I'm a total amateur so apologies in advance for any stupid question. I have a white box with a tiny timer button which you can turn from 1 minute to 40 minutes - it's fixwd next to a fused switch which I think controls an under floor heating thermostat - does this make sense to anyone?
Hi,
We have just moved into a new flat with the old Horstmann electronic 7 timer for our immersion boiler. We just moved from a flat with the exact same system and never had any issues. We have set the timer and the times for the off peak boiling and have had no hot water for 3 days. The boiler...

Hi
I recently bought my property from my (now former) landlord.
In the past, my former landlord instructed gas engineers to set a service interval timer on my Danfoss TP5000 programmer (photographed below).
I now need to reset/disable this service interval timer. There are other threads on...
Hi all, I'd appreciate some advice wiring up a timer unit to a switch and some lights. The timer is wired as you can see in the first picture and connected to a plug, there is a live and neutral terminal, then another terminal marked S1 and S2.
I've put the feed from the plug to the live and...

My house was built in the early 90's and the builder, rather than installing bathroom fans, wired the air exchanger unit to all of three of the bathrooms and installed local mechanical timers to turn the unit on. Works OK, would have put fans in myself, but anyway...

Hi all, happy Christmas! There was a thread on this subject a while back, not many people said that they actually connect bathroom extractor via a 3A fuse, despite many MI's seemingly asking for it. And certainly it's not something you see often, triple pole isolators yes, sfs's less so. Is it...
