It will be, it's already grossly oversized as it's been sized for instant hot water delivery. Wireless cylinder thermostats do exist, but unvented cylinders require a hard wired hi-limit thermostat, so the whole lot might as well be wired as a cable will be needed even if the temperature...

Some amount of testing and inspection will be required before a new consumer unit. Whether that involves a complete EICR depends on the size, age, history and observed condition of what's there. In any case, just having someone turn up and sling a new consumer unit in is likely to result in...

5 core flex for each valve, from the valve location to wherever the rest of the system will be located. Wireless thermostat receivers (or wired thermostats) will also need to be connected, as will a thermostat for the hot water cylinder. 5 core flex can be used for those as well, although they...

Sent from an Amazon warehouse, but actually purchased from Yes. Return it as defective. Also ask them for the UKCA and/or CE Declaration of Conformity - which either won't exist or will be a pack of generic lies. It's already failed just because of the paper label on the plug stating a 13A...

Impossible to know that. The new will very likely have different devices in it - RCBOs most likely instead of whatever is in the one you have got. The neutral / earth bars are likely to be in different places. The main switch may be on the opposite size. Cable entry locations will not be...

So what? Dimensions are irrelevant, there is plenty of space to fit any consumer unit there. How do you know? What difference does it make? If the wires need extending/relocating/replacing, whoever installs it will do that.

It must be, as the alarms have a battery backup, and the interconnect still works on battery only when the mains supply has failed.

For the UK, 3&E flat with brown L, grey oversleeved blue for N, black as the interconnect. Substantially the same as the UK, with the main variations being that their T&E has the CPC insulated green/yellow for the entire length and PVC insulated building wiring is not permitted.

For that box leave both switches on all the time. It only does the hot water, which will operate overnight. If you want extra hot water in the day, press one of the oval grey buttons to give it a boost for an hour. Storage heaters are controlled elsewhere, given that BX2000 box exists they are...

You need 2 zone valves, one for the heating and one for the new hot water cylinder. An entirely standard arrangement used in millions of homes everywhere. As for using - you turn the mixer shower on and hot water comes out of it. The cylinder is heated when it's needed by the thermostat...

AI slop which mostly creates stories some people might believe.

Stored hot water in a cylinder, either unvented if the cold supply is suitable, or pumped if not. Heated via your combi boiler. Certainly not, and even two of them is likely to be overloading the supply.

Fluorescent tubes of all types are obsolete. Don't spend any time or money on them.

The 3000 set is rated for 36 volts, and that is what that power supply provides. Whether they are 'dull' or not is unrelated, that's how they are designed.

Pretty much correct, and the reality is that that 1970s wooden cased fusebox should have been replaced several decades ago.

Instructions copied from some other switch instructions. Or it's AI generated slop. Or both.

Money laundering or other criminal coverups.

No. So the millions of properties that have pendant lighting will get a low rated EPC. As will those that have any other types of light fitting with G9, G4, GU10 and all the other styles of replaceable lamps, and all because someone might go and buy some inefficient incandescent lamps that...

Gravity and the fact it is fixed to the tray with silicone.

Phase balance is mostly irrelevant for the loads found in a domestic dwelling. However with a solar inverter you presumably want to actually use a majority of the energy being created, and if you only connect a single phase to the property loads you will only be able to use about a third of the...
