Hi all.
I recently upgraded our CH system, but rather than the expected drop in gas consumption, Octopus is saying we're using roughly 30% more! The installer has said they can downrate the boiler, but to my mind that addresses maximum consumption, not any inefficiencies there may be relating...

Trying to source a Ranco K36 L1016 thermostat for an old Ideal boiler or any compatible alternatives. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi
How does the weather comp. work when you go to bed.
If you have a lower temperature at night surely the next day the boiler then has to work that bit harder to reach the correct temperature for that day. What do you do?

Hi
I have a Glow-worm back boiler which is giving me grief (I would have upgraded it by now but its a listed building and there's issues with venting through the external wall and I'm reluctant to go with an electric boiler instead (because of the consumption cost)). It's a sealed system. The...
Hi I'm new here so go canny with me.

The clock timer on the Mt10rf transmitter does not work, but it can be used in day mode to get the heating on.
Is Drayton LP10RF a suitable replacement?
I guess the receiver from this would need to be used rather than the existing Worcester one?
I have a ESRTP4RF+ and the heating and hot water are running fine.
My bills have quadrupled over the last month and the m/a button on the receiver is lit red. Is it supposed to be or am I in some kind of manual over ride that's costing me a fortune?!
Trying to find out exactly what happens when my system boiler is called to supply the radiators and hot water cylinder at the same time.
For example today, whilst the boiler was on heating the water, the room stat triggered the boiler to supply the rads. The diverter valve installed in the...
I’ve had an Ideal Vogue 32max/gen2 system boiler to a Megaflo fitted a week and running it at Flow temp 73 degrees to getting a return temp of about 55 degrees C, I’m seeing the LCD screen saying the efficiency level is only 25-28%. Has anyone else seen such a low percentage? I know for a fact...

Sorry posted twice and I dont know how to delete it!
I have a 2 pump hot water tank (Flomax 180L fitted in '94) in airing cupboard system with an Ideal classic boiler (downstairs next to an external wall) which for the most part seems to provide excellent hot water. The central heating also works fine - though sometimes I think the radiuators...

Hello everyone,
Baxi Ecoblue System boiler which was recently serviced just before Christmas. There has since been a constant but slow drip coming from the black nylon plastic drain plug at the back of the boiler which is accessible from the underneath. It does not appear to be from the thread...

Hi All,
In Dec 2023 I had my annual boiler service and asked the plumber to change 2 radiator valves as the radiator in the toilet downstairs was not working. He changed both valves and still the radiator was not working. He put some chemicals in and said it should break up anything that is...
