Have you checked Eufy? They have a no subscription option. You get a camera, then a base station (i bought a new base station 2 for £25 from FB market place to test. the base station records the footage and connects to wifi. Most uk suppliers buy from China, and will debate about conditions...

Okay. So given I think it was the boost one that failed (which is really strange), I disconnected it all together and left the wire hanging. I will swap / get it swapped in a few days when I have a bit more time. The instructions, say that when using a single heater, you should jump terminal 4...

Its the middle and bottom.

First. Thanks to everyone thats responded. Every response is a learning opportunity. I think I may have found the issue. The boost thermostat is showing continuity between: L - N (expected) L - E (fault) N - E (Fault). The off peak on: L - N (expected) So the boost one is the issue. Ive just...

Cool thanks. That MCB that is down, is a kitchen wall mounted downflow heater i removed. The wiring is still there, and capped. So left that MCB down. I just realised, I amdidnt attach the annotated pic of the CU. 1. Is the MCB for the Immersion heater - that doesn't trip when the problem...

Many thanks for the response. I assume the Hortsmann has a back up battery that keeps it going. I have just tested it, when i turn the MCB off, it still stays on. In my "uneducated" knowledge, turning the electric shower on, combined with the 3KW immersion heater, surged in some way, tripping...

I thought so, I spoke to an electrician who said it should be fine. He said if it trips while in use, then swap it for 45A.

Hi all. My flat runs on Economy 7. So is fully electric. It has a hot water tank with 2 3kw immersion heaters on a Hertsman e7 controlller. I recently had an issue with an 8.5kw shower solenoid. I took the opportunity to upgrade to a 10.5, so swapped the cable for 10mm Twin and Earth...

Technically, it could be read in 2 different ways. They may have used the term "plug" wrong - so intended left socket They may literally have meant there is some form of plug or adapter they where referring to.

My unofficial hack was to use 1 regilar g10 bulb in thr group of g10's on my parents.

I understand the logic and worry too. The extractor hood has carbon filters on it so catches most of grease. Although you can see stains on the ceiling. I just don't like ots recirculating the air as it's open plan.

Unfortunately not. We are in a flat. It would be possible to cut a hole above the canopy box.

Hi all. I have a cooker hood that currently filters and re-circulates air. Just in front of it, there is an electric extractor which has flexi ducting that leads outside. How do I add the outlet from the current hood to the room extractor, also now allowing a back flush of air?

I think the sockets are almost flush, to a standard where i am quite happy with them. (Never going to be perfecct in this place unless i get the whole thing gutted and reskimmed. But you are right. I will probably live to regret it!

On the other side, where it was hard work to put 2x 2gangs in, where I had to guess the gap. Ive noticed the cable is quite close to the surface, with a thin layer of plaster over it. This leaves a slight hump over the cable. Do you think it's worth the hassle and risk to open that up, try to...
