A meter such as this will allow you to see total usage over time. You can also get plug in units that will give you detailed usage of plug-in appliances. Depending on the model of tumble dryer and the rate you are on, it's likely costing more than a Euro per hour to run. You didn't mention...

Yeah, you'd need a solar controller that can provide detailed generation stats to work that out.

In my time I know of many people who robbed banks, just because someone else does something or gets away with something does not make it legal.

Yes, you must achieve the minimum ventilation requirements as set out in the Building Regulations. Remember, old houses are draughty and very leaky in terms of air movement. Insulating external walls will significantly improve air tightness, but with that comes the need to make provision to...

I'd second that, very good advice. Doing so will make a significant difference in the comfort and energy use of your home. Investing a lot up front in solar panels might save you a few quid over their lifetime, but they may end up costing you more.

A mobile home can only be stored on a property for up to 9 months, beyond that planning permission is required.

Yep, that's the figure the CRU set as the national average, all energy providers and price comparison sites must use that same figure for total cost estimates unless you give them an alternative.

@Bronte's is the key point, perhaps consider that there isn't detailed discussion on your specific question because that overall idea is not advisable.

Why are you talking to SSE? Register on the ESB Networks site linked above, it is they who own and manage metering and they make the data available to all energy consumers on a smart meter.

Have you read the other threads yet?

Their assumption being that size would have been factored in already.

You should do unless it was a real budget model. The vendor would have to argue that the normal life expectancy of such a machine was a year, and that's unlikely to succeed for most domestic appliances.

Smart meters don't require a smart plan to be activated, regardless of who your supplier is or what plan you are on, they feed back usage on 30 minute intervals (unless you're one of the few in an area with no mobile coverage). Anyone with a smart meter can sign up on ESB Networks to download...

Can be difficult, but it's all down to the location and whether the local authority think it suitable. People break various laws every day, some get caught, some don't. All it would take here is one complaining neighbour to have you found out and facing a fine in the first instance.

Can they prove they were on the property without the owners permission?

Correct, the RTB site does outline that it is permissible to let rooms individually that would remain outside their scope. No, the legislation allows for owners and tenants. Indeed it even calls out that a tenant must obtain the property owners express permission if they wish to undertake...

If, as they say 'employment grew by more than 80 per cent between the first quarter of 2012 and the end of last year', perhaps 200 closures is more of a correction? There has always been a high rate of failures in this particular industry, less than 50% make it past 5 years.

Shell closed all hydrogen stations there earlier this year and now a few Mirai drivers are taking legal action due to no longer being able to fuel them.

Those are significantly longer distances from most, particularly the distance from the cabinet. In the days prior to FTTH, very few were getting new copper run to get broadband. If you were outside the operating range, you just didn't get it.

Only Virgin services can be carried on their dedicated cabling. Most other options come via broadband via phone lines, and there are multiple providers with offerings there. Sky are pushing new connections to IP services over broadband, it's looking more and more like satellite TV's days are...
