Hello All. I have a Worcester Bosch 24i RSF (NG) that until recently has been working ok (not superb, but does it’s job). What is happening is there is a noise that I can only describe (through my years of working on cars) as, as if it is boiling and knocking maybe “kettling”. This is...
Hi all,
Let me start by saying, my heating works fine. I only know the basics of a system, and this may well be just me and my sensitive hearing...
I have been in my property for 5 years. I had a Wilo circulation pump, which purred wonderfully. I never took a photo of it as a reference, but it...
Why is my cooker going out after a few minutes on my country duo 75 thanks
I recently had a gas safety certificate check done by and my Vaillant Ecotec Pro24 boiler serviced/checked. However a month later and after taking a meter reading it showed that the amount used had nearly quadrupled since the previous month with no change in usage.
Hot water is only set at 50...

Hi all,
My pressure is stable at 1.5 when the boiler is off, but if I switch it on, the pressure rises as expected, but once switched off it will only drop back down to 1.6. This happens exach time the heating is switched on so eventually it gradually rises to above 2 bar and I have to drain...
Hello everyone,
I'm facing an issue with my Vaillant EcoTec 832 boiler and would greatly appreciate your expert advice.
The Problem:
Heating Not Working Normally. When I turn on the heating, it doesn’t start. However, I still receive hot water, suggesting the boiler does work in some...

Any idea why the pressure keeps going up on my combi boiler? I have a Vaillant Ectotec Plus about 15 years old. The heating has been off all summer and the filling loop taps are both fully closed but the pressure keeps going up. I empty about 2-3 litres of water from the system every 2-3 weeks...
Had a few guys to look at it already and they say it could be the gas valve but asked me to contact Biasi (who in the end refused to help). The engineers cleaned or flushed out some pipes but it still continued to make this horrific exploding sound upon ignition of the central heating (but not...
We have a baxi boiler that's serviced every year
It's 6 years old and had a gas valve replaced in 2020.
A British gas engineer serviced the boiler last year and left it leaking water inside it was all dripping out of the boiler.
Another engineer had to come back and fix it. Before he came back...
Hi All
I have a question regarding my heating setup, I moved in 5 years ago and since replaced boiler and added 3 nest controls. I have a system boiler with water cylinder and have three nest thermostats, one controls and turns on the boiler for downstairs apart from the conservatory where I...
W.B Greenstar 4000 installed.
Heating not turned on yet as not cold enough here.
But the boiler runs every day at 0933 (hear it fire and hear water in rads). Rad water runs for literally 3/4 seconds. Stops. Does it again a couple of seconds later.
Then nothing until exactly at 0933 the next...
Dear All,
My hot water cylinder (approx 45 years old) is fitted with a bottom mounted immersion heater controlled via a timer and an Essentials 7" TS220 thermostat bought from Screwfix. The cylinder itself is well lagged with two jackets and the timer kicks in every evening for 3 hours...
I have Gledhill 300L unvented water cylinder storage system with Vaillant Boiler. We are using it for UFH and radiators. My plumber has fitted 2 expansion vessels
1) Zilmet - 18 Litre Red Heating Expansion Vessel & Sealed System
2) MULTIFUNCTIONAL TANKS WITH REPLACEABLE MEMBRANE
Why has he...
I am contemplating of having 2 domestic boilers (35-40 kW each) for the communal heating (no hot water) of a 12-flat residential block that would replace a 50-year old 68kW boiler for the heating.
The waranties for domestic boilers are much longer than commercial boilers. For example, a...

Hi, wonder if anyone can give some advice. Recently moved into a new property. It has external OIL combi boiler which is new and works well.
Downstairs has underfloor heating - which works well.
Upstairs has wall radiators - which work well - but ONLY if the downstairs thermometer is calling for...
Hello,
So we have a two year old boiler and have cleaned / flushed the system twice recently but not all radiators will heat at the same time. All radiators have the ability to heat when the others are isolated so not likely the TRV. have been attempting to balance but seems like maybe not...
- Question
Why are fan convectors meant to be on Constant Temperature circuits? I originally thought that it was because they aren't suitable for lower temperatures, but I recently found that no to be true since you can use them at 55/44 flow and return temperatures (Oversized).
Radiators go on variable...
I am looking for a round top rad like the old Barlow rads. I know Myson Premier HE make one. Is there another company that do? Thanks
Hello team,
we just moved into a new house and after a day of cleaning we thought to test the water pressure while both the showers are on (one located in the main bathroom downstairs, one in the ensuite on the first floor). While the pressure was okay (or at least, better than the previous...
I presently have a Greenstar 24i junior installed, it's probably about 12 years old and getting cranky, the engineer suggested upgrading it to a 30 model sometime, but he just realised that the gas pipes would need changing (from 15mm to 22mm).
My question is, which model would you suggest...
