I've heard from a friend that it's cheaper to keep your boiler permanently turned on and to then control the room temperature with a room stat. Surely it can't be cheaper to have your house warm instead of cold when you're at work? I can't get my head around it although my moggies would...

The button has been pushed. :wink: Pictures say a thousand words. should this aav be open all of the time or just when I'm refilling?

Thanks for the help guys. What is an aav? Personally I would like to do the work myself, sense of achievement, etc.

Hello All, About a year ago the father in-law fitted our boiler and promised he would return to fit the TRV and then fill the system with an inhibitor. Well a year on and it's still not done so I'm going to give it a go myself as I would like to get the boiler serviced. My questions are as...

Yeah I hevea toilet upstairs but it's not plumbed in as I'm busy tiling. It has a full height stack but I'm not sure if it penetrates through the roof (I'm at work at the minute). I've checked the bath and the sink in the bathroom up stairs and they seem to drain away fine. I thought about...

No. The cavity between plaster board and block work wall is uninsulated and so are the stud walls if I went along that route. If it's 45amp I need then that's the way I'll go, and if I can't get my hands on one then I guess it's an indendant 45amp consumer unit like this one...

daytona Yeah thats the existing shower circuit. I've turned it off because the shower is leaking internally. I'll run the cable from A to B myself but yes I will get a qualified sparks to do the final connection. I'll either try to run it where the existing one is which is down the dot and dab...

I want to install a 10.8kw mira shower but I'm not sure if my consumer unit is up to the job. I know from reading the other posts about the same topic that I need a minimum of 10mm2 cable and a 45amp MCB. my current shower is a 8.5kw so I'm guessing the cable will need to be changed but i'm not...
