An increase in electricity demand?

"Electric heaters and cookers were being offered to elderly or sick customers, and those with young children."


Certainly if we lost our gas supply, whilst we aleady cook electric, our heating is gas fired CH. To maintain comfort levels I could see three or four 2 kW fan heaters being utilised for much of the day. As for domestic water heating, a kettle or two. 


I seem to remember a previous gas problem where the local gas supplier took round electric heaters to affected houses and blew a few main fuses....???


The photograph of the SGN vehicle with a sat dish and two air conditioners has me wondering. If the a/c units are to get rid of excessive heat build up, then besides the load of the TWO a/c compressors, I wonder what they have in the van - besides a rather large gene??

    Why do you think the minimum ceiling height for habitable rooms was removed from the Building Regulations allowing cellars and lofts with low ceilings to be turned into habitable rooms, particularly in student and other HMOs?

    Yes but 5.16 of ADB requires minimum of 2m for escape route
