The light in question was the last in the chain so my sparky was able to connect the wall light without any problems. DFH101 8)

The meter is a horstman radio telemeter series k so should be switched by signal, At the weekend it also seems to give me an extra half an hour in the evening off peak by starting early. Regarding the meter install, there was no live feed given to the storage heater side of the mcb which i...

Had the contactor and time switch fitted a few weeks ago, storage heaters are much better and are lasting in the evening now with a split charge, 2 hours morning 5.20am - 7.20am and 2 hours in the afternoon 1.50pm - 3.50pm. If required they can be boosted during the last cheap period of the...

Thanks for assisting My sparkys coming tommorow to fit a contactor and timeclock so i can control the new storage heaters on economy 10 He says he will pull some 3 core throught and connect accordingly. 8)

Evening all, Hopefully a quick and simple query, I had a look at the wiki and could not find the exact solution. I want to put a energy saving type wall light up in my hallway that can be kept on at nights, At the point that i want to fit it there is an existing light switch that operates...

Probably but they would not do it as there were 2 meters and a scottish power teleswitch, they do have a similar product but they would not offer it in my area. The electrician that came out from sp says that he would probably come out and change the meter to the economy 10 meter as they do...

Hi, Thanks for replying to my query. I will have a dual rate meter fitted within six weeks once my transfer to scottish hydro goes through, I had to have the existing heating meter and the teleswitch removed so I would only have 1 meter which is required to change suppliers, once suppliers...

Right, Maybe my post was a bit long so here' the simple one : What can I put between the storage heater side of the heating mcb and the storage heaters to control with a timer the charging of the storage heaters. (Radio Teleswitch now removed by DNO) Thanks DFH101

How did you get on with scottish power? DFH101

Hi Guys, Would someone be able to advise on my queries, a bit long winded but hopefully will make sense. I am thinking of changing from Scottish power (Comfort Plus) to Scottish hydro (Economy 10 plan) This involves having the two meters and the radio teleswitch removed and a single...
