Hi all - sorry to post as a newbie. I'm a homeowner - although with some technical bent ...
We have an ancient (probably 1987) oil boiler Perrymatics Jetstreme Mk2 running on Kerosene. Works beautifully. Have had it serviced until a year or two ago - and not since the pandemic ... This heats...
God how I hate this thing! So the problem with this thing aside from it being filthy and inefficient is that the boiler keeps cycling and on restarting has an explosive ignition. I've checked and rechecked the levels of the boiler burner, flushed the central heating pipes and all the rads and...
Boiler is Worcester Heatslave external 18/25. We were notified of a pending power-cut for today a few days ago. Electricity was due to be off for 12 hours but fortunately came back on after about 6. I assumed that I'd be able to draw the hot water from the 51 litre tank whilst the power was off...
My Danesmoor is on last legs. Actually was when I posted on here two years ago asking about Firebird as a replacement, but limped along. Now however the writing really is on the wall so need to replace this summer.
Heating engineer is wedded to Firebird but not heard good things about out of...
Hi,
I have a Warmflow 70/90 deluxe oil boiler (approx. 23 years old) and the high limit thermostat has tripped (I probably had the boiler stay turned up too high). The orange light is on but I can’t seem to locate the reset button on this model anywhere.
If anyone can point me in the right...
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...
Hi
Is it possible for a DIYer to replace an expansion vessel and hose? It's an external grant vortex boiler and from what I've seen online it looks simple enough
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
Bit of advice needed regarding replacing an old Stanley range .Solid fuel.I am trying to source a second hand solid fuel range to heat about 8 rads and also to cook on .My current old Stanley 8 just does the hot water and about four rads badly.No oven and never hot enough to even boil potatoes...
Had a leak on oil tank pipe fitting landlords plumber has said leak was due to small elevation on back of tank “brick” I know it’s bad practice not disputing that but I say olive was never fitted correctly as it’s loose on pipe please see attached vid any opinions would be appreciated
I started having issues with my heating and hot water, I thought I had ran out of oil, however, when I filled up with 400 litres, the guy told me that my 1000 litre tanks is completely full, so the issue was not oil tank being empty.
Now when I try to get the boiler to work, it seems oil is not...
I'm not quite sure I'm placing this message on the right branch.
I need to install a kerosene heater RMC-95C6B in my friend's van. I'll have to find my own place and work with the tree, I can handle it, but he wants to install a thermostat. How do I connect them to each other so that they work...
Is there anyone out there who has come across this problem.
Our boiler locked out so pressed the reset button and it seemed that all was fine. Red light went out and fan started etc. About an hour later noticed nothing seemed to be warming up. But motor was still running and no lockout. Called...
My apologies as this question has probably been asked loads of times.
We moved into a new house in Jan which has an oil boiler, the room that houses the boiler is always warm, sometimes like an oven.
The radiator that's directly above where the boiler is is always on, mainly warm but sometimes...

Hi
We moved in to a new house (a 200 year old cottage) 2 months ago and had the boiler serviced just 2 weeks ago.
The guy said that the boiler has had some good money spent on it in the past and that it should be working perfectly.
However I noticed over the past few days that the water...
Does anyone know the
difference between the model B9a burner installed on the Worcester Heatslave 12/14, and the B9b in the 15/19?
On the face of it there doesn’t seem to be much difference.
Unfortunately the B9a that I have got has had bits robbed off it so it’s difficult to do a direct...
Hi guys, will be grateful for your advice. Riello rdb1 in Grant combi. When boiler has been switched off for several hours on start up burner cycles properly and boiler runs OK. Having reached operating temp with heating and hot water all fine, on demanding heat once again the fan motor runs but...
