Hello just joined and my 1st post on here .
My friend has had a new combi boiler fitted then asked the same engineer a few months later to install 2 double panel radiators where the 2 single small panel ones were too small ,( they worked great got piping hot but there was just not enough output...
Hi
Sorry I can't find my original first post which stated the problem I had with a plumber. To update you all he finally admitted fault and came out last week to rectify the pipe work problem.
Im now left with another issue.. Sigh!
He's probably messed up my motorised valve that feeds the...
Hi there thanks for your time to look at this.
I've got a multi pump / circuit system which is connected via a relay box to the boiler and Honeywell timer programmers. Picture attached.
Right now any single circuit can turn the boiler on an off at any time (assuming the programmers allow it)...
Can anyone offer any advice on a total mystery pressure loss on a Vaillant Eco Pro 28 combi boiler? Here's the background:
Almost total pressure loss every 1-2 hours. Apparently the equivalent of several pints of water each time
When pressure is up, heating and hot water functioning fine, so...
Hi
I have a Vokera 15 vhe boiler and all has been running well for the last 6 months since moving in up until a few weeks a go.
Boiler throws up a flashing 79 code.
Try restarting the boiler straight away but I have to wait 10 minutes for it to cool down before it works.
I reset the boiler...
Alright chaps,
I’m a bit embarrassed to actually ask this but need some help with something relatively simple.
I need to figure out the Btu’s required for a large open planned room but it’s a bit different from a ‘normal’ room and I’m so used to using a app to calculate sizes and my minds...
I've had two suppliers tell me they'll size the rads in a new build, the only info they want is the size of each room.
They said they don't need to know about windows, Insulation, what's above it or below as it's a new build.
I've heard that it's ok to oversize rads so that you can get a lower...
I’ve a conventional gas boiler and unvented water tank which is probably about 500l; it’s two mètres tall and about a meter across.
I get good hot water pressure at a good temperature (it’s set at 60c) but only enough to fill about 10cm of the bath before it runs cold.
Does anyone have any...
I have a Vaillant Ecotec plus 637 boiler. The pressure is very high and pegged to the right - water is dripping out of the outside overflow through the Pressure Release Valve. An engineer has replaced the expansion vessel and checked the filling loop.
The pressure gauge is still pegged. (Note...
Hi,
I really hope someone can give me some advice! I recently moved into a rented property and landlord won’t pay to get my boiler checked as they say it’s something I can do myself. I’ve read the manual but it doesn’t answer my questions...
My heating has developed a new and unwelcome quirk just recently, which is that it's sporadically failing to provide hot water. This is something that happened a few weeks back, but it seemed to go back to normal, but in the past couple of days it has happened again each day. We have a...
Hi all
Just seeing if this is a common method of providing a boiler bypass thesedays as there seems so many ideas out there, years ago if we needed a bypass a gate valve was the answer but no longer classed efficient and others not suitable due to the smart pump.
The system is a sealed...
I have a Honeywell value (V4073A1039) which doesn't seem to be operating correctly, basically not opening when using heating and not closing when using water. The issues is shown in this video.....
Good Evening from sunny Clevedon. Heat Exchange was changed 1 year and 13 days ago. I fitted a new no flow thermister, which I was told would be the main suspect but has made no difference.
Any advice ? I have a big pan on the boil all the time for shaving and doing the washing up but I rather...
Whilst filling out the new benchmark during the commissioning of a boiler I noticed on the servicing section that there is now a requirement to annually test the concentration of the inhibitor in the system.
Why is fairly obvious, but it’s more the real world how?
Great if you fitted the...
I have a Glow.Worm 30HXI boiler running on LPG. It has been excellent and no apparent problems or fault codes.
Currently not running heating; just used to heat up water for an hour, a couple of times a day.
I noticed a bit of a gas smell from the external vent and the boiler firing up and then...
Hello,
I'm not a plumber, and may get some of the terminology wrong in this post, please don't shoot me down for it.
Since moving in to our home several years ago, we've had issues with the performance of our central heating. In winter, the living room can take up to two hours to get upto 18C...
Hi, I am not in UK and the rising fuel and gas prices are forcing me to change my boiler to an efficient one. Right now I have an old non condensing boiler which is way oversized and consumes 1.75m3/hr so I am looking at an efficient gas boiler to support attached load. I plan to buy it from UK...
single pipe system pipework blocked ? System is 7 rad single pipe in a bungalow fed by Worcester combi boiler. After many years of being hottest house on earth rads are struggling. Service engs [ same ones for many years] have changed pump , cleaned with sentinel 800 [ though i don't believe it...
potterto boiler 23 years old, Drayton mid point actuator.
Central Heating only works when water also on & stat works normally. When CH only, the stat shows a bright light when calling heat and dim light when at temperature.
I changed the stat and it made no difference.
The three way valve seems...
