Looking for counsel / guidance to replace an original Dayton On/off with speed control switch. I’ve checked with a couple local electrical supply stores and no one could assist. This fan was installed in our attic 25+ years ago and difficult to access.
I would certainly prefer a simple, direct...
I have 2 Mira dual valve vision showers. The remote control.for the Vision model has been discontinued, so I bought a Mira Platinum dual controller, as they are compatible. The issue is that as I have 2 showers, I have somehow managed to pair the new remote control with the wrong shower! So I...
Hi,
One of the plastic parts in my hoist control broke so I bought a new one but they are very different so a simple question, can I use the black one in the photo to replace the yellow one? My initial assumption is no as the original has a capacitor which the new one does not.
Appreciate...
I have a Firebird oil boiler that is controlled by a Honeywell timer (no thermostat) that has channels for hot water and central heating. Additionally, there is a Drayton Digistat RF thermostat and receiver (SCR) that controls the central heating; I always leave the Honeywell c/h channel on...
Evening all,
Just a quick question, I am an electrical maintenance engineer and have 18th edition, inspection and testing and so on, so I get asked regularly by friends and family to carry out any electrical work they need. I only carry out minor work as I am not in a CPS, so cannot...
At the moment it depends on the weather on how well the central heating works, the main problem is the Nest Gen 3 thermostat only measures the temperature in the hall, and it turns off boiler some times when living room not warm enough, but can't move Nest into living room, as one there is also...

Hi all, I am a home owner and our builder has completed a garage conversion with the electrician installing a new 4 way distribution board. The electrician has now gone completely silent, does not answer phone, email, text and appears to have left his address. We need a certificate for building...
Hi all,
Thanks for checking out my thread.
The tenant renting my apartment has complained about high electricity usage.
I offered we add a timer to control the geyser instead of him manually handling when it goes on as he's not home a lot of the time.
Please help me understand how the...
Autumn is now here, it's that time of year where the clocks go back and lighting control moves forward. A time when UK customers with gardens want to light up their outdoor spaces earlier in the evenings; meaning they'll be looking for new lighting and a reliable method of wireless switching...
Hi.. Newby here.. I have a couple lights holders/bulbs on the end of a flex plugged into the mains 13Amp plug. I want to put an inline switch on the cable so I don’t have to unplug/plug all the time.. WHat kind of switch do I need & how to wire earth/live/neutral? Many thanks - Dino
I have a 4-wire well pump (red, yellow, black, and green) which just quit. Cycling normally, then shut off and never came back on. I've gathered that yellow is the common, red is the leg for the start winding and black is the run winding. I've got a couple ohms (4-ish on my trusty Harbor...
Our electrician inexplicably wired outdoor floodlights attached to side of house over driveway as "always hot", no switch. We don't want them always on, nor timed and also not with motion sensors. We want to turn them on and off from a regular wall-mounted switch like normal lights. All the...
And now for something completely different!
I have been after a power station telegraph for decades and due to the fact most would have been obsolete after the 1940's I assumed I would never be able to obtain one but........
The power station telegraph system is just like the ones found on a...
I'm a DIY'er. Setting up a dual purpose shop-cooling and overspray fan. Bought this motor which reads "1.5 hp" but, looking at the amps, shouldn't it really be closer to 3hp? Anyway, I'd like to be able to slow it down occasionally because it will knock you off balance to walk in front of it. *...
Hi all, haven't posted in 7 years but could do with some help?

Hello,
I am a DIY home owner.
1. Are the lights on this ceiling fan able to be dimmed? Do I need special light bulbs for that? Is the light control switch proper?
2. Is the existing fan dimmer switch proper to this ceiling fan?
3. If it is dimmable, what kind of lightbulbs do I need to buy?

Hi, a few months ago this fan was installed in my bathroom, but it seems to be less effective than the previous one. The humidity setting is meant to be adjustable from 50% to 95% (i.e. it will come on either at a low or high level of humidity). Can anyone tell my where the arrow has to point to...
