But don't you then have the problem that the cables to the appliances are then undersized for a circuit with a 40 amp fuse?

I currently have a double oven fed from a 45A MK cooker control unit with integrated 13 amp socket. The CCU is fed by a 10mm2 cable and protected by an RCD and 32A MCB about 8m from the CCU. I’m planning my new kitchen and have chosen the appliances. The gas hob will change to an induction hob...

I know this is an old thread but it was one of the threads I came across when looking for an answer to whether a Nest would work with OpenTherm and S plan : The answer is : Yes, it does on the 3rd Generation Nest! It may do on other nest versions also. but I only have the 3rd gen and so that is...

Thanks Tony. I'll do just that. Tim

Hi, Currently got the timber floor up in my ground floor flat as it is being refurbished. I discovered that the gas supply comes into the building through the front of my flat in steel pipe, running in the floor space. It runs to my meter then continues not only off to the other 3 flats but...

My mother just had an external pir security light fitted to the house. As far as I can tell the electrician has taken a feed directly from the fuse box. Not sure if it is on its own fuse or on an existing lighting circuit. Can anyone tell me if regs. require an isolation switch or not?

Apologies, it was mogget who wrote "It soesen't seem stupid until some RGI lacerates their hands fixing a boiler that has a load of sharp self tapping screws in an unexpected place." But I think you have now answered my question, and I appreciate that it is a well formed argument "no RGI can...

So you're making an assumption about how the plate would be fitted. Whatever you or others think of the Baxi Barcelona, it is still a very efficient boiler and I would not want to just throw it away because of a 2mm rust hole that could be effectively sealed. The question I'm trying to get...

Ad hoc agreed, but why is it stupid ? The front panel of the air box is a large plate over a large hole with a heat resistant sealing strip round it, and held on with four Dzus fasteners. You may not like the idea of repairing the boiler, and I could well imagine it is not allowed, but from...

ianmcd & mogget, thanks for your replies. Actually for the last 7 years its been trouble free. Prior to that it was problematic but by the time it was 5 years old it had most of the original parts replaced :) Anyway the hole is very small - less than 2mm dia. - Can one seal the hole...

I noticed a bit of water dripping from the bottom of my Baxi Barcelona. I took off the outer casing and removed the outer cover of the air box, this exposes the fan and condensate trap chamber. The water is dripping from the side manifold seal down the o/s of the heat exchanger and has...

I have a clear plastic bag over it at the moment taped with duck tape. I assume this is safe. Out of interest how regularly do they change these meters?

BGSMJack - Surely if an At risk notice is served, it is up to the owner of the failing component to rectify it, in this case the meter isn't owned by me. - I have a box to put the meter in I just can't physically fit it as you can see.

Thanks for all the responses and sorry for not replying earlier. The issue is still not resolved. I contacted EDF who said it was SGN's responsibility. They came and had a look and said to move it up so that a box could be fitted over it they'd need to replace the steel pipe coming in from...
