    Heat Saver system what is it?

    Hi. I'm on my way to remove a faulty one of these. A 'heat saver' device fitted to a boiler. I haven't seen it yet but it seems to be a relay connected to a boiler thermostat. Has anyone seen these before? I'm guessing I can remove it all and just hard wire the system so it doesn't interfere...

    Heat resistant cable connector

    I need to connect an infrared panel to the ceiling. The panel comes with a pre-wired 13amp plug, but it needs to connect to the supply left in the ceiling by my spark. Does anyone know of a quick release connector that is also heat resistant.

    How long roughly do these Heat recovery units (HRU) take to install?

    I am about to quote to install this HRU. Having never fitted one before I had a few questions? 1. How long roughly does it take to install? The 162mm diameter hole will already have been drilled. There is a socket very close by and it will be in trunking, so easy. It's more the length of time...

    1950s underfloor heating brought into reuse with air source heat pump

    Heat Pump Heating issue with relay sticking

    Are metal clad sockets more heat resistant than plastic ones?

    As per title really. I need to install a storage heater which is quite close to a 13amp socket. The socket would be about 5cm from very bottom of heater. I don't think much heat is emitted from that part of the heater, but as a precaution, would there be any advantage in changing the socket to a...
