    Solar panel/system earthing help needed.

    The change over switch has an override on it to go to either mains or inverter, but with this switch the battery has priority & when the battery gets to a pre-set low voltage it then switches back to mains until it reaches a hi pre-set voltage, then back to battery.

    Bathroom Extract Fan Grille

    Inline fans tend to be better & quitter, but the worst thing on reducing air flow is flexible ducting. You will get nearly twice the flow with 100mm soil pipe. Laugh! we had a customer was complaining about steam & condensation in her bathroom, so we fitted an inline 6". Worked a treat, but then...

    Neighbour getting smells from our extractor fan?

    If you do it a better way & duct it through the outside wall, all neighbours will get it. A ridiculous way around it is ducting it up a lined chimney if you have one or an external pipe up the wall, like restaurants have to do.

    Generator advice needed - thinking of buying one for a small bungalow

But i was surprised at how many good looking ones on Facebook at good prises. Good luck. PS: Hyundai is another good make. I...
