Difference between an RCD and circuit breaker
What's the difference between an RCD and a circuit breaker? Or are they the same thing?
RCD/ circuit breaker placement
Hi guys, I am soon to be moving house and I have a small kitchen with a big full length cupboard which houses an RCD. I would like to utilise the cupboard by placing a washing machine or fridge in there and I also believe the RCD needs up dating. Can you tell me if this is possible please, I.e. utilising it for the washing machine or fridge or can i only use it for other storage items.

Fitting a Dual Fuel Range Cooker
Hello! I'm replacing my 4 plate Hotpoint gas cooker (60cm; Electrical Load = 4.93kW) with a 6 plate Duel Fuel ILVE range cooker (100cm, Electrical Load = 5.1(kW). Can I use the same cooker socket I'm currently using, or do I need a higher voltage socket? Also, is this possible to self-instal, or does it need an electrician? Thanks, Christine

Can i control living & dining room lighting separately?
Hi, I have a combined living/dining room with separate light fittings for the living and dining room areas. The problem is that both areas are controlled by the same single light switch. How much work would be required and what would the cost be to remove the single switch and install two separate switches to control both areas individually. Thanks
Garden Room Electrics - Part P
I have recently had my Garden Room (one new circuit added and consumer unit in garden room) connected to my house (around 10m away) - I have been provided with a Condition Report and Certificate for Minor Works. I am told by the electrician that these works are not classed as 'notifiable' and therefore I have not been provided with a Building Regulation Part P Certification. Please can I have opinions? Thanks
