  • How is a smart meter installed?

    We've been offered a smart meter by our energy supplier. How does the installation process work? Do we need to be in all day or can they handle it themselves if we are at work?

    Island cooker hood replacement - long chimney/duct

    My island kitchen extractor fan/hood doesn't seem to be removing steam and I'm assuming I need a new one? It was already in the property when I bought it and the property is a converted chapel with the kitchen on the upper floor, so the chimney part goes up to the roof & is about 1.2m long. My question is, is it possible to change the hood without changing the chimney part? Is it a universal fit? My rough measurements show that the square is abt 29x29cm? The current one is an old baumatic 90cm unit. Thank you.
