ENER-G Switch2 G6 gas meter question
Hi All, I hope you are well and saved lots of money during my absence. I have a rather silly question to anyone who has dealt with this XXII century gas meter. How the heck to switch off the bright backlight on this thing? I cannot see anything in the manual. This meter due to this backlight on all the time eats…

I am no longer an NPower customer - purely because of all of the overpayment problems, but I was a customer the time…

Gas Supplier Mix Up
Hi I recently received a letter from EDF energy stating that I owed them £7014 for unpaid gas between 01.01.10 - 26.03.2016.

Advice...splitting large chunks of wood.
I hope that this is the right place for this. Last year we were given 8 'cheeses' of silver birch. They are about 18" in diameter and a good 12" deep. They need to be split into manageable sizes but can't work out the best way of doing this. Can someone offer advice please? Thanks.

woodwarm foxfire or morso squirrel 1430
I'm looking at getting a multifuel stove in my new place. There is no gas here, and there is an electric boiler running on economy 10 electric. I'm just looking to run this instead for heating for now, so I'm not tied to clock watching all the time for the cheap economy 10 to kick in. I think it would take too much work at…

All units are on the ground floor and the showroom is north facing so never…

Randall CH timer faceplate removal
I have a 20-year-old Randall 102E7 CH timer, and I'd like to get the front plate off to have a squint at the wiring. The online manual (Danfoss) has a slightly different look to it, and refers to a releasing screw underneath. There is no such screw point on mine (checked with torch and mirror, it's in a tight spot). There…
