Be interested to know why you don't trust Which magazine? As far as I can make out they survey thousands of people about their experience of whatever boiler they have, and draw a judgment based on that? Isn't that as good as an objective on the view on the thing as you are going to get?

Dan, what boiler do you have in your home?

1. Need to wait for exact figures from electrician. 2. Low insulation resistance (assuming it's low enough to worry about) probably should at least be investigated (and rectified as necessary) 3. Aluminium and rubber cables need to be taken out and rewired.

RCBO? MCB?

So what boiler do you have in your house?

I was planning on doing a tapestry

Well, he said that that's what he generally installed. He said he used to do Worcester, but he reckons the electronic control panel is too complicated for people to figure out. He says Vaillant is simpler, same level of performance. He reckoned Vaillant and Worcester were like BMW and...

So, what do you have in your house?

If so what do you make of it?

I've been recommended one such boiler for the house. My friends have all got Worcesters.

6-8 inches, there are no plugs in the skirting boards. What are you thinking? The house is 1930s with a 1980s extension.

Removed.

Cheers for that, I'm seeing a few more electricians tomorrow, so I'll see what they throw into the mix.

An electrician who I spoke to this afternoon said just that. I mean he gave me two choices. Test the sockets again and try to identify the areas giving the low resistance readings, before replacing the fusebox. Or just replace the fusebox, which needs replacing anyway, and then do the...

Got a similar recommendation off another forum: " I have 5 bed 3 bathroom 3 storey house. I turn the hot tap on and hey presto hot water. I have 3 thermostatic showers, 1 bath, 5 sinks & 2 outside taps. Don't understand people that seem to think cylinders are the best thing since sliced...

Useful, I had someone round today, an electrician who reckoned that the person taking the readings most likely didn't connect all the plugs and appliances (e.g. unscrewing lightbulbs, fittings were very dusty with no finger marks). I mean, if all the readings mean is that someone didn't do...

Not many people talk about the 'Atag' - whats it got that the others don't have?

Sure, I'll give you some figures, though the report wont be written for a week or so. Regards

I asked the guy, he wasn't adamant that I should, and he certainly didn't volunteer the suggestion, but he agreed that it might be a good idea to do.

Just had an electrical safety inspection done of the house. Been told that in various places circuits have low insulation resistance ratings (this is going to be rated as a 2 - serious concern, doesn't need addressing immediately). Also informed that the circuits are generally old...
