  • Bathroom fan power

    I have power (using a mains tester screwdriver ) going to the fan switch in air cupboard. Power showing going to the new fan. It has a humidifier sensor. I ran the shower but nothing? And ideas. It’s a new fan as the other one never worked when I moved in.

    New CU for Garage and potential EV charger in future

    Hi There I am looking for some advice regarding having power run to my separate garage. Firstly I just wondered if its possible to have a new CU installed in my garage which is connected directly to the electric meter rather than connecting this to the existing CU. The reason for this is that the electric meter outside is within 5 meters of the garage and running a cable from the existing CU would be difficult as it is located near the center of the house and would struggle to get an outdoor cable to it without significant work. Secondly, would I be able to have an EV charger connected to this new garage CU or would that also need another feed from the meter. I will of course get a qualified person to perform the job if I go ahead but just looking into whats possible at the moment. Thank you!
