    So as the title says, I have 3 panel heaters in my flat, but only one really needs the fine control i'm after, the other two rarely go on even in dead winter as i'm stingy and my flat is small.

    Electrician saw white on breakers (see pic) and says I must replace whole panel with a larger one because it’s overloaded and dangerous. Does this sound right?

    Just an idle thought - has anyone any experience of using the DC output of solar panels to directly feed an immersion heater, to avoid the expense and losses associated with an inverter? Evidently, a changeover relay would be required to utilise the usual 240V AC supply at times of low or zero...

    Advice on conflict between generator interlock kit and subpanel requirements (Siemens Panel)

    I recently had my 50yr old 100A main panel replaced with a 200A Siemens panel (MC2040B1200EFC).
