If an EV fits, with the way you use a car, then that's fine for you. Don't assume everyone can effectively limit their range, or have access to a home charge point, or even any charge point when they might desperately need one, or can even plan their journeys ahead of time, so they can ensure...

Is that a full system service, or do the just check the boiler is operating safely? Dependant on your pipe layout, fitting a filter can be done DIY, in a leisurely afternoon, at a cost of £50-ish.

Two reasons for that - EV's were heavily subsidised, to encourage people to buy them, then to get range, they are much heavier/do more damage to the road surface. Now you pay, more in line with ICE. No, of course not, but I can nip to a garage, and fill up in five minutes, no waiting. Even if...

Many boiler manufacturers insist on one be fitted, for their warranty. They can safeguard your boiler, but only if you have a poorly maintained system, lacking inhibitor. I make a point, as I have always done since original install, of looking after my system, and checking the inhibitor level -...

A boiler is a single load point, and so could only be run from a single source point. On modern boilers, the pump is fed/powered by the boiler.

I don't sit there for hours, watching it, but on those occasions I have checked it, it is always within those bounds. Some small variation, is unavoidable, due to my own loads turning on and off, though less so if measure at the CU, which I never have bothered.

A rock solid 240 to 242v here. 230v oven lamps, last no time at all, if they are not marked 240v, no point to buying them.

Think of just towing to a field, in the UK - where, how do you recharge?

Despite checking with Chameleon's 'check if your meter are suitable', before buying the used IHD7, I have not been able to get it to connect at all, and despite Octopus arranging with the meters, to accept the GPUID. After numerous email exchanges with Octopus, ending with my pointing out to...

However, if you actually measure it, it is in fact 240v. Fit a 230v incandescent lamp, and you can expect a short life from it.

Maybe here too..

You start, by deciding where you want them/where works best for you. Then you compromise on the layout, depending upon what is practical, and possible.

What sort of stat? If a wireless one, is it within range/how are the batteries?

Which would have to be an LCD(isplay), if on batteries, which would mean turning a light on, to see the time.
