electric

Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent reliable electric shower? I don't normally fit them so don't have a great deal of experience in knowing what is best. Budget is about £120 max for the shower

Hi I am hoping for some help please. I am newly qualified to unvented and did my g3 about 10 weeks ago. I am gas registered not that this matters. I have corrected some issues with a rointe electric unvented cylinder in an apartment...sorted the balanced cold ,new expansion vessel sized...

Hi all, I'm after a bit of help understanding how things are plumbed in. I have a hot water tank in the roof and a cylinder in the cupboard upstairs. In this cupboard is a electric emersion heater going into the cylinder which is always off. Then we have the pipework going here and there with...

I'm about to connect a replacement electric shower. The shower has a 15mm plastic spigot and the cold feed has a 15mm brass compression joint. I've read I should use a new copper olive, but should I also use a jointing compound or ptfe on the olive to ensure a good leak free connection. Any...

Hi guys, went to look at a property to buy last night that had Aeroflow electric radiators and an electric heated water cylinder. The rads system was pretty new and had all the bells and whistles remote stats and remote programmer etc. Just wondered how efficient they were to run in comparison...

Hi guys, Hoping some of you smart people can figure this one out because I can't. Recently fitted an Amptec electric flow boiler and is has been making a noise that sounds exactly like a ship fog horn. It is a mains fed system and the boiler feeds a cylinder and wet rad system. A PRV is fitted...

Hi, Ive got a potential customer who is asking for me to install a shower up on the 2nd floor. She already has a bathroom with shower, and a separate shower room on the 1st floor, but the whole lot will be fed by a single combi boiler (situated on 1st floor too)...my first thoughts are that the...

Hi all, I have had a look on the internet to see if I can get this sorted without having to post but I can't figure it out! Basically we have a Triton Trance 2nd generation electric shower which we bought and had installed 20 months ago. It's always worked great with good power and is nice and...

What is the expected daily usage of an electric combi boiler? I recently got a 12Kw combi boiler installed in a small 1 bedroom flat. It runs the central heating (3 radiators) and the hot water for the shower. I can measure the consumption and it uses 50kw/day! This is a lot more than I...
