	If the rest of the wiring is being done then of course it would make sense to sort it.

	but obviously with it being in a kitchen only someone who is qualified to do it could have done the chasing etc. Unless of course you have already notified the local council of the changes your making......

	I rest my 'it looks rough' case. Should have put a spur above that singe socket and chased the wire in. Tidy FTW

	In our old old old house the boiler just plugged into a normal socket.... My 1st ever attempt at tiling aswell :cool:

	yeah mate, 3amp fuse for modena
Terry12	posted on 4th Oct 10 at 18:05
	It's a Modena boiler, when you say removeable fuse I take it you mean fuse in the plug?
deanmcreynolds26	posted on 4th Oct 10 at 17:45
	its absoloutley fine on the plug as long as there is a removable fuse, should be a 3amp fuse for it, only new boiler i know with a 5amp fuse is the baxi ecogen

	Sound like the best idea!
Terry12	posted on 4th Oct 10 at 14:50
	I personally think it looks rough and want it on a fused switch for it. The previous owner has taken spurs from the back of wall sockets all over over the house. This is more than likely why only 2 plug sockets are working, as they're run off the garage circuit for some reason. My cousin is an electrician, he's coming down Wednesday. We'll be ripping all the crap out and starting again.

	Wouldnt want a fixed applience on a socket. Just looks rougharse. Fused spur ftw

	nothing wrong with it being plugged in, if you really want to put it on a fuse spur just take one from the back of the sockets most new combi boilers should be fitted with a 5 amp fuse
Terry12	posted on 4th Oct 10 at 12:39
	Seriously? That good news, going off the state of the wiring in the rest of the house I was sure it'd be wrong.
Rob_Quads	posted on 4th Oct 10 at 11:22
	Nothing wrong with it being plugged into a normal socket. Many of the newer boilers are done this way
Terry12	posted on 4th Oct 10 at 09:53
	I've just got the keys to my new house, the combi boiler is in the garage and is wired to a plug which is just in a normal socket. I want to put it on a wall mounted kill switch like you have on a cooker. If British gas see it plugged in to a normal socket would it be condemned? What amp rating switch do I need and does it need it's own circuit in the fuse box.
