I have 2 identical eton alarms installed in two properties. Is it possible to use the same fob to activate and deactivate each alarm or do I need to carry around two chunky fobs?

Madrab, That's correct the plug is not used for anything as there is no power socket near by. I stood around whilst the cyllinder was being serviced last year and the engineer explained to me that if it ever stopped working i.e. heating water I just need to run an extension lead to the plug and...

We have a 150 litre megaflow about 10 years old on our commercial property. We have to use the main spur switch to heat the water each morning for a few hours when we come in at 9am and take it off around 11am. Is it possible to install a wired or wireless thermostat so that it can be...

When I last did this, I had to put in an engineers code after opening the alarm control box and something about opening it in a certain way or the corner screw doing something to activate/deactivate the alarm??? sorry cant remember exactly but the engineer (prob now buried or retired) told me at...

I know if I open the battery cover / control panel it will trigger off the alarm. How would I get the engineers code as I did it once but haven’t written it down? Also are there engineers who still service this old alarm? What would it cost to change the battery and have it tested? Based in...

I have a scantronic alarm installed in the 1980s. Hasn’t been service for 20 odd years. I changed the battery in the alarm panel maybe in 2000, can’t quite remember. System has been fine til now although the external sounder battery is probably dead. Anyway the internal sounder went off...

Some of u Some of you are really over thinking by this. It’s not a wind up as I’ve seen it for myself. Gas was being used for regular heating and hot water. A direct debit was being taken (but I need to a certain exactly whether this was a low amount covering just standing charges (because...

Clearly I’m not talking about the meter reader here. Logically, the systems are sufficiently sophisticated to work out that following a genuine meter reading by a reader (and not a customer reading) the figures have not changed in years. Why do you even think that British Gas is not remotely...

Gas was being used but the meter was not working so not recording any increase.

I was expecting that response from you. So no blame on the supplier who visited every month or so for 5 years and reported the same reading and the company’s systems are so antiquated that they couldn’t realise something is wrong and continued to take a fixed payment. Ok then. As I...

Please read my original post again. The meter reading has been the same when I looked at historical bills. The fact that a meter reader would visit the property on a regular basis should have alerted the company if it wasn’t working. Not everyone looks at and understands meters, just...

A widow has approached me for advice. She doesn’t speak good English. Her gas meter has not been working for a number years. I’ve tried to help out now and again as she has two young children. Her late husband would previously manage the affairs of the household so she is not all clued up...

Not sure anyone has actually explained how a certain heater actually works though.

Can someone please explain to me how curtain heaters work, don’t they waste heat by allowing it to go out the door when opened? Do they consume a lot of energy?

What is the significance and purpose of this?

My commercial meter was showing a solid red led on the on the 10000 on imp / kvarh - any idea what that would mean. It’s not been on since. The one next to it 10000 imp / kWh intermittently flashes red.

I would suspect most of them are from 1999 yes. One or two were changed to more recent ones probably due to faults.
