I went to swap a fan for a customer, they wanted a humidistat one. When I dropped the old fan I found it was wired with T&E.
I explained there was no permanent live so no overrun was possible, and that I'd either have to make a lot of mess running a three-core or they'd be best off leaving the...

I cannot find online any guide regarding how to use this and the landlord is not responding as he left on holiday (worst timing ever).
Can anyone tell me how I...

I have a Gledhill Pulsacoil III cylinder. Recently the Horstmann H425 timer stopped working and I hired an electrican I know well to replace it with a modern Secure Horstmann Electronic E7+ Hot Water Programmer (Gledhill confirmed this timer is compatible). He says he connected it up the same...
Hi there
I have 2 electric hot water boilers in my house (in France).
They both work with off-peak power, but they run all night long, so they consume way too much
Because of this, I'm looking for a way of reducing their consumption.
For example, I was thinking if I could replace their...
Hi all
Please could you offer some advice on wiring a 6" bathroom extractor fan.
I've got a stylish surface mounted momentary wall switch and would like to incorporate a 30 min timer.
So I'm looking for a relay that requires a pulse to initiate and run on.
I would rather keep the current switch...
A few months ago I fitted a change over switch to an electric oven/hob and a converted to electric aga stove, stopping them being used at the same time.
I've now been asked to fit a timer so that the Aga can't be left on overnight.
I'm not happy to do this for various reasons, but can anyone...
I’m replacing an old 100mm extractor fan in the kitchen with a new one. The old one was a pull cord fan whereas I bought a timer one (no pull cord) thinking I could use the isolator switch (which is directly below the fan) as the on/off switch.
The cabling is a 3 core and on the new fan there’s...

just after a bit of advice and what would you do differently. I have wired up 3 kw heaters in 4mm tuff cable (40 meter distance, separate circuits, b20 mcb warehouse). I used these energy efficient timer switches to save energy. I have managed to get the wires in but it’s tight...
Hi I replaced a Flash immersion timer with an apt one today and it seemed straightforward but just wondering should the light on isolation switch not always stay on even when the immersion switch is set to off.Also when I flick the switch on the isolation to off and leave the immersion at on...
Hello folks.
Just looking for a little help please. Recently I fitted a fst77 timeguard for a single 2.5kw simplex model NLSH18MN. This works well and allows me to just turn it on the charge for the last couple of hours of the e7 window. Now I'd like to fit one for our larger NLSH24MN model...
Hi all,
Thanks for checking out my thread.
The tenant renting my apartment has complained about high electricity usage.
I offered we add a timer to control the geyser instead of him manually handling when it goes on as he's not home a lot of the time.
Please help me understand how the...
I have a countdown timer switch hooked up to run my washroom fan. It stopped working all of a sudden.
I replaced it with a regular switch and the fan worked.
I took the old timer switch and hooked it up to another different washroom fan, and the old switch worked.
What am I missing?
I'd like to find a timer switch, in a style that looks alright next to decora light switches, to control a bathroom fan.
The bathroom fan connects to a 120V AC continuous power source. It has a USB plug that connects to a humidity detector, and it has leads that can connect to a switch that...
We need to empty our heating oil tank in order to re-level the base as the ground has slumped. The heating's off now anyway so it just leaves HW to deal with. Have inherited the manually switched immersion circuit on a FSU downstairs (tank is up in the loft) that so far has never been used and...
Hello all,
I know this is very simple but I would like some advice please.
I am installing a new circuit to feed 5 external floodlights.
It is to be controlled by a digital timer with volt free contacts through a 2 pole contactor wired with the existing photocell which also does a couple...
