Are all the electrics for an oil central heating and hot water system (pump, timer, stats, etc.) usually all off a dedicated mains fuse? Or all on the same fused spur from one of the rings?
Or is it common for one of the appliances to be on one ring, another on another, etc.?
The reason I ask is that we suffer from constant power cuts, and I'm considering giving myself the option of another supply, either from a standalone diesel generator or from batteries, thereby enabling us to keep the heating going. I'd like to have the electrics for the heating system on their own plug, which could be plugged either into a mains socket or a socket powered by another supply.
Thanks in advance!
