wiring

Hi, I'm not sure if my programmer can be replaced with a 3rd gen Nest? Google website says my wiring means no, but I don't believe that's true. Do I need to modify any wires or add anything? I know there's threads discussing similar, but I'm still not sure. I have a Drayton (British Gas UP2)...

Hi All, So I brought a house with an alarm (Installed 1997) that I have resurrected and it works ok. (5 PIRs and one reed switch door sensor, 1 key pad). All very straight forward so far after a learning curve and I will book an engineer to come and service annually. However I would like to...

Good Evening gents, I have a couple of queries about this light fixture. Photos attached. The lighting upstairs is on a spur so it's not complicated to wire up. I put a smaller version of this one up in the little room a week ago but this big unit has thrown me a bit. The instructions are...

So apologies in advance as I'm no electrician. I had an extension built 7 years ago with new wiring. The more I look, the more I see where my builder cut corners. I want to replace my single Samsung oven (BT621VDSD). I have pulled it out to see how it is wired but a double socket was placed...

Decided to replace my Lightwave connect series switches with the Lightwave smart series switches, to get greater LED compatibility and native homekit support. I thought the new Lightwave switches would have the same connections as the old switches, alas they do not. The 2-gang connect switches...

I have a dimmer switch that recently stopped working, so I'm hoping to replace it with a new one. This is the only switch that controls the light in question, so based on my googling I expected to see one red or brown live wire and one black or blue switched live wire going into the switch...

Hi, Am trying to replace the currently installed Honeywell BDR91 receiver with Heatmiser Slimline RF switch. But am confused with the wiring. In the BDR91 there are only 3 other points apart from the mains (A, B, C) but the Heatmiser has 8 (COM1 & 2, NC 1 & 2, NO1 & 2, LS, LR). Am not really...

Hi, I have an old tatty Eberle thermostat that I never use. It's connected to the plinth heater in the kitchen. It would be nice to replace with something newer, but I'm not sure about the logic with the current wiring. It seems to be 3 phase without neutral so red, blue, yellow and earth...

Afternoon, I recently decided to install Hive active heating (thermostat + receiver + hub) as the old thermostat was making a buzzing noise. I managed to set it up and HW works fine, but the old room stat (which itself is disconnected now) or rather it's existing wiring which is still connected...

Hi, I'm trying to replace a double switch with a double dimmer. They are both one way so should be simple but when I opened the old switch the wiring doesn't look like anything I've seen or can find on Google. Three red wires wired in to the top L1, L2 and com and three black wires wired into...

Morning all, I’m currently trying to replace an old bathroom extractor fan. I presumed the motor had burned out because it’s long since stopped working and the property I live in is approx. 25 years old. I’ve wired it up what I think is the right way, but while the light comes on the fan...
