Its british gas who keep telling me parts cant be purchased anymore and its off the charts in effeciency...well its G Rated anyhow... boiler has been reliable so far, does take a while to heat the house up dunno if its because boiler power or microbore pipework to rads? but no complaints so far...

The old programmer wasnt capable of heating only which is why i was/am replacing it? Thanks for schematics though

Ahhh i was afraid of that - how can i tell if its gravity DHW or fully pumped? Thanks for quick response.

Hi all, moved into house 6 months ago and central heating system is old and i know boiler needs replacing (Boiler is a Baxi WM51/3RS) but it's working for now and i will do so when i get cash (aiming for next 12/18 months) i "believe" it's a gravity fed Y Plan 2 Valve system? not really sure...

Doorbell setup by oakc posted 29 Jun 2016 at 1:46 AM Excuse the shoddy labelling but that's how easy it would be, i don't mind having wiring "on show" either in garage it's only the hallway i'll want to try have no wires visible. how easy is it to actually get a feed from CU? i don't think i...

Slightly off topic - if wiring into the CU is not an option, what is better solution loop in from ceiling rose on lighting circuit or from a fused spur on socket circuit? if go down fused spur switch route will there be enough room to put the transformer in the back box or can you do this? with...

Thanks EPL - i've already bitten the bullet and going to try the 18v AC transformer but will keep that one in mind if this doesn't work (although not a good photo, it looks like a rust bucket.. lol)

Yeah ive checked those and they only have 15v or 18v output

Yes, it's american but thought it would still work with the right transformer.. Silly me thinkin they would be 16v transformer would be easy to get in uk *smacks head* the only reason it needs to be 16V chime/transformer is the ring pro doorbell only supports 16v-24v ac transformer/chime. Which...

Yeah but thats for 120v input not 240V

thanks for the quick response! Being only 12v, won't it mean it'll be underpowered or atleast make it quiet? also the main reason is to install this doorbell (i've being given one for "testing/reviewing")...

Hi all, i was hoping you could help - i'm replacing wireless doorbell with wired and i've bought a doorbell chime the Honeywell RCW3501N wired door chime that requires a 16v 10av ac transformer but i can't for the life of me find one!! (for 240v/uk anyway) The closest i've found is a 18v 10av...

Thanks for the quick responses!! I'm not in the new home yet so won't really know until i get in just "forward" planning lol... yeah house was built in 2002 so just before current wiring standards... i'll update post once i can get my hands on the wiring! :-) only reason i asked about pricing...

Hi all, i am looking to install these for home automation when i move into my new home: http://www.vesternet.com/z-wave-qubino-flush-dimmer However these devices require a neutral wire and the house is 13 years old so pretty certain it'll just be the 2 wire circuit, They "Can" be installed at...

ahh ok thanks - will get some photos taken and post them! :-)

Hi all, me being a pain again - i was wondering what the correct way would be to change my single gang switch that runs light + fan for downstairs WC so that i can replace it with double gang switch and use the fan + lights independently? i "believe" this is how it's currently wired...
