If the works are Contestable they may be undertaken by a suitably accredited Independent Connections Provider (ICP). Contestable works include the installation of cables, substations and other plant associated with the new connection. -

We were charged £3914 for electricity 4 years ago. This week, my neighbour has been quoted £13K for the same specification connection by the same supplier. All they need to do is mole under the single lane road and make a normal single phase connection . Just under 300% rise in four years. -

render... god i hate that stuff. -
There is already a fused spur under the sink for the dishwasher. Would a 2kw undersink water heater should run from this ok? ( I don't know if it's allowed but this was the setup in our rental house and it was both fast and economical to operate) https://www.plumbnation.co.uk/site/zip-aquapoint-iii-under-sink-unvented-15l-water-heater/ At the moment our daily cost of water heating is €1.70/ day. (€620/year) I reckon this could expand by many multiplies if we were to install a hot loop as the hot circuit would be continually cooling the tank and we would have to pay double to run the immersion during the day. -
I guess a disappointment was when my first ebay bargain ASHP was found to be dead 11 months after buying it (first time trying to fire it up) It had been sold by a business seller as "new" It turned out it was being sold cheap as end of line as it was a discontinued model and no longer supported. Tough. Then some good fortune when I found that the company I had bought it from was owned by a much larger company that owns a well know builders merchant. An email to the CEO of the parent company resulted in a replacement, current model ASHP being delivered as a replacement. Previous house now, still related to heating, I self installed a new oil boiler. After 2 months it stopped working. So I took the burner out to investigate. I was somewhat surprised when a load of water came out as I withdrew the burner. Cleaning it all up and emptying it, revealed a pin hole in a welded seam, and water was slowly drip drip dripping into the burner chamber and filling it up. the boiler manufacturer not only replaced it, but paid for a plumber to remove the dud one and fit the replacement. Current disappointment is render issues I have, an ongoing discussion with the supplier is in progress......
