Disclaimer - this isn't directly related to electrical matters. Rather it's a question about a situation which has cropped up during my going to quote an electrical job, and is basically me looking for any hints as to how to make certain (or as certain as possible) that I'm not going to drill...
Hi, so I’m on a job currently and there’s no bonding to gas or water!
Gas isn’t an issue, as the meter is in the same cupboard and the consumer unit.
Water stop tap is on the complete opposite side of the house with no easy route without a fair amount of damage to decoration. Routing the...
New gas boiler install. Previously no gas in dwelling, water is plastic. So no bonding presently.
No other work, boiler supply to use existing Electric Heater Circuit.
What certification should be used, It's not a new circuit, so not EIC. So just Minor Works?
Hi my name is Gintas I connected solar hybrid inverter to my house ring supply and it work very well everything except the gas boiler for on demand hot water, the radiator heating works fine any idea why boiler want fire when I open the tap?

Hi,
I have lifetime experience (50+ years) in United States with basic knowledge of split phase 120/240 volts replacing wall switches and sockets.
We moved to the UK two years ago (wife was born here) and I am aware of the 240 volt system that's used throughout the UK.
I let a flat and with...
evening everyone . Quick question here I’ve recently took over a job that a friend of mine first fixed it’s a 3 bed semi house rewire. I don’t usually do this but he’s recently folded he’s business because of a job he’s got so no longer registered. I know he’s workmanship is to a good standard...
What’s your take on this….If the Gas pipe entering a property is plastic then no MPBC required.
This seems to contradict this with the gas pipe to the meter is plastic then metallic to the internal
We had our gas disconnected last week and the meter removed. We need to start removing the redundant gas pipes in inside the property. There is earthing connected to the main gas pipe 1 meter after it enters the property. Can we go ahead and remove all the redundant gas pipes including the...
Hi All,
I have an Electric Range with a junction box. I have turned off the circuit breaker to this ( 100% certain this is the right breaker as the hood light turns off but not the electric range as indicated on the circuit breaker panel (Cooktop + Hood )).
Is my only option to turn off the...
Just under 2 years ago my central HVAC died. I wanted to go with a heat pump because the only appliance in the whole house that used natural gas was\is the furnace, so I only use gas in the winter but get charged a "Delivery fee" every month even if I use zero gas. This fee has been increasing...
Hi guys
I am working in a warehouse where there is an inactive gas pipe and disconnected gas meter. The DB which has been upgraded now is on the other side of the warehouse. My question is does the pipe need to be bonded? Incoming metal gas pipe I believe is 28mm. Distance from that pipe to DB...
Went to fix a simple issue for someone . Then realised they where tenants and asked if they had a copy of the EICR ....NOPE . Turns out no Gas safe inspections for 11 years . And the landlord is demanding a stupid rent increase . Now here is the good bit . ~~They are 100% booked to leave the UK...
Hi, went to have a look at a job today, customer has had gas supply company out (for another issue) and they have commented that the protective bonding conductor is the the wrong place and needs to be altered.
So gas meter is internal to property, on consumer side, about 200mm of pipework...
Hi guys
Is it within regs to spur a gas hob electrical feed from an oven radial? The electrical feed to the worktop hob is via a fused spur from the oven connector that can currently only be accessed by removing the oven.
Thanks

We are designing and building cooking gas bottles with electronics controlled valves. These are for kids camping chalets. Its purely a safety feature because its kids. As you can tell, there is no big market for this product, its just to get these kids out camping.

Hi,
I am trying to figure out if my defy dgs906 gas/electric oven is single or 3 phase. The manual says it can be either or but the L1, L2 and L3 are not bridged so I assume its 3 phase.
I am not doing the wiring but need to pull the correct cable before the electrician comes to install as I...
Where I'm working there is this old capped gas supply which is royally in the way for the kitchen fitters. The gas meter is the other side of the wall and there's a new above-ground supply into the house further along.
The customer is not getting anything very useful from the gas engineers that...
We currently have a dual cooker and are switching to gas hob and single electric oven. Electrical cable connects to the back of the unit and isolator switch on wall
The gas hob (neff T26CS49S0) is hardwired. Can we switch this to plug safely or what is the best approach for this Thank you
