I have had new boiler new rads and pipes and my house takes an hour to heat up by 2 degrees is this right?
 
What's the boiler doing during the hour it takes to rise 2°C? (E.g. on continuously, cycling on and off (how often), etc.) What does the temperature display on the boiler say during the hour? How much gas does it consume over the hour? (Read your meter at the start and finish.)
 
The rads are all hot just takes a while to heat the room. This it may be insulation problem. I am going to see if insulating the floor makes a difference. As I have raised floors it's bloody cold and cold air is constant from below floor
How hot are they? Hot to touch?
If they are insulation obviously needs to be at its best but it sounds like undersized radiators to me.
I presume you have double glazing? What type building and how old?

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
