Hi,
I've recently looked at a fault with an intermittently tripping RCD at a property for a landlord I do the odd job for.
Got there and did the basics, IR'd the cables, looked at resistances across the pump, got acceptable results everywhere I looked. Played with the heating, demanded hot...
I am planning on redoing my basement floors and debating on adding underfloor radiant heat. It would be supplemental to my HVAC as the basement as being 70 year old house all registers are roof mount.
My question is due to the large area of main room roughly 13' × 30' (4m × 10m) 400 square feet...
Good evening fellow sparks !
Here’s a question for all you guys working with Solar as part of your installation !
I have a pal that’s had one of these all singing and all dancing airsource heating systems fitted complete with solar panels and a 5kw battery storage !
He has an off peak supply...
So I've recently moved into a house with gas central heating, before I have only had electric only flats so I'm a bit new to it. During the past cold few days I thought I'd test the central heating to see if there were any issues.
The programmer is a siemens RWB29 and seems to work just fine, I...
Hi, I am not an electrician. Not even good a physics. My question is basic maths. I want to check an answer I got from AI from someone fluent in terms.
So I asked AI, how long a 3mm 8AWG Heating Resistor Nichrome Wire for Heating Elements would have to be to raise temperature of 100ml water...
last week, houses in the road had a power cut one evening, although we hadn't at that stage...then, in bed near midnight, we were dozing, then heard a loud pop in the hall....got up and smelt a very strong electrical burning smell (we were also then without power), it was coming from the...
All the specific guidance I can find stating that underfloor heating is notifiable seems to refer to an outdated version of Part P, and I’m trying to understand why generally everywhere still treats it as notifiable.
If a dedicated cable already exists from the consumer unit (so no new circuits...
Hi everyone,
I'm seeking some advice on how to wire a relay to my Hive Thermostat for controlling my underfloor electric heating. I have some basic knowledge but I’m not an electrician, so I’m finding it a bit confusing and would really appreciate some guidance.
Here’s my setup:
Power Supply...
The oven locked itself and the door so I had to turn off the power and can now open it again. Only thing is the oven is no longer heating up at all. I’m seeing an “F53 error” code is flashing up with a symbol of a key. I have looked at the troubleshooting section of the manual and it says...
Hi,
as the title says, I need to change the upper heating element on my HE10AB220/C oven. I've never done that and it seems pretty easy, as in cutting off current on the breaker panel, pulling out the old element end replacing it with the new, but I have two questions:
I can't find a...
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...

Hi everyone just looking for some advice before buying stuff not planning on carrying out this work myself will get someone who knows what their doing.

I'm in Raleigh, North Carolina and have a well for my house's water supply. For some reason, pitless adapters, which allow all piping to be run from the well to the house below frost line, are not allowed so I have piping emerging from the top of my well seal, which is exposed to the ambient...
Hi Guys
Changing my heating/water programmer and im stuck on the wiring ive gone from a danfoss to a Drayton and the wiring description is different ive had a go at what I think is correct but now when the heating is on and hot water off the hot water is still calling, and when I have just hot...
I've pretty much sussed out the wiring for the radiators and underfloor heating, thanks to help from the forum. I do have one more question though. I feel the answer is obvious but i just wanted to double check.
In the diagram below there is a terminal block labelled manifold pump or valve...
Hey everyone, hope you all had a good xmas.
Got called around to change over an old style pin type thermostat to a hive one for a family member. (Curse the holidays lol) and was a bit confused when I took the old one off the wall and saw how it was wired. I said just to get a central heating...
Hi all, taken on a new build project and they have quite a large property with three separate manifolds. I have wired before with one manifold but getting slightly confused.
Do I need to take a fused spur to each individual manifold to power the pump or can this be done via the three cores back...
I have not had to do the wiring for a wet underfloor heating system before. I think I started a thread fairly recently and had some very good replies which has helped me understand heating systems in greater detail. However, I have a more specific question to this particular manifold wiring...
Hi.
I'm installing a wet underfloor heating system in my own house. What would you recommend as the best smart control system? I can hardwire each zone with a thermostat
Cheers
