To be fair I dont think that is a very good analogy, but there are plenty of people on various forums that will make that claim , either that or that it will invalidate a warranty . For many of us who know sod all about electrics and the laws that apply to it, it's a matter of conjecture which...

the claim is that it is dangerous practice, although i don't see why it should be so in my case as I have it hardwired to a wall outlet which in turn is connected to a switch. It was all done by an electrician as well

AS I understand it, it is common knowledge , however I will check the manufacturer before purchase

i haven't bought one yet as i am waiting unitl the prices come down in April/May when the new models are released

Oled TVs tend to be my preference and their power chords are all hardwired

its hardwired into the set as well as the wall outlet

I want a new wall bracket to be in the same position as the current one. How far forward is your TV from the wall?It must be quite a way forward if you have all that behind it. Originally I had in mind installing an LG G3 Oled, but they are designed to go flush against the wall, so the cables...

Unfortunately they have been painted over and on one particular wall that faces the weather the paint peels in sections( apparently a Zinsser primer should have been applied first ). Fed up with looking at it...

"When it was fitted, it should have been tested" It was fitted by another engineer before we had two extra rads fitted. He came back once more so maybe he should have checked the pressure then. Since then, he disappeared, and I had a hard time finding another who was familiar with these single...

"that the system capacity exceeded the ability of the current EV to absorb the expansion" that is what he was suggesting

Thank you. it did make me wonder, especially as I live in a hard water area on the south coast

My central heating engineer seems to think it may be necessary at some point in the future but thought the boiler would work fine for now after the service he carried out on it. The situation is as follows our boiler which is a rebadged Intergas combi ( Atmos) was installed about 12 years ago...

I was sent a link re finding a local tradesman if i needed one but when I logged in it disappeared. I say that because it might come in useful to me in future
