Had a call from a landlord today they said they had had a new boiler fitted and the installer said the heating was taken off the ring main and was against regulations.
Maybe not ideal but can't see as it is against regs.Anyone know if it's a oil or gas regulation.
Cheers

One of my domestic electrical customers has recently had a 4Kw solar PV system installed.
The area in the garage next to where the array was located does not have easy access to the main Consumer Unit so the installers have installed a 2-way garage consumer unit to connect the inverter. This 2...

evening guys, ive come across lighting in one room of domestic premises that has been supplied from the ring main at some point. the cable coming from the ring is 1,5mm which goes through the switch then on to the 2 x 12V down lights. This is on an EICR I`m doing. There is no chance at all of...

Hi,
Have had problems with Freesat reception recently so called out an engineer.
First response was that it was nothing to do with the trees outside. The engineer connected up his meter and pronounced that the LNB was faulty (only picking up one polarity of signal) - so that was changed. £160...
This is a strange fault i have never come across and i am thinking the answer is to just replace the whole unit. I recently converted the lights in my nans hallway from a pendant to 4 downlights. Being a bungalow it only had one mains smoke alarm in the hallway with the feed taken from the...
