I have been called in to sort a friend's heating system. They were constantly bleeding some of the radiators! The plumbing is a bit of a nightmare, done by the owner but cut and changed over the years. Originally there was a backboiler heating the system, this was removed and an oil boiler added...
Had a new ideal vogue max c32 boiler fitted. The programmer has an “efficiency level” button that says it’s around 9-14%. That seems low.”, worried it’s installed incorrectly

Hi, a bit of advice required.
I've been getting a lot of fast water flowing sounds from three radiators downstairs but not all and upstairs they are quiet, well most of the time. I've bled the system 3 times and also played around with the locks and balancing the system. I can make small...

When turned on is...
I am a not an expert and worried about a boiler installation for my mum. She is 91 and lives on her own (vulnerable adult with dementia). I had a new boiler installed (Worcester Greenstar 4000 30kW Combi) end of August as she needs a reliable boiler.
I visit my mum every 2/3 weeks (I live in...
Evening everyone, I’ve got this lovely little bungalow that I’m struggling to get my head around the heating on. It’s a F and E system with 8 radiators, and I’m not really very clued up on central heating, or even plumbing in general, but the whole set up seems quite odd.
The pipe into the main...

I am having a problem with this immersion heater on the picture, I can't turn it on.

I have noticed recently that when I switch on the boiler to heat hot water, the amount of condensate flowing is much more noticeable than usual, in fact, noticeable by the noise of the water running. Usually, you barely hear the condensate flowing. On the other hand, when the Central Heating is...

I have been looking into why my heating takes ages to warm up - had the system power flushed and lots of things checked... Today, I found this:
This is one of 4 manifold pairs - and it also feeds the worst of the radiators for not...
Hi everyone
I have an issue with my potterton prima boiler and would love some help. It works fine when either CH or HW are on but when they are off the boiler will fire up briefly and cut out again, it appears to be random and for 1\2 sec or severely seconds, it will continue doing this. I am...
Hi
my really old large house used to be a real mess in terms of several old heating systems that were cobbled together and extensions to it.
Not to mentions redundant pipework from Back boilers and a Rayburn/Aga style device in the kitchen.
Now - I have the original gravity fed Potterton...
Hi there, wondering if anyone has any pointers, in the middle of a stressful refurbishment that was meant to finish a week ago! I am completely in the dark about boilers, but we agreed to the recommendation of a new pressurised unvented system that would feed direct off the mains (Vaillant...
In May I had my garage converted into a room & the builders plumber A, fitted a new radiator in there & moved the one in the hall
In June my plumber B, fitted a new gas boiler.
Now I've had the central heating on I've found the 2 new radiators don't heat up - all the other radiators in the...
Hi, ever since I turned off my hot water water to plumb in a new basin, I've had dramas with my central heating. I turned off both the stop-cocks in the airing cupboard... I'm now assuming one was for the hot water and the other was for the heating system. Now when I have both the hot water and...
