Can I replace my danfoss 103 timeswitch with a sunvic 107XL? I know there may be a big of wiring alteration, but this is a lot cheaper than £60-70 for an electronic danfoss!

yes, shower is on RCD, all outside work, ie lawn mowing, etc - use 13A socket plug RCD

Works fine, never had any probs with it, what's so wrong with a fusewire CU? (Dont mean it to sound as arsey as it does :oops: )

We still have a fusewire CU - nowt wrong with it, so reluctanct to pay £££'s just to make it a MCB CU - anyway, would a leccy be happy installing a seperate 45A RCD for upgrading the shower from 7.5Kw up to 9.5Kw onto the existing CU, or will they insist on changing the CU? If so, how much...

would you recommend british gas as installers, or are they still rip-off prices compared to everyone else, as used to be the case?

I have a back boiler in the front room, does this simply heat the CH, as the immersion heats the tap water? If so, could I get rid and have electric panel heaters and it not affect the boiler in the airing cupboard, therefore allowing me to remove the rads in the house? Im asking really...

We want to move our 1st floor bathroom to the ground floor, but on other side of house. As the stack is built into the house (stupid idea imo), I am planning on drilling through to the outside wall, then running a soil waste pipe into the IC , to the drain. As the existing stack is not in...

hi, when we moved in, the 1st thing we noticed was there was no loft access. Upon questioning the neighbour, it appears that the terrace we are in used to be maisonettes, and as a result there is a 9" steel reinforced concrete "top" before the normal roof, obviously. Is it possible to do...

Right, we are currently in the process of organising our front garden, what we have is a triangular area next to a concrete slab driveway. The length of the triangle is approx.6m, 3m across the front of the house, and then returns to the start of the drive. We want some shrubbery at...

Hi, Moved in my house a year ago, only starting to "DIY it up" now. First thing I've noiced is that I have ONE 30A ring main supporting the whole 3 bed terrace. (Fused CU 2 light circuits, immersion heater(15A), shower(30A) cooker (30A), on a 60A CU) Right, firstly there appears nothing...
