Hello

I am having a new system boiler to replace very old cast iron open vented jobbie.
heating engineer has offered an S plan system and a Main eco compact.
My understanding is that S plan will return water at too high a temperature for boiler to run efficiently and stops weather compensation.
Good afternoon

Hi, I need to drain my vokera 29 boiler in the attic as Im going away for 4 weeks at least to
make sure there are no frozen pipes.

Hi
