New build ring circuit regulations -help please

[Sparkie30]

Ive come across alot of properties where they have 2 rings, kitchen inc boiler and rest of the house. They never had any problems also i dont see the point of boiler circuit on its own if protecteced by rcd.

Just out of curiosity as I don't ever look at ratings of boilers, what is the ratings kWh of a gas or an electric boiler. I know theirs so much variation but what's a ball park figure for each?

Maybe people put boiler on its own circuit so that its future proof in case someone wants an electric boiler maybe?

gas boilers generally go on a 3A fuse and will not pull anywhere near that as its just for control really and electric boilers up to about 12kw.

Depends on the size of the property, 24 -38 kWH gas boiler, these normally i come across.

I never really see electric boilers, are they only generally installed if theirs no gas, as gas in a lot cheaper?

yes a lot more expensive to run compared to a gas boiler.

As an aside, gas boilers may be gone by 2030; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ll-phased-meet-new-targets-experts-claim.html

5. Bedrooms 1 & 2 with 4 double sockets in each on a 32A RCBO

6. Bedrooms 3 & 4 with 4 double sockets in each on a 32A RCBO

7. Lighting to living/dining room & kitchen 2x 5 lamp chandiliers, 2x 2 lamp wall lights 1x ceiling rose. all on a 6A RCBO

12. Intruder alarm on a 6A RCBO

14. Is earmarked for my garage at the far end of the garden once I decide what cable to use and how to run it and get my health back to a sufficient level to be able to do it. ... Just now there's no chucking fance.


The C.U. is a nice big Wylex and it - together with all the RCBOs - fell out of the back of a van otherwise there would have been no way on God's earth that I would have been so extravagant!

Nightmare when things, that aren't on the van, fall off ain't it

Article could be based on hard facts and plenty of evidence but I still take daily fail articles with a pinch of salt the size of which would melt the ice caps. (In other words their 'news' is worth as much to me as an immigrants life is to them)

Do people tend to carry the regs in the van or just the osg and leave the regs at home?

That's very true of the boiler's output.

Unfortunately our Friend was asking about the amount of leccy the said boiler draws which is not a lot since there's only a pump & a few bits of electronics in it. :sailor:

I'm only kidding lads she's not a bag ( Just in case she see's this )

That's true I suppose, never let the facts get in the way of a good story. But I think there may be an element of truth in there somewhere;
