    iBoost goes dead and then a few days later, comes to life again

    For the last few weeks, my iboost seems to completely switch off and even if you push any of the buttons or turn the switch to the mains on or off, it does not work. And then suddenly, out of the blue it starts working again. If it works during daylight, it will start to heat the water properly...

    A circuit in my house quit working when a toaster oven and portable electric heater where both running on it. Normally the simple fix would be resetting the tripped breaker. However, the breaker did not appear to be tripped. I turned it off and on just to make sure and still no luck. Next...

    Welcome to Electricians Forums, again? But this time the .co.uk, again?[/] Okay, so we’ve had some confusing changes over the years. Usually just smilies on the forum changing.

    I've been messing with the forums again

    I've been messing with the forums again. So some things might look different here and there. Mainly, the forum homepage layout has had the "Latest Post" and the Statistics columns removed. Reason being most users now view the forum on a mobile, so it looked too busy really for the amount of...

    125A D Type MCB keeps tripping on a heater element circ

    I changed 3 x 125A fuses for 3 x 125A D type MCBs (ABB). They held for a day and then two started tripping, we didn't have any spare 125A, so we fitted 100A C type and the issue has disappeared, can anyone shed any light on this for me please?

    Catching up again - Ads and Advent Wins mostly

    Morning all, Apologies for the delay in posting this. I've moved house and we had to wait for the internet to get connected from VM as nobody in the property had it before, and they needed to dig up some street for us (at our cost the lovely bar stewards). I realise the ads have been crazy...

    Long story short, I tried to replace my existing 3 way switch with a new 3 way switch, but I had to pretty much take everything out and my attempt at putting everything back as it was failed because now the ceiling lights controlled by the new switch don't work. The other 3 way switch is located...

    Borrowed neutral - again!

    As I've said before, I'm not a qualified electrician but have worked as a mate a few times. I'm retired now and as a hobby I study all things electrical (domestic). I know this has been asked before on this forum but as an amateur I still can't understand how the wiring for "borrowed neutrals"...

    Doorbells again - volt drop / max bell wire length

    Ads have gone nuts again - my bad

    I'm trying to show ads on a usergroup basis. So unregistered see most, registered less, arms even less, staff nearly none, subscribed none at all. Google has setup auto-ads for plebs who don't know what they're doing (or because they just want MAX ads everywhere - even though they've literally...

    Hi, after having a somewhat bad experience with a previous sparky and having to get the work fixed I'm after some advice with regards to some additional work I'd like done.
