And the more panels you have, the more you move away from plug-in, the harder it is for you to take the kit with you if you move house, so even if someone is young enough to consider an investment with a payback period of many years, possibly into decades (with a looming cost of battery...

The hugely insurmountable problem with your straightforward idea is that unless specifically redefined, 'household' means people. It has no meaning whatsoever which involves a building, or part of a building, except insofar that living together (somewhere) is what makes a group of people a...

If that was a reasonable concern then would it be allowed?

It's a <bleeping> LIE.

Assuming worst-case winter water temperature, a target of 40°C (probably too low given how much it will cool down during the filling process*), and a typical volume of 200l, that's 40 minutes to fill the bath. OK. * Imagine running the heater for 1 minute, and putting 5l of water at 40°C into...

Because I've had 7kW-ish showers and I've had 10.8kW. Because I know that a 6kW shower can raise less than 3l/min of water by 30°C. Because I find a flow rate of <3l/min disappointing. Because I know that at a more realistic (but still pretty poor) flow rate in the 5l/m area, a 6kW shower...

I'm sure he did.

Quite so. Is this an example of a regulation written by someone who thinks he knows what is obvious but in reality doesn't know what he should? The specification defines neither "dwelling unit" nor "single" nor "multiple" which means those term can only be interpreted according to their...

So they think they have the power to usurp established dictionary definitions. OK. I guess they must be Humpty Dumpty. But that does not mean that that is the definition of household in any other context whatsoever.

Instead of ignoring vagueness in people's advice, try to improve precision.

I'm surprised it's even possible when Windows is running. Maybe when the pin-in-the-reset-hole popped open the CD tray she stuck a live Linux CD in, booted that, and deleted the directory that way.

MikkoLaine does not exist. Did that reply of his also contain a recommendation for a particular brand of spotlight? ;)

Maybe all houses should be built with service voids in the walls, deep enough to walk in.

You mean the police aren't going to form a Serious Solar Regulations Contravention Squad?

Where is that from?

So they've screwed up because they didn't know enough about what they were doing, which is fair enough - people can unexpectedly get out of their depth, it happens. But then they look someone in the eye and lie to them, and they think that makes them look better? What a dreadful thing to do.

The washing machine may well have a fault which is getting worse and is beyond economic repair. But if the RCD is tripping when it isn't plugged in than clearly you've also got another fault somewhere else. BTW - there's a good chance that the replacement machine will have an inverter...

Would whoever reported that please do me the courtesy of explaining why an opinion that users of a low-powered shower might be disappointed by its performance was so unacceptable to them that they wanted it removed.

Define "need". Or even connecting new equipment without any circuit changes at all?

I can understand that - have you seen vets bills for horses these days?
