Of course that is currently the case. The whole point of the feed in tariff scheme is to encourage people to invest their money in renewable energy to 'pump prime' the market. In 2 years the FIT rate has more than halved but the returns are fairly similar to the levels they were at the start due...

If you spent £100,000 on solar panels then you would be buying a hell of a lot of them. For a more realistic domestic figure we recently installed 3.5kWp of panels (14 panels) for £8 350. The customer should get income or electricity savings of over £32k over 25 years with the income being...

I work as a solar panel installer. Most solar panels will have performance guarantees as to how well they will perform over time. My recommendation would be to pick a well known manufacturer who is likely to still be around to back their guarantee in 25 years. Having said that the vast...

Thanks for the advice I unscrewed the immersion heater and rescrewed it in without the PTFE tape and managed to get it about a quarter turn further round and this seems to have stopped the leak and we now have some hot water :)

Hi Our boiler (HW and CH) stopped working yesterday so we tried to switch on the immersion heater in our hot water tank so that we at least have hot water until the RGI comes out on Friday but unfortunately it didn't work. As the neon light on the immersion heater switch comes on when it is...

I'm no electrician but I would say you can't use a supply to a Spa bath to connect in a light. I would break into the lighting circuits in the loft as you originally planned

What type of drill are you usings and what drill bit? You need to use a hammer drill with a masonary drill bit to drill inot the concrete or brick

I put a nail into a pipe once, the worst thing was just before I did it a made a comment to my brother to the effect of listen to this it sounds like I am hitting metal :oops:

I just got a strange look from the family after bursting out in laughter after reading that :lol:
