Hi all
I'm in the midst of starting a fairly large new build property. The main house has a boiler and fire and there is also a separate coach house with it's own boiler. All appliances will be ran from the same meter in the main house (the coach house is approx 5m from meter location)...
Saying hello as the polite thing, especially since I just asked for some advice in another thread. I'm a plumbing/ process piping engineer in the USA, but also a licensed master plumber who has many years of experience. I wanted to discuss European style wall hung closet pans and get some...
Hi from the USA-
I'm a plumbing engineer and master plumber in the USA who is going to be building a new home and plan on using European wall-hung pan toilets with a concealed (in-wall) cistern. I intend to purchase these in the UK and have shipped here. I would really appreciate some input to...
Good morning all, I'm after advice so I hope this is the appropriate page to ask.
My wife is opening a health clinic and there will be 4 treatment rooms, a small kitchen and toilet. I haven't got a clue what to use for hot water but it will be electric. Each of the 4 treatment rooms will have a...
local council planning officer is asking for a water usage calculation on a large house.
6 shower rooms, 2 bathrooms, 3 cloakrooms. 4 outside taps, 2 kitchens and 1 utility.
Oh and a pool.
Do they want peak usage, adding all outlets at once? There’s only 4 people live there!
Do you know...
Hi All,
Really not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm in a bit of a mess with my mum's energy supplier and I'm desperate for someone who knows what they're talking about to help.
End of last October my mum rented a two up- two down semi detached relatively modern house...
Since having the combi fitted my electricity usage has shot up.
Gone from an average of 163kwh a month to 340.
So even though gas usage is down a lot, electric going up means its costing us more.
Excuse my rough maths but i have the boiler on for approximately 52 hours a week, so if it was...
We usually use about 10 cubic meter of water every month.
I received a phone call from my water company said that we used about 16 cubic meter of water per month in the last 6 month.
So I monitor the water usage and it seems to be normal (1.2 units in 5 days)
Then we went to holiday for 6 days...

Hi all,
I've moved home recently and was curious to see how much change in the water meter reading having a bath would have - The meter is in the downstairs toilet so I can see the reading. I've noticed however that after a bath, there was no change at all in the reading, if I run any taps...

Okay, I've gone through the accounts system and have basically deleted all accounts that haven't been logged into since the end of 2015. I think it's fair to say they're probably not coming back.
Unlike facebook and twitter, we don't like to just keep all accounts to boast numbers. We just...
Hi all
I am trying to fit out a room for doing some pottery and struggling a little on the sink trap to ensure that we aren't putting clay down the waste pipe.
There is a popular solution in the USA which can be found Gleco Trap (gt43) but naturally comes with a USA standard of...

Hi, I'm being told one thing by an engineer sent by my supplier and another by one from my landlord, I'd greatly appreciate some advice on which ones telling the truth, thank you.
I moved into a flat and found that my gas bills were extraordinarily high, my supplier sent out an engineer who...
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...

Hi guys I am Rob and new on this forum, hope someone can shed some light on my very strange issue. Thanks in advance to all the replies.
I seem to us around 6 to 7 cubic meters per month. But in October that doubled to nearly 16 cubic meters.
The funny thing is I went on holidays from the...
Hi all,
After a boiler 'service' this year, the boiler soon stopped igniting immediately after it was switched on, and would usually take about a minute or so to fire up. For various reasons I was unable to get this fixed, so I just let the boiler take its time to ignite when I needed hot...
