If anyone is interested, the new bill started at 00000. So maybe there is a profit to be made getting a couple of pence from every electricity user...

Old post I know, but as OP was using Open Office he could have just exported the file as PDF in the first place... Help is usually a good place to look. :D

Thanks, 45yearsagasman - I'll have a look and see if there's enough space in the cupboard. I'll have to shift the C/H supply pipe around a bit, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Now I wonder if there'd be room for a Magnaclean as well. Or a Spirotech...

In my existing system I have gravity hot water and pumped heating. As seems to be normal, the open vent is tee'd off the connection into one side of the cylinder coil, and the cold feed is tee'd into the other connection to the coil. The pump is on the return, about two feet from the boiler...

Very impressive - now I need to convince the wife we need one! Just a little confused as to how the solar heated cylinder is connected into the normal one. You say "in tandem", so I assume it's something like header tank into 'solar' cylinder, then from top of there to the input of the normal...

Thought it would be something like them doing a test - he must have done the test at the meter terminals as it is outside in a box, and the isolator is inside a locked garage on the other side of the wall. Now I can move that bucket I put there to catch the electrons.... :roll:

Hi all Just had a new meter fitted, so before they were due to arrive I switched off the sensitive stuff like computers, etc. and then turned off the isolator and made a note of the reading on the old meter. When I got back from work, there was a nice new digital meter fitted, and a card...

All good points - I particularly like the idea of fitting it to an upright - this prompted me to consider fixing one end to an upright and a flange on the other end, or just one of holmslaw's brackets. There is a single socket here already and I think I will be able to extend the hole sideways...

Thanks for the reply - those are exactly the flanges I'd seen. As far as I can tell, they work by clamping the plasterboard between the flanges and the front plate when it is screwed into place. Although I'm sure they'd be fine for a switch, with a socket outlet the plugging and unplugging...

Keeping to the fused 3 gang as it's only going to have things like mobile phone chargers plugged into it - if anyone goes mad and plugs in three tumble dryers or something, the fuse will blow. I see what you mean about the brackets - great idea and, as such, so obviously flipping simple when...

Hi Problem: need to fix a 3 gang back box in an existing stud wall, but can only find the standard metal box in 3 gang - cannot locate a 3 gang dry lining box. Are they available anywhere? Alternatively (without hacking away a lot of board to fit a noggin) what can anyone suggest for...

Thanks for the prompt reply, that explains everything. I knew there would probably be a reason for it.

Whilst bleeding my heating system after removing a rad, I got to idly wondering if there is any reason why the expansion pipe doesn't go below the surface of the water in the feed tank. This would prevent any air being drawn back down it, but wouldn't cause any restriction to the expansion of...
