Not only are those things unknown, they will never be known.

Surge protection is recommended for most electrical installations. Plugging in a random adaptor which claims to have surge protection of some kind will achieve very little.

A combi boiler will tie you to gas forever, as all heat pumps and other electric heating options require a hot water cylinder. Combi also means zero options for using solar power for hot water. If two cylinders are not required, delete one of them. The existing boiler is 2x larger than it...

This relay needs to be in an enclosure to avoid live terminals being exposed.

MS Office for nowt is obviously a scam. It's all subscription based now anyway. Best case you might get some volume licensing key which could theoretically work for a while in some circumstances until it doesn't. Groupon in general is not necessarily a scam, but it's used by companies to...

It doesn't. Rated 200mA, no time specified. The only reference to 'continuous' is that: The current-limiting device shall permit 200 mA to be carried continuously. It also states: These socket-outlets are not necessarily suitable for the supply to electric dry shavers containing battery...

Very likely, it will disconnect the supply when it's hot. Cooling will take a while, some might need to be switched off for an extended time before they will work again. Also very likely. Things do not repair themselves. Change the lights to LED ones. Those halogen lamps and the transformer...

Who 'needs' this upgrade and why? Dig up the road and sections of the driveway, front garden and whatever else is in the way. Or just change the fuse. Depends on what cable is already there,

Not required and hasn't been for decades, and even when it was back in the 1980s, the regulations for doing so were based on entirely wrong information.

Only with the details of the wiring from the manufacturer or whoever designed it. The colours and numbers mean nothing on their own.

No. Members of schemes can only notify their own work. There is supposedly some 'third party notifier' effort that NAPIT did or possibly still does provide, but it was a pile of junk which pretty much no one signed up to and would be far more expensive and time consuming than just paying a...

That thing outputs AC for an obsolete halogen lamp. The LEDs require DC.

Anything still using BTUs is decades out of date and should be ignored. Same for anything that makes assumptions about what walls might be external or not. Some rooms don't have any external walls.

Looks like Tenby, and probably 1980s before they were obtained by Legrand.

In most cases, 'smart' anything is a solution looking for a problem.

There is no repair. That could be done but some of the tiles will need to be removed at the back as that style of sink as a small upstand at the back which tiles go down to. A new worktop.

This: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/DEBOX2.html or something similar on the end of the cable.

Network supply and the meter must be moved at the same time, which will involve the DNO and your energy supplier. Moving your consumer unit can be done at any time. If the supply is moved elsewhere you will need someone to install a suitable switchfuse and a cable from the new supply position...

Entirely untrue. To obtain cheap rates for electric vehicle charging with Octopus and others, the requirement is to have an electric vehicle, and in some cases an EVSE and/or vehicle which is compatible with their systems. Who installs the EVSE is unrelated.

Is that a proper Apple charger purchased from Apple? Or some knockoff piece of junk from some other source?
