I have a 240V range top that needs a wall switch added (for preventing an elderly person from using it when unattended). The existing feed is one black, one red, one bare ground. Which color leg should I break with a switch? Thanks
Thank you in advance for your help. I recently purchased a home and while removing some built-ins I found that they had a 14/2 wire running inside the built in between an outlet behind the built in and an outlet next to it. I assumed they ran a new switch off the hidden one when they installed...

Hi, looking for some advice.. the wall behind my tv makes clicking/popping noises when my tv is switched on and again when it’s switched off. It’s similar to the noise TVs make when they’re heating up/cooling. Don’t want the electrician to have a wasted visit if it’s nothing?

I have got to install a switched fuse isolator with 25mm tails and a 3 core 25mm armoured. Any recommendations on an isolator? Always struggle with isolators twisting and generally just not enough room.

Hi all,
I’ve got a question about an issue I’m having.
During a kitchen renovation we’ve decided to have open doors fitted to the patio and as a result I’ve fitted 2 way lighting to the kitchen spots.
