Hi I had a boiler fitted about 18 months ago and have found out that it was never registered and I can't get hold of company what should I do
Thanks Darren
Hi there,
I'm a newbie to the Forum so very grateful for any advice received.
I need to identify a valve (make and possibly model) that's attached to my oil tank.
I attempted to change the filter in it yesterday, only to find that there wasn't one in there. It must have been removed by the...
Hi all, can anyone confirm to me what the difference is between a heatslave 15/19 and 20/25 physically? So the reason for the question is if I bought a second hand 20/25, could I strip it down and use most of the parts as spares on my 15/19. From what I can gather, heat exchanger plate, pump...
My Worcester 20/25 is producing an intermittent surging noise, I reckon it's a similar noise to when I have had air in the fuel line after fitting new fuel hose. Could this be fuel starvation noise from clogged fuel filter. I'm told the fuel filter at the tank has not been changed since install...
Hi, I'm new to this forum so I hope I've posted this in the right place. I installed a Grundfos UPS2 15-50/60 (part number 98334549) circulating pump into my oil fired central heating system 4 years ago. Recently on the boiler firing up the pump has not started, there is an intermittent...
- Question
Replacing boiler and will be fitting Grundfos 25-80 Pump (recommended by pump sizing calculator). Any thoughts or advice on Magna1 versus UPS2?
From what I can see the Magna1 is a large beast but space not really an issue for me, but is it actually worth it? On paper specs look quite similar...
Green star oil combi heat exchanger noise day and night water whooshing /gurgling
Recently I needed to re-route very old and dodgy oil pipe from tank to boiler. I dug trench and laid a duct and the engineer used green plastic (Pipelife Qual-Oil?) oil line to do the job. Had cause to have boiler manufacturer out to look at something yesterday and he remarked that this Qual oil...
I have a new Grant Vortex 15/26 oil boiler installed.
It has a boiler thermostat with no numerical information, just a wedge graphic and covers about 1/3 of a turn.
I wondered if anyone could give an indication of what the range of temperatures is likely to be (I don't want to set the boiler...
Recently needing to reset the little red button under the black cap on the boiler about 3 times a week. Always serviced annually. How can I stop this?
Anybody had any experience with a grant vortex air? Apparently a grant blue flame heat only boiler linked to a air source heat pump.
Customer wants one!
Builder at my house went through oil line has been repaired and oil purged back to boiler. Now it wont fire but it doesn't lock out either. Motor runs, fan runs. It goes to fire but then wont hold the flame. keeps trying to ignite every 15 seconds but never locks out. I have checked photocell...
Hi i hope someone can help, a couple weeks ago boiler was not staying on so i thought i would check rads and i bled them and it fired up and was working for a couple of weeks. Now it fires up and cuts out after about 5 mins. I changed the 2 port valve as pretty much every year this fails. Still...
Hi Folks,
Disclaimer up front, I'd normally call in a professional for something like this but in the current climate DIY may be my only option. Our regular plumber, understandably, wont be calling to the house any time soon.
Our heating runs off of a Grant 50-70 + RDB2.2 at the back of the...
Had a call early today to a Grant 36e internal combi.
Fault was no heating but had hot water.
Turns out various engineers had visited and the customer has lost faith.
Forts thing I noticed was an array of parts strewn across the floor, solenoid, oil pump, pressure switch, 2 air vents and a flow...
Hi,
Firstly, I am neither plumber nor heating engineer, just a willing diy, have a go guy.
I have a Grant 26 oil fired combi boiler which started continually leaking water from the prv to the outside. The pressure was at 1 bar until the heating system cut in, when it would increase to 2.5 and...
I have a Grant Vortex Blue 26kw external oil boiler, installed less than 12 months ago. It's had intermittent non-starting problems resulting in multiple warranty visits, part replacements and eventually burner replacement. The replaced burner I discovered was a 'yellow flame' one, apparently...
Hi, just fitted a new fuel pump and control unit to my ecotherm boiler but I still can’t get any fuel to the top of the pump, nothing coming out of the bleed screw but definitely fuel in the bottom of the pump. I checked the voltage to the pump and it’s only 80volts but there is 240volts going...
My boiler began to lock out occasionally every now and then.
Got it serviced
continued to lock out getting more frequent
An engineer came, changed the fire lock out, changed the pump, changed some braided leads to the burner
no change
I clean the oil filter near the tank
I replace the capacitor...
