I always turn the water off when we're away for anything more than a night or two. I've always been anal about it. We live in a cul de sac and in the cold winter in 2011 (iirc) a neighbour asked me to help her, she was checking on another who spends months away had opened the door and found a burst in the loft caused damage to the room below and all the flooring on the ground floor (concrete floors meant it spread) I went into my lift and the tank had some ice floating in the heating expansion tank. To this day they still have a duvet as secondary insulation. *loft Just read the title relates to rentals, I have some rentals and personally I'm not too bothered about automatic notification with those. Tenants are quick to let me know about other bits, I'm sure I'd hear in good time. If they are damaged then that's an insurance issue imo.

Three years ago the Father in law was part way through decorating the master bedroom, he's a stickler for detail (and an excellent decorator) so the rad was off as per. There was a slight delay with the new robes being fitted so they broke off to go on their pre booked jolly to Dubai. The day before they were due back the Mrs goes around to put some shopping in for them and put the heating on etc. She arrived to find the ceiling on the floor and absolute carnage, he'd isolated the rad at the trv and the temp had dropped in turn opening back the trv to frost. Open heating system so it just ran for what we think was around 8-10 days.

Just need to be thoughtful of washing machines and dishwashers left on, ours are both switched on whilst the house is empty.

I have 4 rf water sensors dotted around the house, mainly for when we are out but one is in the shower pump sump and another in the cloakroom where we had a leak previously from upstairs but it was unnoticed due to the route it ran. My shower pumps are all on octal relays programmed to the set o/p so they dont run away when we are out too.

Bloody awful things

Assured, CHUBB or ADT? I also find this hard to believe... "Cold call sales lady, had been in, said she had been sent from HO and could you just sign this to say I had been in store "

Yeah, I think he was joking.

That'll be two of you then...

Not a lot you can do then without going up to the bell to disconnect.

Tru Dat ^

like you then? Butter marks from his Spam and egg this morning

So the National installer is not the big bad wolf at the moment anyway?

Prob the issue

Have you been sniffing petrol?

Bello

Hi and welcome, What's the alarm, monitoring and reset type?

Have you charged it ?

Fleabay

F cough.

Meh

From the photo I can even tell you that standing on the street looking from the front of your home you live in the right hand house of two 1960's semi's, used to shop in Sainsbury's and are due a rewire in 8 years Most engineers would see that as a benefit

On the plus side, when id does ignite when you're in bed it's under the dry wooden stairs to freedom so you'll all die together.

The fact you still have 70 on the books speaks volumes though, also can't the psu's on these be trimmed down?

Just very 'unfriendly' imo

My brother in law had one of these, I fitted it second hand from my house in 1994 and up until he moved last year it was still in daily use. fecking horrible things.
