Has anyone used the 'Alfanar' range? Very modern looking.

I have an outside socket which is BG but I will be changing the face plate to Hager as it's EV rated. I will look into them brands, ideally looking for something more modern then the current ones.

Hi All, Looking to replace all the sockets and switches as the current Tenby ones are looking a bit tired! Who make the best quality and value accessories? I used Lisse range by Schneider on my last house but they have almost doubled in price! Thanks.

I don't really have a budget for the job, all I know is I don't want to make a mess inside having to fit extra cables etc. Thinking about it I could fit a quinetic receiver in an external box with the photocell at a later date if it becomes an issue where I want the lights on earlier. I am...

During the kitchen refit I will try to keep it inside a cupboard. Something to keep in mind. Thanks.

Currently the washer plug is hidden behind it, is this a problem? The fridge freezer is inside a cupboard.

It will just be one single unswitched socket for a 10 amp car charger to be used from time to time if family visit. Guess I can always use the jet washer from it too.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I was thinking it seems a bit pointless having the FCU to be honest. When the kitchen is refurbished I will switch them over for 20 amp double pole switches. I will go with a 20 amp double pole switch for the outdoor socket to be controlled internally too. It's all...

Hi All, I am in the middle of a refurbishment of my new home and have a few questions. In the kitchen I have 4x fused spur outlets. 2x of these make sense as there down rate to 3amp for the boiler and extractor fan. All of these spurs are wired off the 32amp downstairs ring main. The two I...

I thought that maybe the case. Does such PIR sensor exist which could do the same as photocell which gives me the override option? Thanks.

Hi All, I am looking to replace an outside light which is controlled by a switch and is fed off the downstairs lighting circuit. The light has a switched live (controlled by the switch inside), neutral and earth. However I am hoping to replace this light with a photocell unit which I can wire...

I was wondering if I fitted a deflector kit would that stop it? My understanding is the outer part of the flue is an air intake and the middle part is where the product of combustion exits.

Hi all, Is this normal? I know the condensation should go back into the boiler but it seems to be leaking out of the flue. Thanks.

Well after a good few hours of working from 000 I got to 267 and bingo. I have changed the date to match when I had it serviced and set it to warn only rather then no heat. I won't be using Danfoss for anything in the future!

Did you open any 2/3 port valves when refilling? What is your pressure gauge reading?
