    Fused spur rating for electric underfloor heating

    Builder installed 175w / sq metre in an area 6.7 x 3.5. What should the fused spur be rated at and should it have a contractor as well? Am I correct in thinking it is drawing just over 17A therefore 13A fused spur is insufficient? Thanks

    Switched fused spur or I switched fused spur?

    Hi all, a friend has asked me to install him 2 sockets behind his wall mounted TV as to hide the cables. Obviously he wants minimal damage so extending the ring isn’t an option as the nearest sockets are low level on an adjacent wall and are fed from above (he’s also made it clear we can’t come...

    Safest way to add a fused spur?

    I have 3 cables going to a double socket (original socket in a new build, I haven't changed it). To spur off this and add an FCU I would've thought I would've had to obviously add a 4th. There are already 3 cores under each screw, feels like 4 might be 'cramming' which worries me. What's the...

    I recently came across some legacy lights which were taken off an un-fused spur which is part of a dual plug socket box.
