Just as an update to this, turns out it was condensation running down and sitting on the rope. The previous owner must have been burning some wet wood as there was a old solid creosote accumulation above the rope. As the condensation ran down the chimney and sat on top of this creosote, it was...

Hi, I have been having issues with my log burner. Approximately one in three times, when starting the burner, I get issues with dripping at the back of the flue. It seems to have a relationship when a previous heavy rain event has occured, but it only drips when the fire is started (i was...

Hi, yes, i think with Sunrays comments i am okay and understand the circuit better. Yes, its a simple single dimmer.

Thanks Sunray, yes effectively the dimmers are one way. I made a mistake here. The existing rocker is two way as i have another switch down the hall. Thanks for the help, and also to erickmarc.

Apologies, i should have been more specific. The dimmers have three wires, two go into L which i presume is the same as a COM on the rocker. The other single wire goes into L1. However, what has thrown me is the red wires also going into the L. I thought I would have three single inputs...

Hi. I have two dimmer switches and a fixed 2way switch in a 3 gang switch and would like to replace the two dimmers with the same fixed switch unit. These are Hamilton gridit two-way rocker modules to replace the Hamilton dimmers. As you can see in the images, the current signal switch to the...

Hi, Firstly, thanks for the help. You affirmed my thinking with the wiring. So i demantled the lamps and dids a continuity test. The existing red wire in B1 with the cyan arrow is actually dead. It might have been an old outside light that was on the corner wall that the previous owner...

Hi, My outside light stopped working, which consists of a light bulb either side of the front door. I removed the four gang switch faceplate and discovered a red wire has come loose. With a tester I identified that this is not live and presume it is the circuit for the switch and should be...

Thanks for the tips. I tried this and cant detect a difference in temperature either side of the pump with or without the pump on. Its just permenantly hot before and after the pump (even when no water is being drawn off the tank for hours). I did follow the vent pipe up towards the cold storage...

Hi, i followed the copper pipes from the Circulator 1 and it does not seem to return to the HW cylinder, it disappears through the floorboards in the direction of the hot water delivery pipes. All pipework appears to be copper, it changes at the kitchen extension to poly close to the kitchen...

Thanks, the timer is a good idea. I will investigate this to help reduce cost and noise. From what i see it doesnt pump back in a ring. Its just continually presurising the line ready for someone to open the tap. Very grateful for the feedback. Thank you.

Thanks for the quick reply. The kitchen was extended by the previous owners and is the furthest away, but all other taps are close to the hot water tank. Since this tank is located on the second floor the gravity feed is fairly good to the kitchen with the circulator 1 turned off. So if its...

Hi, I just moved into a new house (built 1996) and struggling to work out why I have two circulating pumps on a vented central heating system with open vented hot water cylinder. Circulator 1: Permanently running (even when the boiler is not running) and is hard wired to an on/off switch...
