Re: Heures Creuses not working

bigglesworth, we pay 0.0935 euros per kwh for pleines and 0.0578 €/kWh for creuses. The control switch is on the water heater, right enough, but the off-peak price applies to all the current you are...

Re: Heures Creuses not working

Thanks bjgironde. So what you seem to be saying is that it is likely to be the 2A breaker which is defective, as this is what sends the switching signal to the plein/creuse breaker. Is it possible to...

Re: Heures Creuses not working

Thanks for the information! It sounds like we owe you a pastis! We're not with EDF, we're with what was Poweo until a few weeks ago and is now Direct Energie, but they are just energy resellers and...

Re: Heures Creuses not working

Thanks, we'd appreciate any advice we can get from a professional!

Heures Creuses not working

The switch on our MCB which is supposed to switch the hot water heater on when the Heures Creuses kicks in is no longer working. It did for a while, then it became intermittent, we thought possibly...

Re: Travel insurance in France

If you have taken out an 'E' form certificate of entitlement (equivalent of the old E101s, E106s etc.) then technically I believe you have de-registered from the UK NHS and from your UK GP. The NHS...

Re: Expats in the st genix area near chambery

We bought a fairly modern house but it still needs quite a bit doing to it. The intention was not to buy a "project". When we bought ours last spring there wasn't a lot on the market, but it is in a...

Re: Expats in the st genix area near chambery

Hi Carol! We bought our house through Novalaise Immo and the agent there, who lives locally, told us that one of his children has an English boy in his class, so there are clearly other expats in...

Re: Expats in the st genix area near chambery

Yes, a coffee or an apero would be great. Do you have a favourite café? We don't know Aoste at all. I am guessing you are working, so would prefer an evening or weekend meet?

Re: satellite tv

It certainly sounds like you're getting Astra 1 at 19.2E and not Astra 2D. If you say part of the dish is obscured by a wall, maybe the wall is deflecting the signal in some way? Could you mount...

Re: Indian or Thai curry ingredients in the Chambéry area?

I tried to grow some chilli plants from seed last year, but we had to go away for 10 days and we had nobody to water them, so most died. I attempted to bring the survivors with me when we moved...

We are carefully nursing a Kaffir Lime tree in a pot, so we have the leaves for Thai curry. :)
