    Economy 7 confusion

    That Newlec timer/switch will need to be left switched to "timed" for the offpeak to work - also worth checking the times it's set to actually line up with your offpeak tariff. The boost button utilises the 24 hour supply to boost the heat if you were to run out of hot water, typically limited...

    Hot water direct to solar panels

    They said they've already got PV. Eddi, Immersun, Solar iBoost all do immersion controllers. If thinking of an EV charger in the future then Eddi is already setup to work alongside the Zappi, etc. Had a client in the past with an Immersun and an EV Charger (can't remember brand but it was...

    My favourite ! half moon plaster up light

    https://www.editlighting.com/edit-ealing-ceramic-wall-light.html These you can just hang off of two fixings. The up/down ones are better, you wire up the lampholder part and the plaster part just slots over the top. https://www.editlighting.com/edit-bexley-up-down-plaster-wall-light.html

    Smoke detector with separate backup batteries?

    I've read through that article a few times before. I'd argue that that entire section (particularly the final sentence) kind of leaves it open for interpretation that they're referring to the battery powered only detectors. We've only been fitting the 3016's since the introduction of the...

    Smoke detector with separate backup batteries?

    Have you a source for that? Everything I've read stipulates the battery must be sealed/tamper proof if the detector is battery powered only.

    Smoke detector with separate backup batteries?

    Sealed/tamper proof batteries only required for battery powered only alarms. I second the 3016, the backup battery is rechargeable so in theory would only need access in 10 years when the detector is due for replacement anyway.

    Wire Pump to Diverter Valve ‘Brown’ or use a relay?

    Only issue I can think of is that the pump will be pushing on the valve for a few seconds until it opens up fully.

    What a mathematical error!!!!

    More like measure once, join six times! Usually if we're pacing a couple of us would do it and take an average. Been a bit off a few times but usually the other way. 37m is alot! Now I think of it the last run of SWA I pulled in ended up about 6m short on a short run of about 50m. The digger...

    Help pricing storage heater job

    Quantums aren't the worst to fit. The 24h supplies required range from 400w-1300w (due to booster elements). The biggest (QM150) is a 2 man lift. If you're serious about the distance then I'd say a sack barrow or even a wheel barrow is essential as you're talking probably 30 packs of bricks (and...

    Oldest domestic dimmer switch

    I've got to remove a couple of those soon from a commercial property, unsure if they still work as the switch wires have long been removed!

    Aico 3000 series smoke alarms,audio link.

    I think the OP means using the Ei168RC wireless bases instead of the Ei3000MRF modules.

    Cable for connecting induction hob

    We generally use 4mm or 6mm HO7 if the oven/hob isn't supplied with it's own flex. Harder to get hold of the Italian spec stuff for the sake of ~5 degrees. That said my own cooker is connected with a bit of 6mm T&E!

    What size was the heater/how many elements? 23 ohms would be about right for a 2.5kW

    Bulb placed into special administration - What now?

    I've been with bulb for years, on their vari-fair tariff which has served me pretty well before now. Referrals have been good too. Currently on 20.82p/kWh & 27.38p standing charge. Gonna stick just now and see what happens.

    Why ring circuit on 32amp??

    Yes but in upping the breaker size you'd be lowering the max permissible Zs which may put you the wrong side of 0.4s disconnection time.
