    Cable size

    It sounds like we're 'laying' twin and earth across the garden, which sounds dodgy. What is the actual route and how is it fixed and is it really twin and earth?

    Oh yeah, missed that!

    One circuit 2 switches?

    Wasn't the answer to the original question that the two end switches could be wired as 2-way switches so that either operated the same light?

    Bare wire heating system gives fast heat up time, really?

    You shouldn't drink from the hot tap either.

    Prepping for Solar - Installing Cable

    Yeah, if your supply voltage is too high you risk the voltage drop down this cable causing the inverter to see too high a voltage and just shutting off. In my case our supply is almost always 250V, and at 253V at the inverter it's supposed to turn off. So I installed a really beefy cable.

    Prepping for Solar - Installing Cable

    He's saying that he thinks that if you run a conduit of some kind it will allow you to pull though whatever turns out to be required when the time comes. If you can do that easily it might be a good idea.

    Electric boiler?

    I think what you are missing is the will to take on a challenge. The points you mention (most of which I already pointed out) represent the engineering challenges to be overcome. The storage temperature would have been chosen for optimal trade-off . Bear in mind that these days a lower...

    Electric boiler?

    Assuming the whole think was encased in good insulation, which is obviously part of the plan, then you only remove heat when you run water through the pipes, which then travels on up to your radiators or underfloor heating pipes. At the time I did the calculations and it really just depended on...

    Electric boiler?

    Back at that time (70's) my plan was a house with a large cellar which I would fill with wax, and loads of pipes going through it. It meant the heat could be stored at a constant temperature (melting point) suitable for heating the house for a year. I found that you could choose a wax with a...
