Hi All!
I just moved into a property with a water tank heater which has the Horstmann Economy 7 Quartz timer. I include two photos.
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...

Hey guys, I'm installing a water heater that needs a 240 but no slots open (which I've dealt with before), but this system/ setup looks really old!
I just want to get a little advice before moving forward (need to install a 240v/ 2pole breaker for the water heater)

Hi everyone. I'm not sure how this works but if anyone is able to help point me in the right direction that would be great. I've got a Monarch water softener and the display isn't working. When I turn on the power it shows just a blue screen. When I press the buttons I hear a beeping noise and...

Hi All, I'm not an electrician (this will soon become apparent), but I am a homeowner with an electrical query. Several years back I had a bathroom renovation done, which amongst other things, resulted in some copper pipe suppling my basin to be replaced with flexible hose. The earthing/bonding...
What are your go to “heating” consumer units to fit these days? Have a domestic consumer unit and a combined storage/24hr heating/off peak water consumer unit to swap. Normally use Fusebox spd/rcbo for domestic swaps the last while but what are options for the other? I know Hager do/did a 3...
Hi, so I’m on a job currently and there’s no bonding to gas or water!
Gas isn’t an issue, as the meter is in the same cupboard and the consumer unit.
Water stop tap is on the complete opposite side of the house with no easy route without a fair amount of damage to decoration. Routing the...
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...
Hello,
I am renovating my kitchen and looking for advice on best placement of the meter and consumer unit. I am primarily concerned with:
Building regs
Electrical regs
Fire safety

We have a waste water pump in our first floor flat. The water pump failed and stopped draining water from the shower. We noticed too late and the water draining through the ceiling in to the property below.

Some electric tankless shower water heaters have inbuilt ELCB. Are they better than Triton water heaters which don't have it ? and does Triton tankless water heaters have any inbuilt security? Or an external RCD is better ?
Greetings, I am homeowner and looking to confirm if I will need earth boding to water pipes.
There is already earth boding near Gas meter and the gas copper pipe enters the house.
Water main supply is via blue plastic pipe (MDPE) which then connects to plastic pipes and also some copper pipes...
The unit only heats water using the programmed boost and when pressed in the 1 2 or Cont boost function. I have checked the off-peak time which is set to 2.30-7.30 am - this is when the Horstmann should do its thing...? But it's not heating the water so only the top cylinder works on boost, the...
On the instructions saying
Red to battery +12 v
White to ignition switch +12 v
Yellow to light switch +12 v
If these three wires connect them to the ignition switch +12 v will not work?
