I am thinking of installing up to 4 wall lights out door around my patio. To keep things simple I am thinking of plugging into the outdoor socket that I use for the lawnmower etc. I’m thinking of running the cable up and across the exterior walls and under the barge board. Can anyone advise on...

I have a pressurised cylinder with heater, but gas appears to be far more efficient at heating water. Is there no way of isolating the CH at the boiler? I accept your other points and advice, so thanks.

Hi. Wishing to change a meeting x of 8 and 10mm copper to 15 on all downstairs rads. This will cause me to drain the CH system and as I have a system boiler I will lose HW. As this job will likely take me longer than a day or so, is there a way of retaining HW. Also what thoughts do people have...

Hi thanks again. don’t know what you mean my s plan. Sorry. I’ve been quoted as follows Parts required: Inlet Control Valve £60.38 plus VAT 9m 22mm pipe £45.00 plus VAT 3m 15mm pipe £7.50 plus VAT 15/22mm tundish £6.89 plus VAT No of Engineers: 1 = 1 apprentice Time Required: 6 Hours...

Ok. Thanks for advice. can you indicate what needs to change??

Thanks so far. here are some pics of what I have. White pipe is overflow. Red hand wheel is cold water supply This shows overflow coming off top of cylinder Overall view. expansion vessel off to right - not shown. Cheers C.

Hello. I have a water discharge issue via the overflow from my unvented cylinder. The cylinder is overflowing only when the cylinder is being heated. It appears the muppet who installed it did not do a proper job and will not return to fix. I have been told that the pressure relief valve...

Thanks for quick reply. How do i diagnose / test this? I have all the covers off the pipe work at the moment and can see the two motorised valves.

Can anyone shed any light on the following? Hardware: Eco tech 624 - System Boiler NOT combi with a pressurised HW tank. What appears to be happening is; When I have my boiler set to heat water only, it does so and appears to do so to the set temperature. I've messed about with the tank...

Well, thanks again for your help on this matter. it appears that for the £5 cost of the dual plate, plus some cable, I'll be good to go. I guess then final check will be to ensure that the 6mm2 cable goes right back to the consumer unit, which I am almost certain it does.

So, when shopping for oven and hob we found a job at 7.2 kw and an oven at 6kw. We were told that they would require separate 32amp supplies and also questioned the size of the cable to our existing oven. They also said they would not install the items if on arrival the existing installation...

Wow! Thanks for all your help!

So, so long as the hob and cooker are less than 15KW, I'm good to go with current installation?

Why do they not? Is it as simple as you dont have everything on at once? (all 4 hob rings, plus oven plus grill) But what if you do? Christmas day?

I'm now finding internet pages that tell me that a standard cooker installation with a 32A mcb / fuse can cope with 15KW? Can anyone explain?
