    Vailant ecoTEC 28 pro combi boiler (Radiators only. (Off function)

    Hi. I have the above model of combi boiler. This version has this operating dials...etc as shown. I'd like to quickly turn off just the radiators from the boiler instead of the thermostat.

    2 radial circuits tripping when anything is plugged into one circuit

    Hi Sidney The problem is that the board was changed last year, and a new skirt was fitted a few months back. (No tripped circuits since works) So I was theorising...New skirt, no tripping, unless it was intermittent with say a door/floorboard knocking on the skirt for instance (Knocking nail...

    Upgrade my electricity fuse scheme query

    He got in touch and a lad came back today. He explained that the Neutral to Earth link wasn't bridged, so he had never had a mains earth to begin with. They wouldn't do it in case it had a fault somewhere and expected them to fix it basically. He said you'd still be able to fit a strap to the...

Both of the supplies originally had a neutral earth link on the old fuse heads and were connected appropriately to them.
