Hi Our home doesn't retain heat in the bedrooms, we had all upstairs windows replaced last year. The biggest room is 3.5 x 3.26 and the smaller room is 3.03 x 2.60. They have single panel radiators in and we have the heating on for a couple hours in the morning and a couple hours in the evening...

Hi I've just moved into a house and the existing room thermostat is held together with sellotape. It's a Drayton Combistat. I wanted to replace it with a Honeywell DT4 1 channel wired thermostat. Is that possible ?, the reviews are the wiring diagrams are not helpful. So I've attached a...

Hello, A few days ago we started working on a property that was recently tenanted. The tenant had not mentioned any heating issues but the house is not getting warm enough. The boiler is a Ideal Logic Combi2 C24 connected with a Honeywell Home thermostat system. At first there was no heat, then...

I have a toilet downstairs without a radiator, it’s always cold in there, when heating the rest of the house that room doesn’t heat up. Once open the door it cools down all the halway, and keeping the door open whilst heating blocks the entrance to kitchen. Can I install vents top and bottom of...

Hoping for a bit of assistance. I have two rads in my loft hot at the bottom but cold at the top. I have a vented system with 10 radiators in the system. All of the rads on the ground floor and first floor are working perfectly. The issue is the two in the loft. They are hot at bottom and cold...

Hi, I have recently moved into a 3 story terraced house built in 2011. When I moved in, the house utilised a danfoss heating system that I wasnt familiar with. Inside the airing cupboard (which is situated on the top floor) was a danfoss FP715 Si 2 channel programmer for heating and hot water...

I'm attending a wet underfloor heating system, it's an old one ..No flow meters, just adjustable valves on the returns with conventional electric actuators on the flow pipes. Problem is , one loop isn't heating the floor (timber suspended) . I've bled the loop via a hosepipe, shut off all the...

Hey I’m in need of some help. Ideal logic combi 30 been empty for months, finally filled it this weekend and fired it up. Flow gets hot but doesn’t seem to circulate just sit in the immediate bit of pipe and slowly trickles upstairs, the pipe ts off upstairs and downstairs but no hot water...

We are in the process of buying a house and the surveyor has spotted a leaking radiator pipe. The copper pipe that sits under the screed in the floor has corroded due to contact with concrete and leaked. When I went to view it again, I could see some cladding poking out. My questions are 1...

Turned the heating on for the first time at the weekend and nothing happened. It was fine last winter and the hot water has been turning on and off with the timer fine all summer. I pressed all the buttons I could think off, turned the programmer on and off and fiddled with the thermostat. No...

Hi, House/boiler is mid-90's. I am updating my froststat (it physically broke and has been coming and staying on) and I have found that it is on a PERMANENT live (on voltage checking) despite the boiler switch overriding its effect, (ie fully turning off boiler), so I presume that the boiler is...

Hi, I'm after some advice for switching our current heating system. We are in the process of buying a house and I am looking at replacing the house regular/conventional boiler (Hot water cylinder + water tank) with a combi boiler. I am trying to understand which sized boiler would be best for...

I've recently bought a flat and the current system is ancient. Theres a hot air heating system and immersion hot water tank and no radiators either. I want to move away from gas if possible and be purely electricity. What can I do to achieve this? I've looked at electric raditators like this...

Can anyone tell me what boiler would be suitable to replace a Glow worm micron 30ff ?

Hi All, Bit of an odd query. We are going through a renovation project that’ll take a few years due to funds and ongoing life, but we need to get hot water sorted asap. We need a temporary stop gap solution for hot water while we wait for our gas connection to be made, approx 3 months for SSEN...

My neighbour has a Glow-worm micron 40ff that may need the flue replacing at some point. Can anyone tell me are Glow-worm horizontal flue's pretty much a standard size? BG have said and I've heard this time and time again that they cannot get the parts anymore including the flue's but that's...

Hi guys so I live in temporary accommodation (places for people) and I live in a flat with economy 7. Now the problem is only the hot water runs on e7. My heaters are not storage ones. I was told it’s because they’re cheaper to run as they don’t need to charge. But I’m a single mum with a 15...

I have had this problem for sometime now and people were helpful indeed on a previous post about this last year. I have an open system and 9 radiators in my house and one of them in the living room is proving to be difficult, I get heat at the TRV side but not the other and the whole rad is...
