Hello!
I've just moved in to a new property with "all electric" heating system and trying to figure it out. The agency/landlord are of no help so trying here. Previously only lived in properties with the usual gas combi boilers so a bit lost. It's a one bedroom flat with two of us living here...

Job is a large barn conversion, done years ago, there's loads of work to do in the outbuildings as they are renovating those, but they aren't touching the house just yet. Main intake is a brick built building about 2-300m...
Just had three split Air Con units installed at my home, the ones with an indoor and outdoor unit.
I (perhaps naively) trusted the installers when they said they could tap into the existing socket ring to power them. I had assumed they meant installing a couple of fused spurs.
What I've ended...
Hi I am carrying out an EICR. I have a garage mini sub DB supplied via 2 x 2.5mm T&E equivalent 5.0mm protected at main DB by a 32A mcb.
I know this is bad practice to install unless using bigger SWA to achieve required csa's in awkward spaces to terminiate.
My question is what code is this? Im...
Hi there, I'm looking for someone to take a look over this load calculation I've done to see if it checks out. I'm using the Optional Method. I'm looking to add an induction cooktop (shown in red) and it seems like it should just fit on my 200A service. The main question I have is if I can...
Hi all,
I've been getting into electrical work these last few months, and have gone from doing rudimentary battery-switch-bulb diagrams to increasingly complex circuit diagrams as a hobby seeing as how I've just retired and need something to do. I've been trying to explain AC-DC converting to...
