Hello everyone, My 10yrs old Valiant boiler drops pressure especially when not used, from roughly 1.2 to .7 in about a week, enough for the boiler to shut down. All the plumbing and rads are brand new. The new system was not tested with the boiler functioning because there was no electrical...

Thanks for this, The freeholder is going to facilitate the installation of a new service cable, however they advised that all cost will be passed on to me. I think this is unfair on the basis that the existing cable is really old and no sparky I called in wanted to do the job on the basis of...

Hi, that's not an issue as I can re-lamp the fittings with MR16 LED lamps

Hello and thanks for everyone's inputs. Apologies in advance for the long post. The fuse where the service cable starts is located in a cupboard in the building ground hall. My flat is also a ground floor flat and the distance from this cupboard and my flat is only few meters away. Other than...

Hello, I have a question regarding the replacement of the main service core, from the fuse to the meter, in a flat in an old building I'm rewiring, which is a leasehold. My electrician says the main core is an old one and not of the right amperage for the new rewiring/electrical set up. The...

haha! I'm so confused now! I mean, there is a risk to get electrocuted accidentally if the system is not RCD protected! beside all the bloody regulations I'm now concerned about the risk posed by my system? Should I not??

That's cool! So, one of these for each of the socket circuits, that right? (i don't have an electric shower).

Thank u very much for it! Will this fit my CU type/model?

this was crystal clear, thanks for it :) I wld need to know this becuase ...here it goes: I fully rewired my flat in jan 2008 as part of a flat upgrade. Warrant was obtained in oct 2007. However the electrician (select registered!) who did the job disappeared and never released a...

Thanks for ur advice! Can you please tell me how you wld fit a RCBO's for this unit? Wld you just replace the main trip? Is it what you got in mind? Is there a specific model of the RCBO u wld suggest that wld fit in it ? (don't worry i'm not gona do it myslef, I wld ask an electrician to do...
