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...
Green star oil combi heat exchanger noise day and night water whooshing /gurgling
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 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...
Hi
We have a vented oil-fired heating system with a coal fire back boiler, this is going to be changed to a sealed pressurized system tomorrow and I believe, they are decommissioning the back boiler.
I have only discovered today there is no access to the water jacket, so will it be good enough...
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 all.
I am thinking about how to get the most from pv panels. I have a worcester Green star oil Combi boiler about 5 years old.
If I install a mains pressure immersion tank can I convert the boiler to a non combi type? And heat the water in the tank with the boiler.
Also is it possible to...
I fitted this boiler some 18 years ago it's now time for a upgrade and the client has asked me to find a suitable replacement , I am not really doing oil installs any longer so I would appreciate some guidance on a suitable replacement please , I did think of a external boiler but this may...
If any of you engineers out there take one of these Potterton BOA sectional boilers out before taking it to the scrap yard ring me 07977722363 because I want a spare section.
I fitted a brand new section to a 108 and the company did not have the decency to let me know a couple of years or so...
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...
- 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...
Hi,
Newbie here so feel free to teach me the etiquette of this place, and apologies for the lengthy opening post.
The boiler started locking out on Friday after a long period of faultless running, there was a bit of gunk on the back of the (newish) nozzle (Danfoss Nozzle 0.65 x 80 EH) ...
My ageing tiger loop could do with replacing. All I can find online have horizontal connections whereas mine has the connections vertically the pipes coming in from below. I was hoping I could get a straight swap unit. Will i need to alter my pipework as well then?
I have a redundant gas cooker supply to cap, but wondered what the nut on the top of the gas supply bayonet fitting is used for?
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,
I have an oil-fired Aga with a BM oil control valve and a Flexitemp thermostatic control (see the image in this thread for an example).
When I bought the house I was told by the previous owner that the thermostat didn’t work and so he (and now I) have always run it by setting the flexitemp...
We have an outdoor Worcester Bosch Greenstar 25/32 Oil Fired Combi.
We are getting a random lockout fault, code 855 9F. Pushing reset sorts it for a while sometimes an hour sometimes 4 hours.
I can't get hold of the engineer that installed it. Is there anything I could try until he responds...
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...
Morning,
I'm planning chimney maintenance work in July. Its a stone chimney, cement rendered above the roofline with wood burner and stainless lined flue installed 8/9 years ago. There is no ventilation of the space in the chimney around the liner. Is there any reason why I shouldn't put a...
