    Hive

    Morning. I have just had Hive installed by British Gas, and I must say, I love it. Easy to use and actually useful. I have invested in a few light bulbs and a plug socket. I am wondering though, does Hive have any solid plans for future products other than light bulbs and sensors? It is very...

    Bathroom Sealant

    Unvented Domestic Hot Water System

    Hi I have lived in my house for a year now, and the boiler needs servicing, which is fine. But what about my hot water cylinder which is in the airing cupboard along with my 'ideal' boiler.
