    Cost of running dishwasher

    I don't think that is the case. Gas SC is lower. When the small energy firms went bust a few years back, the Electric SC was increased, Thus Gas users and non Gas users would pay the same amount to compensate. Gas SC is about 30p/day for my region

    Cost of running dishwasher

    I guess new builds at the time put the heating device/storage in the middle of the building. I think the regulation is that pipes should be lagged for 3m from the tank. (edit: my phone says 1m) Hotels of course have a 'ring'. Where water is constantly pumped around the ring and back to the...

    Adding outdoor light to old style 2way light switch (strapper). Can’t get new light to function correctly

    Best off connecting it to a socket circuit, via a 13A FCU. You will then have a live and netural available at the same location. If you have a black or blue junction in the back box of the light switch, it maybe possible to do it as you are attempting

    Cost of running dishwasher

    Having insulation can be annoying, as said. You start drawing the water. It gets warm. So you put the plug in expecting some hot water to follow shortly after, however all you get is a sink full of luke warm water, and have to empty it, and start again.

    I didn’t know 10mm micro bore was used for taps in uk. Personally I thought it was the norm to run the tap to get hot water before starting a machine.

    Every couple of years we have this discussion lol I have a very old dishwasher that is designed for hot feed only. And a more modern 2012 Bosch that is hot feed only. Hot feed is perfect for them as they run hotter that a cloths washer

    Another ring main extension question

    why don't you put the junction (or socket or blank) above the cupboard. You won't see it. A socket May even be useful for extractor fan or lights. But a double blank is easier to make 6 joints Maybe use Wagos

    How to connect a light switch with to 2 way

    2 way means that 2 switches can turn the same lamp on and off. (Like a switch at the top and bottom of a stair case). These would have wires in terminals 1 and 2. What you may have is 2 gang, which turns 2 lamps on and off? (in which case only 2 terminals are used) You have a combination of both!

    You could get special inductive load light switches, so I would like to think the testing requires and includes that.
