    Hello, Getting a Gas Insert for fireplace. I was going to pull power from outlet in basement. Plumber told me that typically electricians tie into existing thermal cutoff for gas boiler. Seems reasonable, but not sure how to tie in? Should I tie in before and after thermal cutoff?

    When does an installation NEED an RCD? I thought that all new circuits need one but I now believe that I am mistaken.
