Where the connecting cables between the units would run along the side of the house, they will come very close if not almost on top of my satellite sky cables. Will the sky tv signal be affected with the a/c cable?

I actually don't have an aerial connected to my TV as I never watch live tv. I only record using sky and with a freeview recorder(which has tv aerial connected to it) which will sit over 2m from air con unit. The sky box etc connects to tv via HDMI cables. Will this set up have a potential...

This is the picture from the manual I am referring to. I have re-measured and realised I could get away with 85cm between tv and internal unit. A bit confused about the outdoor unit and antenna, do they mean a normal tv aerial that is normally on the roof or the aerial connection...

Got the supplier to send me the installation manual for this unit. Something is concerning me. It says that the internal unit must be at least 1m away from the tv. Where my proposed a/c unit would go, it is only half a meter from the tv. It also says the external unit should be at least 3m...

Got an email reply from the company selling this unit, they say what you said SimonH2 that "chord must not go into the cavity". I don't like the idea of wrapping the extra chord behind external unit, concerned it would flap about in wind and be rather unsightly. So think it maybe better to run...

Thanks guys, though I would rather this thread didn't turn into a debate about the benefits of air con. I am especially interested if anyone has installed a system like this. It doesn't look to me as if the pipes are copper - is it a flexible material that would be very difficult to kink...

Am seriously considering getting a split a/c unit installed. According to this website these can be installed by a reasonably completent DIY'er http://www.dry-it-out.com/ECO1206SQ Any thoughts?

JohnW2, the heater is permanently wired in. I can change it to a 2kw heater by use of a switch inside the fan heater though. If doing that, it would take the load up to 21.7A. If I wish this option should I replace with a 25A MCB?

The fan heater is connected to the same circuit as the 3kw immersion heater. That means it would be drawing a current of around 17A if both appliances were on at the same time. The MCB is only 16A, so I assume it would trip it both were on. Yes, you have spotted the weakness of this set...

Got a double pole switch with integrated 13A fuse. Attached this switch in parallel to existing circuit in cupboard adjacent to bathroom. Used 10A, 2 core flex to connect existing circuit to new double pole switch to fan heater. Got fan heater running perfectly at 1kw. Heats up...

ban-all-sheds, do you really think it is appropriate to criticise others providing advice considering YOU aren't actually providing any? You have an awful lot to say except actually providing instruction on how to do this job. One could wonder why....?? We are all waiting for your...

Efficiencyman, thanks for your response. From double pole switch, I am to connect the RCD switch, then the FCU and finally the electric heater? Is this correct? Ban-all-shed, I do honestly appreciate your concern for my safety. Please remember though that this is a DIY forum and people can...

No one knows answer to above question?

Spoke to the tradesman again. He said the paint should last 3-5 years depending on weather. He offered two options. 1) One coat of dulux 2) An undercoat, then an overcoat. Advice?

Thanks, Ok, just to clarify, do I need to fit an RCD or 13A fuse? Or can I just connect the electric heater to the double pole switch?

BUMP! No one knows answer to this question? :?

thanks, learning with every post here. If I were to replace the MCB with a 20A one, would this be suitable? http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/CM7120B.html According to the website this should fit pre-2008 CU's.
