boiler

Hello! Previous owners had their washing machine plumbed in underneath the boiler and we’re looking to do the same. My best guess is that they’ve used the cold water pipe circled in red for water in, and then just stuck the waste pipe from the washer into the open pipe circled in blue. What...

Looking to change my old thermostat to a digital but not sure how it needs to be wired up with the existing wires if someone could help please.

Drained down the heating to change rads. Nearing the end of the job and have decided to add a magnetic filter to the system (open vented - gravity fed) as old radiators had quite a bit of sludge at the bottom. I get that best location is on return between last radiator and boiler. However...

I opened my boiler to see if I could see where the leak I have is coming from and it looks like from this black bit (I'll put photo). Is this a common thing to leak and is it an easy fix for a plumber?

I had my boiler serviced on Tuesday, and 2 days later it has started to make a loud vibration noise, boiler engineer came back and said the water was overflowing from the condensate trap in the boiler, he cleared it and said if it happens again it is likely a blockage. Guess what, 2 days later...

Hello, I have an issue with my Potterton Promax 33 Boiler Issue today, it is making a banging noise around 30 secs after opening the hot water water or turning on the central heating. Firstly, I thought it is the plate heat exchanger but I thought that would only cause banging noises upon DHW...

Have just moved into a new flat, and boiler isn't allowing me to set the timer at all. Tried all instructions and turning it on and off to re set - still nothing.

Hi New Greenstar condensing boiler fitter last year. Sits low on wall in dining room. Recent heavy rail flooded our dining room - water coming out of boiler. Got the installer/plumber round. he said the rain was coming down flue, and as there is creeper on the wall, rain came off leaves (leave...

Hi all, I have a Vaillant EcoTec Plus 630 gas boiler with a hot water tank. I first noted issues with the heating not engaging when I turned it on via a Honeywell ST9400C control unit. The thermostat would click to engage but the boiler did not respond. After some faffing around with turning...

Hello I am currently in the middle of a loft conversion in which we are installing a second shower in the new ensuite. I'd be really grateful for advice on what heating system upgrade we require to be able to adequately serve the ensuite shower in the loft while the existing shower is running...

Hello guys! We have an Ideal Classic FF series boiler in the house. It seems to be only single circuit/zone. When we have it on it heats the hot water for the storage tank in the hot press (yes, I moved to Ireland..Airing Cupboard for the rest of you ;) ), but also pumps water to the...

Hi there. I’m hoping to get some pointers on how to deal with this issue. We have a Viessmann Vitodens 050 boiler. The PHE was changed in December 2023. essentially, whenever the hot water is used the temperature of the water gets really hot, then cool, then a bit cold, then back to hot -...

Hi, We're starting phase 2 of a refurb using different builders and have a gas pipe with connection - yellow pipe from main that transitions to copper tube - that the new builders plan to concrete over in what will be the kitchen. They mentioned putting a membrane over it. I remember the...

Hi all, I've got a problem with my gravity fed hot water cylinder that started last week and I was hoping for some opinions or ways of troubleshooting the issue, as I'm completely stumped now.

I have a vaillant boiler which is giving hot water but not heating. None of my radiators are heating up, can anyone help?

The oil that comes through the copper pipe connects to a steel pipe about 10cm long that goes to the burner but that pipe has a bore of around 8mm, is this too big? I cleaned all the carbon build up in that short bit of pipe expecting to reveal a hole of around 4mm not 8mm?

Hello, I have a Worcester greenstar 28i junior combi boiler. We had a bad leak from the back right of the boiler, we had a gas safe qualified plumber come out and he changed the whole right hand block. The leak stopped - fantastic we thought. But we then started noticing radiators were hot even...
