    Central Heating Fault, Motorised Valve?

    Thanks for the replies. I thought it might be the motor, I changed it earlier today. It's reliable now, in that it will turn on/off on command. However, the mechanism inside seems to operate slowly. Is this normal? Video below, you can just see the gold mechanism moving:

    Central Heating Fault, Motorised Valve?

    Bit of an issue with my central heating this past few days, it's struggling to come on and was wondering if someone here could give me an idea of what's wrong. When I turn up the temperature to trigger the heating, it often seems to fail. It's hard to say how often, because it can work fine for...

    Vaillant Ecotec vs Worcester Greenstar system boiler?

    I know someone selling them, new and boxed. Seemed a good deal. Any thoughts on cylinders? Worcester cylinder too? I guess it's good when as much as possible is same brand?

    Vaillant Ecotec vs Worcester Greenstar system boiler?

    Thanks for the replies. This will be a brand new installation. I'm renovating my property and everything is going to be brand new. From what people are saying, the extra 75 quid would be well spent to get the Worcester, instead of the Vaillant. I have a plumber who is going to fit it for me...

    Vaillant Ecotec vs Worcester Greenstar system boiler?

    If in terms of reliability they're about the same and the difference in heat exhanger isn't a big deal, is the £75 extra worth the extra for the customer service?

    Vaillant Ecotec vs Worcester Greenstar system boiler?

    Wondering which is best to go for here. Everything I read, they seem about even. Vaillant Ecotec I'm told has a stainless heat exchanger and Worcester have far superior customer service. Any advice on these two? :dead: I can get the Vaillant for about £75 less than the Worcester.

    Which hot water system?

    Yeah, that is true and I will do that. I was just wondering what to expect as a rough figure, as I really have no idea where to even begin on labour costs.

    Which hot water system?

    I'm in south Wales. I'd like to move the position of the current boiler as it's not in a good place, though house itself is pretty small, so it wouldn't be going far. Gas runs right through to the back of the house at the moment.

    Which hot water system?

    Thanks for all the replies. Ok, so if the pressure is there, unvented seems the answer. I realize it's difficult to put an accurate price on it, but assuming the the boiler and tank are supplied by me, roughly what sort of labour cost should I expect, to remove the current boilers (there...

    Which hot water system?

    I am looking for some advice regarding hot water systems. I have recently bought a house that I am renovating and the hot water system is going to be replaced, as the current one is ancient. The room configuration is 2 rooms upstairs, 3 downstairs - 2 directly below and another long one in an...
