Hello and happy Easter everyone, hope you're having more fun than me! Friendly advice needed please.
Long story short, we arranged to have a 2 day 2 engineer installation of system boiler and unvented cylinder, replacing a heat only boiler and unvented cylinder with broken coil. Got 3 quotes...
Hi all,
We've bought a property that has a Worcester Greenstar 37CDi boiler installed, with an old British Gas RS2 Thermostat linked to it. I'm not clued up on boilers in any way, though I'm quite handy with mechanics and always like to learn how things work.
The problem: The internal Bosch...
Hi folks, just a regular member of the public here, learning all he can before having a new combi-boiler and radiators installed in my old victorian flat. For years I've just had some fan heaters! But now it's time to upgrade.
I'm fairly techie, but I can't see why your would range-rate a...
The small bore pipe to 4 radiators was completely clogged up. One radiator stone cold , others barely luke warm. Those plumbers that bothered to quote said ‘power flush’ but would not guarantee any success. So I tackled it myself, ripped up the floor boards and traced back the small bore that...
Hi all,
A gas engineer has inspected my property and suggested that I go with a combi boiler, even though I want to support two showers and a bathtub in the near future.
To compensate, I am now looking at the following two, due to the high flow rates (both with modulation 10:1 - so should be...
Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie here, a layperson homeowner, stopping by in desperation to try and get a better understanding of my options regarding a diagnosis.
I have a conventional gravity heating system (cold water tank).
British Gas put in a new boiler and replaced most of the other bits...
Hi all
I've been reading about the Drayton Wiser system and along the way I began to go down a rabbit hole learning about heating system optimisation and efficiency and i've come to the conclusion that the boiler in my property is way oversized for the requirements,
The property is a 4 bed...
Just had a Grundfos UPS3 installed, replacing old UPS.
Working well, but I wish to understand a little bit more about the Proportional Pressure (PP) mode
If I run it in Constant Curve (or Speed) mode, CH & HW are fine, pump running.
If I go to PP mode CH & HW outputs are still fine.
BUT, the...

Hi,
I have noticed my boiler Viessmann Vitodens 100-W(B1HC-26) makes a series of short cycling before starting to heat. Boiler is controlled by Baxi uSense room thermostat connected via Opentherm. I installed some monitoring equipment to get the better understanding of the problem. Bellow is...
Hi all,
I just joined the forum as I couldn't find help just being a lurker. :)
I just bought my first house (yay me) and it's a new one. The installation has been done my a bunch of different people and the plumber himself couldn't explain fully what he's done (yes, you read it right). I...
When I turn on our CH there's a lot of noise from one specific part of the system - the pipes on the landing, and one radiator. It sounds like air, and the landing radiator needs bleeding regularly (about once a month), even though it isn't the highest point in the system. The two upright rads...
One of our installers currently fitted a new heat only boiler to replace an old floor standing with gravity hot water. At the time he never fitted any valves or cylinder stat etc so I have been called back there to basically start again. Been there today to do it and found that he had the pump...
Hi,
Recently noticed that it takes approximately 11 pints of cold water to come through until we get luke warm water out of the hot tap. This happens on Kitchen tap and both the Shower room and the bathroom. Baxi engineer has been out 4 times and said all is normal but said he would change the...

We have applied for and are having a 'free replacement' boiler under the government scheme.
They will fit a Potterton Baxi replacement (tank fed) and Plume kit? boiler exhaust outlet is close to a kitchen window apparently
I'm just wondering what to expect apart from draining the system...
Hello all and Merry Christmas,
We are in the process of planning the replacement of our 50-year old heating boiler serving a residential block of 12 flats with a total of 60 radiators. It is a vented single-pipe heating system, which has not been properly maintained, and we only recently...
I am new to the UK and just bought a house in Norwich. It has a vented cylinder and vented CH that is suffering from pretty severe corrosion, some of the rads are rusted through, so I would like to replace it with a sealed system. The rads are all plumbed in 10mm, so I would like to replace that...
Hi,
I'm working with a plumber who have developed a small new device to help with the movement, fitting and lifting of radiators to hopefully make this quicker, easier and safer. We've got the world's first patented prototypes and I'm looking for a plumber who regularly fits radiators, in...
