Just about to order a Viessmann 100w.
Comes with 10 year warranty.
Or £190 extra for 12 years.
The company I am going to use boiler hut, offer a Viessmann service for £100, I was going to skip the 2 year extra warranty, and put the money to getting Viessmann annual services.
For example...
Hi everyone,
I'm the head tenant of a shared house in Dublin, which is heated with a Glow Worm Home 15s boiler.
This boiler was working fine this winter, is usually set the heating temperature to 45 degrees. But today the weather was pretty warm so I lowered the temperature to 22 degrees for...
Hello all
My BAXI boiler suddenly turned off, it has a small screen that is now completely blackout, i have tried switching it off and back on but it doesn't do anything. When the switch is switched on, I can hear the boiler fan noise going but the screen still doesn't show anything.
Here are...
I moved into a new build 5 years ago and don't think the thermostats/heating has ever worked properly. I have 2 Siemens Rev24 thermostats and an Ideal Es35 boiler, running 2 heating zones (upstairs and downstairs). I programmed both thermostats with the same start and finish time, same comfort...
Brand new 18l Zilmet expansion vessel (red) and the neck seems to be blocked by thick black rubber. Is that the bladder, tank is pressurised but can’t be pushed in with a finger.
I just want to check as by the time an engineer comes it’s going to be too late to replace?

Gas boiler shows No Water Pressure. The water feed to feed the system doesn't move gauge. Water dumps overboard. A banging noise starts when the valve to top up the system is opened.
Good morning,
We are looking to install a 2 inch dirt separator to protect a new heat exchanger in an old open vent system, and we are considering either the Spirotrap from Spirotech or Zeparo Cyclone from IMI Hydronics. The Spirotrap is well known, but would be interested in feedback on the...
Hello.
We recently had a combi boiler installed to swap out old plumbing sustem with water tank and gas cylinder. You can see end results in the photos. I would like to ask for your opinion on how well this has been done as I was originally promised only two little pipes coming down from the...
I have found the very useful Balancing Radiators post by Dotty from 2016 (Balancing Radiators Thread. - https://www.plumbersforums.net/threads/balancing-radiators-thread.87115/), but it doesn't say what to do with the TRVs while adjusting the lockshields in steps 7 and 8. Do you just leave them...
Just had a new worcester bosch. 1000 combi boiler to replace 18yr old vokera. No problems with new boiler.
Enquiring about yearly maintenance / safety check and service i £19.00. per month, £228 one off yearly payment. It includes parts and labour if needed.
As new boiler is under warranty...
Hi everyone,
Looking for a bit of advice, recently went to a job where heating was operating when called for however not for the hot water. I have changed the 3 port actuator Honeywell head however this doesn’t seem to have solved the issue, does this mean that the programmer is faulty? Or is...
I have replaced a danfoss timer /switch on a older system to a Drayton LP522 which consist of a hot water cylinder (heater not working) with a cylinder stat. A Honeywell y plan 3 port, a pump and a back boiler but no thermostat. I have checked and checked the wiring and all seems correct...
Customer complained of hot water tank getting hot when no demand
Y plan system couldn't see any issues so I watched it
Timer set to CH only, HW off
Thermostat turned to on
Heating comes on as normal, valve moved to CH position
After around 20 minutes the 3 way valve moves to mid point and...
Hello.
I've just replaced our old Potterton EP2 CH controller with a Drayton Wiser HubR (& peripherals). The old backing plate wasn't compatible with the new universal one, but the wiring was pretty close AFAICT (N, L, 1, 3 & 4 connected) .When I first powered it up but didn't have any TRVs...
Two viessman boilers that work in tandem. Noticed upstairs radiators weren't getting hot because of air.
Turned off boilers, bled the radiators. There was a lot of air trapped, so had to continuously repressure the system was I was bleeding.
About 90 mins later (I was doing other stuff...
Flue Snugs
Hello all new member here.
Flue snugs. I’m seeing a lot of boiler installs on you tube that don’t have flue snugs to comply with Part L building regs.
What are the rules regarding flue snugs, do they have to be fitted on all new boiler installs.
I prefer to use sand/cement...
I have an old FF360 I was thinking about replacing, but in the end it just does not seem economical. It is rated at 78% efficient, so I suppose a new boiler might be able to shave 10-15% off the gas bill, but would that realistically pay for itself? It looks like parts for the Ideal are still...
Hello, bit of a noob question but would someone be able to help me to understand the pipes coming off our boiler. It's a Grant oil combi boiler, and where the pipes come in is in a room at the front of the house. I am about to box them in but I really wanted to understand what the various pipes...
I have large house, 6 beds, 3 reception, 3 showers: Vaillant ecotec plus 37 kW, 16 rads, 3 towel rails and hot water tank. Mostly just my wife and I and we "shut down" parts of the house, unless family visit, and run 8 rads, 2 towel rails and hot water tank.
Based on what I have read it seems...
Hi All
Please see attached photos. Does anyone know if the HIVE app and thermostat and control would work with this oil boiler plse? The thermostat control ( Honeywell) is restrictive as you have little options as to when you can have boiler on and off. It's my elderly father's boiler and I...
