    Under Sink Hot Water (IWH) - Connecting to fuse board...

    I've got sparks coming tomorrow...  But he agrees with Dave given rest of property is 20yrs or so electrical.  A second consumer unit for iwh otherwise it'll likely be a complete rewire for current regs.  I'll come back when he's given a quote. Sadly mates aren't available any time soon so...

    Under Sink Hot Water (IWH) - Connecting to fuse board...

    Quite possibly can be reconfigured, upstairs had two heaters on the day circuit which have now been d.c. Also have fan heaters in bathrooms which are d.c. So a large load has been removed.  our main draw is the kitchen and hot water. So it's possible the two sockets could be linked.  But ill...

    Under Sink Hot Water (IWH) - Connecting to fuse board...

    A second 4 way is what I was thinking after comments...  Start with two heaters leaving immersion and if they work out OK, get rid of the tank and possibly add a third heater / split kitchen pipe (this depends on if the pressure after the heater will feed upstairs though) When spending a few...

    Under Sink Hot Water (IWH) - Connecting to fuse board...

    Hi guys.   Thanks for comments.   On looking again at cu, there may be one spare slot split into three small spacers.    The immersion heaters are on a day circuit with timer in the tank Cupboard (found this out when we moved in as the water was coming on in the day on high rate).  My wife's...

    Under Sink Hot Water (IWH) - Connecting to fuse board...

    So for a job like this (a 10M run - in surface trunking) and a 15m run *(through roof space / floorboards already lifted - and surface trunking down) what would you think I would be looking at? -  Thats the issue other, the water isn't as hot when its actually needed either - when you've had...

    Under Sink Hot Water (IWH) - Connecting to fuse board...

    ... if this is a job for a spark (as it certainly looks) any guestimates of prices i would be looking to pay... 1) for them to run cables, with all parts already here 2) for them to connect up - with cables run, and parts supplied

    Under Sink Hot Water (IWH) - Connecting to fuse board...

    by additional CU, I am taking that a SECOND CU can be added (well third in this case, as we have a second for Storage heaters on night) by a sparky - i assume by just siting it next to the original and putting a feed from the main switch to the RCD  in the second CU?   (So if all the cables etc...

    Under Sink Hot Water (IWH) - Connecting to fuse board...

    I thought that was going to be the answer.  Sadly no space in my CU for additional breakers - and i'll need two...  The elects were last check start 2014.  Earthing arrangements? - we have two massive spikes outside into our ground... (we have overhead powerlines) [if that's what you mean]...

    Under Sink Hot Water (IWH) - Connecting to fuse board...

    I'm in a house with no Nat Gas, and we have an electric shower.  We use the cylinder on Econ 7 to boil water - but this water is only used to wash up / wash hands after loo (and the kids dont use the hot, b/c it's too hot for them)... So, I've got a couple of 3700 W (3.7KW) DAFI "under sink"...
