boiler

Hi guys, Recently had someone install a new immersion heater when moving into a new place and didn't have the time to go through it properly with them. Installed a baxi 150 dual element heater (hot water only) with EPH controller. Been having constant issues running out of hot water and after...

Hi all. So I have an inflatable hot tub circa 1000ltrs which I bought an LPG (Cavan style) boiler and made it into a heating system for the tub which worked great. I have a pump that draws water from the hot tub and pushes it through the boiler and then returns it to the HT. The garden is...

My hot water tank Immersion switch 2 is stuck in the on position but I'm not getting any hot water. Switch 1 has never worked. So I was told that it could be the fuse that had blown so I changed it for a new one and it's still not working. I saw a video that there a small black button on the...

I have an ideal logic ES38 boiler and last week had a new radiator installed to our garage conversion. Today the pressure has dropped a few times in a few hours. Firstly, could this be related or just a coincidence? Secondly, I watched a YouTube video on how to top up the pressure (clueless...

I visited my parents house (3 bed semi detached, two showers) the other day and they told me that they paid £300 in utility bills last month. They have a smart meter so I did a quick experiment by turning off the HW cylinder and the daily cost dropped significantly. So I'm thinking that perhaps...

Looking to change a flu in a first floor flat. We’ve just had a quote for £5000 from British Gas to change the boiler and fit a new flu. This seems excessive particularly as the boiler installation would normally not be more than £2000. The boiler is in the kitchen at the back of the...

We have a standard dial room thermostat in the hallway but we want to replace it with one that can be moved a round when ever we want, what sort of kit do I need? Do we need a wireless room thermostat, does that mean wiring in a device where the old room thermostat is to communicate with the...

morning guys so basically my boiler's on the blink. radiators work fine at the proper temperature but hot water doesn't. it heats the water for maybe 5 seconds half-heartedly then it goes cold. have tried repressurising it and resetting the digital board, which did not work. it's a combi...

Hi, had a plumber come over to recharge the expansion vessel for my hot water tank. After the recharge, when the taps were opened, brown water spluttered out of taps for about 3 minutes. The plumber seemed a bit confused about this and suggested that if it continues it may be a torn membrane in...

We have a leak and ripped up the floor.. Found a bit of pipe that looks like this (image attached) The boiler was loosing pressure quickly about 0.5 bar of pressure every 15 mins. Since this bit of pipe was fixed the pressure is holding for longer but still dropping, much slower (about 0.5...

Hi, I am looking for advice on this grille / vent. Having viewed a property and looking back at the photos.. it appears this grille is directly behind the boiler? Is this normal? I thought usually, these are vented by a flue etc. Any suggestions would be much appreciated (photos attached)...

My boiler has started making a whistling/moaning noise when it is firing up, it happens just as the flame light comes on, any ideas what it could be? It was serviced about 8 weeks ago. Here is a video clip of it

Hello everyone, I’m seeking advice regarding an issue with my heating system after the installation of a new boiler two weeks ago. The upstairs radiators were not working after installation, and the heating engineer who performed the installation advised that the issue should resolve within...

Bit of a weird one (sorry for the complete layman wording) We've just bought a house. Boiler is outside, has a small black and grey thermostat attached to it. (Picture attached) Has an IBO NOVA 25-40/180 pump attached. (Picture attached). There is from what I can see NO TIMER inside the...

I need to move my boiler vessel to decorate and noticed that there is a nasty bend in the pipe. Does it matter where I put the vessel back after I have decorated. Can I put it at any angle.

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?
