The problem is that the hot...
Hi,
Can someone please explain to me why I have only one tank in the loft. I thought there was always a second smaller F E tank that supplies the rads. It appears the one tank in my loft supplies both the taps & the central heating via the cylinder in the airing cupboard. Is this right ...

Hello all!
We recently had a Vaillant ecoTEC plus 832 installed, along with a Vaillant VRT 350f controller! I use Auto mode, and set the programme to come on every day at 6am and switch off at 11pm, and I turned the set back temp down to 5°C (can't we just have an OFF?). The controller sits in...
Hope someone can advise as to my next step. The initial problem was the boiler would go over pressure and blow off, hence resulting in the pressure showing <0. Called heating engineer who diagnosed a pressure release valve problem(prv) so replaced that, again, it went over pressure next...

Hi, any advise would be welcomed.
My boiler has locked out, due, I believe to water overheating. Although the water in the boiler seems to be piping hot, the only water coming from the hot tap is cold. If I let the water cool down over time, the boiler resets ok, but when the water gets hot...

I have a 40 year old Glowworm Hideaway 100.

The boiler has been worked on by a Gas Engineer, but he is stumped and telling me I need a new boiler. I can not afford a new boiler...

If I turn it all off for half and hour it can then be...

I am generally happy with the install, but I do not like that - should I moan in the morning? It is the combi CH output pipe.
A simple question, but so far I've not found a definitive answer:-
Some older boilers use a thermostatically controlled pump overrun switch built into the boiler thermostat.
They are generally factory set and not adjustable.
At what temperature should it switch?
I'm specifically referring to...
Hi, I just moved into a house about a month ago and today I noticed a small gap in the tube above the boiler flue. Is this something I need to call an engineer out asap? I guess so but wanted to post just in case people have explanation of this setup.
