I'm not exactly Jamie Oliver, there's little chance of 2 burners being used on full blast simultaneously, let alone all 4 and the oven being used at the same time! :shock:

I found him on Yellow pages and I know other people that have used him for work and been happy. So I'm actually a bit taken aback at what he's said needs doing. I've found another electrician to come and quote so I'll see what he says. Thanks very much for giving me this information. I had...

Many thanks for this. An electrician came round to look at it today and he said he would need to run a separate circuit. His reasoning was because the the 3.5kW oven and 7.4kW hob added up to nearly 46A. Unfortunately I wasn't home when he came round so couldn't question it. Out of interest I...

Hi, We're about to replace our kitchen and would like to go over from a gas hob to an induction hob. We currently have an AEG single oven which can draw 3.5kW (due to the pyrolytic cleaning function). The cabling is 10mm and is connected to a 32A breaker in the consumer unit. The...

Thanks for the offer. At the moment British Gas seem to think they can resolve the issues I'm having. As a result they're going to fit a new boiler pump, heating pump and ACB on the BM2000. This was against the advice of Gledhill who said none of the above would work. It is based on a...

The issues with the BM2000 and Suprima have been on-going since we moved in nearly 3 years ago. I've got British Gas homecare, and numerous engineers have commented on the low store temperature and said the boiler couldn't supply the temperature demanded by the store. I don't think the system...

Hi, I currently have a Boilermate 2000 (BM185) Thermal store attached to a Potterton Suprima 60L in my town house. I've noticed recently that the boiler goes through phases of continually being called for heat even though the store temperature is above the satisfied temperature. As the...

I've not tried to remove the seal at all. I would say with the seal removed it would sit flush with the worktop. The seal hasn't compressed much at all since tightening up.

Hi All, I'm just in the process of fitting a VIA640C Induction hob into my new kitchen. The hob has 4 spring clips around the side which push against the cutout in the worktop. It also has 4 plates which screw onto the bottom of the hob, and then more screws which push up against the...

To be honest I've given up with them. One of the responses I received was as follows: I responded saying that I needed the information ahead of the oven actually arriving so the electrician could install any necessary wiring ahead of the kitchen installation commencing. I also commented that...

I got the following response back from Bosch in response to my direct questions back to them: I'm now just going to get an electrician round to take a look, but I'd just like to say thanks to all who responded here. Much Appreciated :)

Thanks for the extra info. I'd already responded immediately regarding the type of supply the oven needs. When I look at what I'd e-mailed them yesterday I had put a several discreet questions. I've no idea why I only got a partial response.

Bosch have told me that the oven has a total connected load of 4.4kW. However, they've omitted to mention whether it needs a 32/16 or 13A supply.

I'm going to try and find out more about the Bosch oven, so will call Bosch tomorrow. The Indesit hob has plenty of information and the maximum power it will draw is 7kW. I'm going to get all the information on the cooker before I decide how to proceed either DIY or having a professional...

The oven is a Bosch HBM13B150B and Bosch's website and downloadable guides give very little information about the applicance's electrical requirements.

Yes it's a freestanding cooker.

Hi All, I've currently got a freestanding electric cooker & hob which is connected to a dedicated outlet behind the cooker. In a couple of weeks we're installing a new kitchen, and we're going to have a built-in oven and a separate induction hob. This will mean two sets of electrical...

Thanks for the quick reply - I'd always get someone qualified to look at it. My main worry is that I'd get told that the boiler is unserviceable and/or the necessary parts are not available. The missus is keen to get rid of it because she wants the boiler out of the kitchen so she can have a...

Hi... I've got a problem with my Glow worm Fuelsaver Complheat 80. It's completely stopped heating water and the radiators. The boiler comes on as usual and you can hear the pump running, but it doesn't even try to fire the ignition. I took the cover off and it talks about 4 LED's that...

Hi, Thanks for the reply... The of the showerpump is a Salamander "Right Pump" RSP50 1.5 Bar twin impeller. The hot supply comes from the output of the hot tank, and the cold supply comes from the cold tank (which is up in the loft). The feed has been taken from the cold pipe which...
