I get asked quite a lot about replacing old storage heaters with something more economical and I don't know what to recommend.
Some people ask for the economy 7 tarrif to be changed over to a permanent supply and to fit convector heaters.

Hi guys
Moved into a new place this year and have a g24 4 pin light fitting in the storage cupboard. Light recently went and I've tried two new bulbs but just get a flicker. Seems there should be a ballast to replace but I can't find one and assume this is part of the overall compact fitting...
Hi all,

I know it won't fit in the existing unit, but will it actually charge the battery and function correctly?
This is the Takealot link for the unit in...
I have been asked to find a replacement timer for a Sangamo M5. I've done some searching, but frankly came to no obvious conclusion. Not my usual area of work, so I hope someone with recent experience can point me at a suitable model.
Afternoon all. Apologies if this is a stupid question. I'm currently half part way through completing 2391 (second exam tonight) - so may be getting myself in a tiz overthinking things.

Task is: Straight swap of existing x5 ovens with new -...
