The prices are just random amounts just to find out out how the rates are worked out. Prices from EDF seem to have been quite good over the past few years and they only use english call centers which makes it a lot easier when trying to give a proper reading over the phone.

Used to be-- meaning at our old house. This meter has just one line to read.According to the bill we average 16 units a day. Family of three, washer on every other day, dishwasher each day, fridge and fridge freezer, tv and lights (now got energy saving bulbs everywhere) All appliances are aaa...

Not exactly about electrics but about the electric bill. Im with EDF for gas and electric and my electric bill has two rates on it based on how many units i use. The first 200@ say 10p then the rest @ say 4p. Does this mean that i wont get cheaper electric during the night time as it used to...

Either bung up the holes or catch the water in a tub and tip it back over the fence. He could easily have put the pipes to drain on his own land but chose to put it on yours. What could he say to the council if he does not like it? That you have stopped him dumping on your land and he wants to...

Does it mean the rinse aid/salt is empty and so is warning you during the cycle that it cannot add it to the wash?

Ive got a problem with my Tricity Bendix BK200 dishwasher. The dishwasher is a built in appliance with a front panel covering that matches the rest of the kitchen but it causes a problem with it hitting the d/w underneath and not letting the door come down fully. The panel is level with all the...

The heater pack should be behind the glove box. Remove the glove box and there should be a plastic box with an electrical connection on it. Get a stubby philips screwdriver, remove the two screws and lift off the resistor pack. One of the coils will have snapped off. Scap yards are best for...

Ive seen on the Bg website that they do a fixed price repair for 168 quid all in. It sounds an ok price but if my normal guy is only going to charge 200 quid all in i think id rather stick with him, at least he knows the boiler.

There is definatly a leak on it somewhere, ive got a tub of water to prove it :) He said to watch the pressure over the next few days as he turned it up to 1.5 cold (around 2 hot) and call him if it drops again. It seems easy enough access for the heat exchanger, a few screws to remove the...

After having the gas man back out to my Sime Friendly for a water leak from the main compartment it turns out it could be a pin hole leak in the heat exchanger causing the problem. The water was actually sat above the heat exchanger which led to the vent being checked for flooding but nothing...

Seems the boiler isnt fixed properly now. Left the heating on low over the past few days to prevent freezing while we were on holiday and came back to a cold house. I checked the pilot and it was on so i checked the pressure and it had dropped to below 1bar.I took the cover off expecting a leak...

I would just run a cable from the socket in the living room. Put a strip light on to a plug and just use the cable as an extension. Its not a fixed cable so it should not break any regulations about needing to be qualified to fit it. If your worried about anything fit an rcd to the plug socket...

Im not too sure on if they are connected to the ring main or just the circuit. There are only two strip lights and one (maybe going to be two) 500w light fitted to the cabling. The wiring is only around a metre or so from the fuse box and it goes straight into the back of there. The light only...

If you have air con there are no cables to come loose behind the controls, its all electronic. if the heater is stuck to either hot or cold only it could be the cogs sticking in the drivers footwell. On the left of the clucth is a white panel with four torx screws in it. Remove the three you can...

The pump came in a box marked 'ideal' not sime.i think we had the pump replaced two years ago but im not too sure, it might have been replaced with a dodgy one then as this one has made a big difference to the performance of the boiler.

With the pump out it sticks as it spins round. The water was pretty dark that came out the pump. The system has been cleaned with fernox, i think, then refilled with inhibitor.Guess it didnt get everything out. The boiler seems to work ok with giving hot water when everything works fine, might...

I think it must have been a cheap bulb supplied with the light as a new bulb has lasted this time. Its one of the five quid 500w lights from wilkos. Its wired into a pir sensor but the wiring was already there by the last owner.

Just had my heating fixed again this year. Nearly every year something goes wrong on it. This time it was the pump.On friday i noticed the rads were cold so i checked the pilot and it was still on so i though it was strange. I checked the tap and that too ran cold. I checked the manual and the...

I used a load of blue paper towel to insert the bulb, made it difficult to grip it but it did go in eventually.

Ive got two outside lights wired upto a pir sensor, its wired into a fuse in the garage but its not very bright with only 100w bulbs in each side. Ive removed one of the lights tonight and connected up a 500w floodlight in its place. The light worked fine coming on and off for about 20 mins but...
