    Central heating sludge filters, auto bypass v/v, filters?

    That's the big question. 400 off would be quite useful but despite competitive market conditions, the capital cost is still quite considerable. Even though I can get good discounts at the wholesalers I really can't afford a boiler replacement just now, as only last year had a showerroom...

    Installer bodge ups.

    Good value occupancy sensors.

    They look OK too, thanks. It's for my Dad. He's 83 and, although I pay his energy bills, he's a bit too economical for his own good with the lighting and heating, I swear he can smell a light on at 300km. He gets up at night and will fumble through to the loo in the dark. He has fell quite a...

    Digging out shallow underfloor voids
