wiring

Dear all Novice to plumbing and electrics. Interested in getting a smart heating system for my flat, and after considering Hive, Nest and Tado, narrowed my choices down to Drayton Wiser or Honeywell Evohome. I was going to go for the Drayton Wiser, and was planning how to install it. My flat...

Hi I'd be grateful for some help on rewiring my heating/hot water system to accommodate Hive please. It's not a straightforward install as the hot water and central heating controls aren't on the same backplate at the moment. This is the present setup: Boiler is a Worcester Bosch 40cdi with...

Hi, I've just moved into a new home and found that the living room has been left without a light fixture in the ceiling. We're on an extremely tight budget and I'd like to fit the pendant myself if possible, but the wiring in the ceiling has me baffled - I'm a newbie - as there appear to be...

I am working on a product for my GCSE Product design controlled assessment, and I was wondering if it is possible to create a circuit with a rechargeable battery which can take input through a micro-USB socket. Does anyone know if this is possible and how I could do it, if so it would be a...

Hello all I’ve just moved into a new house and I have bought a Nest smart thermostat to install. I’d like to try and install this myself with your help in order to save myself a bit of cash. There is an existing wireless Salus stat already connected to the combi boiler. See photos. Please can...

Few people already posted about installing Nest heatlink and termostat to replace Danfloss tp9000 and TS2 room sensor system. So I thought this going to be a straight job, but I've got some surprises. Basically when I removed the tp9000 programmer in the kitchen I've got 3 brown neutrals on N ...

Hi all, Most of the light switches in the house where there is more than one switch operate not how you would expect, as in the switch nearest to the light should control it so I started to fix these yesterday. The utility has a pair of switches. Unfortunately I got distracted when changing...

Hi, I'm trying to wire Hive 2 to my existing boiler which is a Halstead Best 60 Gravity Boiler. I've installed new wiring which is: 3 core cable from the spur 3 core cable from the pump 5 core cable from the boiler I've wired it up as I think it should be but 'Hot Water' on it's own doesn't...

I'm having a new kitchen in the near future and want to understand the electrical side of the installation before I get an electrician involved so that I’ve got decent idea of what to expect. I’m going to be having the following and have either got their specific loads, or one of a similar...

Hi All, I have a Galaxy Dimension 96 installed and set up which is fully operational apart from the external bell boxes. The two bell boxes are both Pyronix, Different models hence only one has the ability to disable the back light. I am able to wire them to either the main panel or to a...

Hi all, I am hoping to have a series of isolating switches in my kitchen as per the image. The difficulty is that the ring circuit cable goes out socket 1 straight through the ceiling and reappears in socket 2, and I dont really want a sparky ripping up carpets and floorboards to re-route it...

Hi, im fitting new kitchen units but keeping my electric oven and ceramic hob. On taking them out i can see 6mm t n e surface clipped coming from the ccu above, it goes straight into the hob connection , but then the oven flex is in there aswell ! Is that OK ? It looks dodgy to me, i thought...

Last month I moved in to a new house, brand new floor, wiring, kitchen, ceiling etc. essentially everything was replaced. Problem is, there is no master socket installed, but there is a cable coming in along the wall from the outside, that looks like phone/Ethernet cable I have been trying to...

Quick electrical question I currently have a floodlight outside wired into a fused spur which has been taken from a socket many years ago. I've recently had two more flood lights added (mrs not me!!), everything on LED so not an issue with load. When the builder put the lights up he ran...

Hi all, We have the chance to buy an unused Bosch HBM13B251B double oven from my son and his Fiancé. They bought it (unused) for their new house, but it won't fit their units and the oven didn't come with any electrical wiring etc. The manual mentions using the supplied electrical mains...

Firstly, I'm not going to attempt to do any rewiring my self - but I do have a Gas Safe plumber on the job currently (waiting for an internal pipe that is leaking a bit), and I want to get informed on our situation so when he comes back we can get it sorted asap. I have a Y plan heating setup...

Hi Guys, I am going to be installing a CCTV system on my property this week, though i have been skeptical on how to hide the wiring on the external brick wall. I do not want to recess the wires into to wall or through the cavity. I would just prefer to cable clip the wires on the brick wall...
