    Water Heater Controller

    I just had my boiler pack up & took 18 days to get it repaired. In the summer i would spend around £35pm for cooking & hot water with gas for 4 of us. My electric went up by the normal £90pm to £145 & would imagine most was down to the emersion. Always remember, it takes gas & other fuels to...

    Budget

    Doesn't matter which party runs the country, they got 4-5 years to screw what they can out of us. What incentive is that for long term solutions. Unfortunately i run myself as NO:1 & that's the important one.

    Budget

    I wonder what will happen with me. I rent rooms out in my own home & get £7.5K tax relief. But when i sell the house i a get CGT on what i have made. Will the sods tax me twice.

    New Boiler slow to heat radiators

    Sounds like it just wants a good bleeding. Remember to turn the hot rads down half a turn to push it towards the others.

    How many people have the better mcb screwdriver ???

    I think it was more that with a Philips/pozi/straight driver they can slip out of the mcb fuses screw. Dont get that with the above.

    Advice: Approach with Neighbours re: Tree

    I have phoned my council to check if there was any TPO's on 2 oaks in my back garden & all they wanted was house number & post code & they came back & said no tpo's within 500 met of that address. They normally have to be very old & big. Also, dont worry about the leaves. I find it best to wait...

    Glow worm 30sxi main heat exchanger just packed up so looking for a new system boiler for 12 rads & 200lt water tank

    Glow worm 30sxi main heat exchanger packed up & £600 + fitting to repair, it's time for a new boiler. I was looking at vissmann, but they want to know the ins & outs of a ducks bum. To save money i wanted to fit it myself & pay a gas engineer to test & certificate it. Any boiler recommendations ??

    How's your luck with Premium Bonds?

    Got £200 this month "2X100" which puts me on a yearly average 8.2%. better than the banks, plus tax free & a chance of a bigger one. That is with 25k with them. I'm happy. Its quite nice on a win as Alexa wakes up & blows a trumpet & says i have won. Using Bond checker.

    How many people have the better mcb screwdriver ???

    I dont say correct. But how many have the better MCB screwdriver. ?? You defiantly get a better torque on the screw with this one.

    Consumer unit quotes

    Ok, might be less up north. But i assume that's for 2 people. I always had a mate/apprentice/labour with me for doing "In this case" earthing & fetching materials cleaning up after the works are finished. I am also assuming his price includes a test before fitting the new board & extra if faults...

    Electricity cables in cavity next to door frame

    OK, but if i was the builder i would kick the sparky off site. There are lots of guide lines although not a rule, for good reason. That is just laziness.

    Wiring for oven

    Not if run in a wall "like the post is saying" it has a lot less of an amperage rating as any heat cant be disbursed so easily like an open clipped cable that can be classed for a 47 amp rating.

    Wiring for oven

    I regularly have my grill & oven on at the same time. Best way to quickly brown things & get great roast potatoes.

    Electricity cables in cavity next to door frame

    Its not electrical regs, its building regs & bad practice. There is no electrical regulation that forbids an installer installing a cable within a cavity wall. However BS 7671, The Building Regulations 2000 for England and Wales (2004 edition) and Mandatory Standard 3.10 of the Scottish...

    Wiring for oven

    Your right on the boarder line at 41.66 amps. 6mm is rated at 41amps. I would run the hob only of the existing 6mm cable "if it is that?" & bring another 2.5twe cable in for the oven 14.54amps & put it on a 20amp fuse with 20 amp switches at the kitchen end "Not fused spurs". Some might say you...

    Wiring for oven

    Many hobs are around 6kw-25 amps ovens are max 3kw-12.5amps but quite likely 2kw-8.3amps so hopefully 37.5amps So if you have a 6mm TWE cable coming from the board with a 40amp fuse & on to a 45amp switch in the kitchen that switches an outlet below the worktops, at that point you want to fit a...
