Having just started to decorate the hallway and removed the radiator ( bypass one ) the one with no trv on it, am i right in thinking it is still alright to run the central heating should it get cold as long as i always have at least one radiator open at all times.

Thanks James, as all the rest of the radiators will be running continuously whilst the heating is on is their any need to remove any of the TRV from any radiator.

Cheers for the quick reply John, i was just a bit uncertain as every where i have checked states that this radiator without the TRV has to be left on all the time for flow round the system.

At the moment i am in the process of decorating our hall way and landing and have removed the radiator for the time being, this radiator has no TRV fitted but as the nights and mornings are starting to get a little colder i am being told by the boss that she wants the heating back on. Can i...

Yes the central heating goes off about 11pm but would this have an affect on the lighting, its wired into a seperate MCB for the timer etc. and its gas central heating ?

Have not asked any neighbours as dont really bother with any of them, lights seem more duller when the gas central heating is on even though the wiring for the boiler timer etc is on a seperate circuit so the electrician said that could be ruled out as the problem. All the family totally agree...

Still having same problem, had electrician call as i have said and he said everything ok, so what should i do now ??, call our electricity supplier and have them check their side of the meter and will this cost ? Any suggestions would be most appreciative as i am getting so frustrated as to why...

He just checked the voltage whilst oserving the lights, we do not have an immersion only a combi boiler, our shower is not electric, and this problem we have happens without any electrical surge due to the kettle or cooker.

Had an electrician call and look at the problem, he checked inside the cu and said everything inside was ok no loose wires and no shared neutrals etc., checked voltage which was 237 on the incoming wires and also the same at the light switches. he removed a couple of light fittings and switches...

RF Lighting, yes it only affects the down stairs lighting which are ceiling lights and wall lights which take G9 halogen bulbs whereas upstairs the are the normal pendant light fittings. Stardanny, you say outside light :idea: could it be this but i do not exactly know what your reply means...

I wonder if this could be our problem as we had a new Hager consumer unit fitted about 6 or 7 years ago and its funny but never thought about it until now but when an upstairs bulb blows the breaker trips but when a downstairs bulb blows the breaker does not trip and its the downstairs lights...

I will get onto that straight away i suppose i was hoping it would just sort its self out, silly i know when electricity is involved so do you suggest an electrician or our electric supplier ?

Been monitoring this over last couple of months and always seems to happen when it is raining or damp outside

That is what its like a fixed dull brightness that does not alter but stays constant but like i said it is not always like this as they are sometimes a normal brightness. With regards to the loft lighting theory you said about, i did add a loft light myself a while back refering to instrustions...

We live in a terraced street with an underground supply the lights dont dim but are just dull normal other electrical equipment in use, tele fridge washer etc. Never asked the neighbours if they are affected or not.

Wonder if anyone can shed any light ( excuse the pun ) as to why sometimes our house lighting is ok, nice and bright yet sometimes is very dull. Do we have a problem somewhere.

Cheers

I am wanting to add a light to the under stairs cupboard and was wondering if the following would be ok ?? I have bought a small strip light with its own built in switch so no additional switch would be required and in the cupboard we have a FSU that the intruder alarm comes from via the...

Anymore ideas, anyone ??

Hi all, we are in the process of changing all our internal doors for the white moulded six panel type and have found them quite reasonably priced at Wicks etc but the problem we are having is finding one to fit our under the stairs cupboard which we need one of 72" x 24" but can not find any...
