Hi Morning, I am looking at a new boiler and hot water cylinder setup for a house I am refurbishing and am getting conflicting advice on my question: Can I use a Combi or System boiler to have a different flow temperature for the hot water tank heater and the radiators. I appreciate the hw...
Hello,
I am having an on-going battle with my energy supplier trying to get a smart gas meter.
I have a Landis &gyr installed which was a replacement for a faulty meter about 3 years ago. The installer at the time told me it was not a Smart meter.
The energy company is insisting its a SMETS1 -...

I have a strange fault with a Vaillant EcoTec combi-boiler.
It's 100% reliable whenever the heating is called for, ie. by the room-stats.
It's also 100% reliable when hot water is called for, ie. hot tap or shower, as long as the heating isn't running at the time. But if the heating is already...
Hi all,
My boiler was kind of new & installed last year July, I know there's build-in frost protection.
Also, there's an old external frost protection (attached photo) that the engineer did not disconnect it when installed the new boiler. I wonder if I need to disconnect/get rid of the old...
Hello, I've got a job where all 24 Trac Pipe connections in a meter room are unwrapped with protective tape, and i've no idea howe many rolls of tape that will get through as i've only used the stuff once. Just after a rough guide really, some pipes have had the sleeve trimmed back a bit more...
Inexplicably a wok gas hob on my cooker is stuck - I have been unable to pull it out even with a crowbar (I kept the tension exerted to reasonable levels).
That wok hob has never worked properly, i.e. the flame that came out of it when the cooker was brand new, was too weak for proper...
Vaillant Ecotec Pro 24. Hi all, we are having issues with hot water as it only stays hot for a few minutes for the taps and shower. You can visibly see the temp on the boiler drop from about 67 for 42 within a few minutes. We removed Mira thermostatic bar and the water remains hot but as soon...
Hi all,
I was previously a member of this forum about 7 years back but lost my login details so started again!
I moved abroad and packed in the gas for a couple of years and then returned to the UK and went to Uni to be a teacher.
After realising teaching is a massive headache I want to get...
Hi
I recently had an IC Economiser Combi 35 installed with piping upgraded from 15mm to 22mm. A different engineer (ie not the one who installed it) came out today to address a pump overrun issue and, in addition to flagging up a couple of settings which were still on factory default and a...
Heating works and hot water- sometimes, but I noticed when I turn the hot tap on the pressure gauge drops to zero.
I've not seen this before. Topping up the pressure doesn't seem to make a difference. As soon as the heating only is on pressure goes back up to 1.5bar.
The thing is the flat is...
Hi everyone,
I've weirdly had two small kind of commercial decommission jobs come in today and i dont do this stuff much. At some point I've had every ticket going but as I don't have a good memory or the time to look it up right now.
I was hoping one of you guys could just shoot some answers...
Hi I just had installed a new Bosch series 4 pgp6b5b90 gas hob. See attached videos of it turned on. It seems there's a lot of gas coming off it. Is this normal?
Hello all! First post on here. I'm newly qualified - could anyone tell me if there is an absolute minimum acceptable gas inlet pressure at the boiler? I understand refer to MIs, make sure it's safe and not affecting any other appliances, but if it's below manufacturers recommendation, correct at...
Would love some advice please:
I had 4 radiators replaced in September as part of a kitchen refit. This included new copper piperwork behind the walls where the Rads are placed. The system wasn’t flushed or anything, just installed and the plumber left.
A few weeks later we noticed that our...
Hi, we have a Clyde CK5 gas boiler with a Reillo burner.
On the front of the boiler it has, as in the photo, the boiler temperature setting on the left, and the shunt pump temp setting on the right.
On the right there is the boiler temp gauge.
Set as it is in the photo, the boiler...

Hi all,

First, I want to turn off the cylinder (hot water tank) handle (please see attached photo arrow pointing), this way the house will no water flow at all, this is to prevent water/pipe leaking/burst which happened last...
