have become trapped between the switchplate and back box, pressing the live conductor into the metal box as it was screwed tight. So when...

    Low Pressure from Hot tank

    I have an immersion heater fed by a storage tank in the same cupboard. Cold water from this tank flows at an adequate pressure, however hot water from the immersion heater flows extremely slowly at times, especially when the water is very hot. Can anyone suggest a remedy? Thanks!

    Economy 7 timings

    I've just connected an additional storage heater to the off-peak side of my Economy 7 supply. I used the way that had previously been occupied by the immersion heater to connect this, and had planned to reconnect the immersion, via a timer, to the main "always on" CU. The timer would have...

    Economy7 - Again

    I asked the other day about connecting an additional storage heater up to my timed supply with its somewhat undersized tails. I've now decided that it's probably better to connect one of the two storage heaters, or the immersion heater, to the constant supply via a new timer. Which...

    Economy 7 wiring

    Looking for the expert opinions of you guys. My first floor flat has an Economy 7 setup, with everything on the constant supply except for the one 2.55 kW storage heater and one 3 kW immersion heater, connected to the timed supply via a 2-way CU. I've acquired an additional 1.7 kW storage...

    Sparking Heaters

    I have a 2.25 kW storage heater and a 1 kW bedroom panel heater. I have noticed that both seem to generate considerable sparks within the casings, but visible at night through the vents, when the thermostats switch the elements on. Do I have anything to worry about? Thanks in anticipation...

    50 A Shower Isolator?

    I want to upgrade my shower to 10.8 kW using 10 mm2 cable protected by a 50 A MCB. I understand this calls for a 50 A isolating switch. I don't want a ceiling pull cord as I want to keep the switch outside the bathroom, on the wall as with the present 45 A switch. Can anybody tell me where to...
