@dan the ads have gone crazy again I'm afraid.

I removed my baseboard electrical heaters (1981 installed) due to finishing off the room. When I had a new AC ductwork installed they changed the wires for some reason?(1988) so the wires to the heates are live but they removed the heater control from wall. Now, years later I am wondering what I...
I bought this house a couple months ago. It was built in 1952 (same as me) but has been rewired with yellow 12 awg Romex dated 2007. Looks like a professional job. When I first moved in the back door outside light worked, but it recently stopped working. It wasn't the bulb, so I checked it with...

I have a doorbell I want to install. The issue is the 16v transformer is designed to sit on a DIN rail. I have a 10 way 17th edition BG Nexus consumer unit which is fully loaded with RCBO's.
I got a guy round for a quote and he said if it won't fit on the DIN rail it would be fine to leave it...
I get wanting to do a good job but does being super neat inside a board really make it a better job?
I don't see any advantage to it aside from aesthetics and if it's something that's not seen then....what's the point in obsessing over how neat it all looks?
To me it's a bit like a kitchen...
