    Gas or Electric Heating

    You could fit a gas boiler and supply it with 10mm cable from CU so the option is there to switch to electric at a later date. Or install both and have the best of both worlds

    Free sat

    That’s is up and working. Used an app called dish align to set it in the right direction then was a mix of using a sat finder and the tv to get a good signal.

    Free sat

    Thanks Matt exactly the information I need. I have re aligned one before in a very difficult area (wrong side of a hill and a big radio mast in the way, got it eventually). The pole it’s on is in good condition so just going to re use that. Also need a 4 quad LNB, I see they are available on...

    Meters and boards Question

    The company you work for should have some sort of procedure in place for getting the fuse removed. Any work has to be done to bs7671 18th edition. If you know these regs then you might be needing RCD protection, SPD, if altering or making additions to the circuit it should be up to current...

    Additions/alterations to installations. SPDs???

    There’s a reg about not having to update plastic CU’s in domestics. But nothing like that for SPDs. As was said case by case and hope for the best. As for risk assements I won’t be doing them so will probably means fitting more RCDs.

    Additions/alterations to installations. SPDs???

    another SPD queerie! So having a flick through the regs and it’s clear where and when we need them. But when adding new circuits or even a second CU to an existing installation, should they be going in like we do with RCDs? I would say no to alterations but should when adding a new CU (but...
