heating

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...

Hi, I have a problem with Viessmann 111w I have a Vicare sensor and app. It goes like this : If I have a boiler in DHW only everything works as it should, but then I switch it to DHW and heating. Temperature in a room is 21 degrees. I set the boiler to come on when the temperature is 17...

Hi All, after some help on how best to approach this one! Removed an existing rad in the bathroom, 500 wide but want to change to a towel rad. I find the existing microbore that goes into the wall frustrating to work with! What am i best to do without it looking a pig? In terms of valves and...

Hi - recently had a new boiler (Veissman 050W-30KW) fitted and have had heating issues since. Not sure if they're directly linked to a new boiler being fitted or not. It was fine for a few days but then the radiators started not heating. The ones upstairs (closest to the boiler) get some heat...

Hi I am new to the forum and I am after a bit of advice please regarding my combi boiler. I had my Worcester Greenstar replaced last year with a Viessmann, Vitodens 100-W 35kw. Everything with the boiler was ok to begin with but within a few months it started to make rapid fire “machine gun”...

My son has recently bought a house that’s fitted with a (fairly old) Worcester 24i RSF combi boiler. This has a strange setup for hot water and central heating control which makes no sense to me. When I downloaded the manual, it seems to confirm that there is no electrical connection that would...

Hello, We have recently moved into a new house which has a Nest Learning thermostat with heat link. The heat link makes a clicking sound whenever we try to turn the heating on, or off again, however it is not actually turning the heating on/off on the boiler. Same when using the app. Hot water...

Our radiator in our living room is only luke warm at the bottom and boiling hot at the top. The pipe into the TRV valve is only slightly warm and the lockshield valve is boiling hot. We had the radiator refitted after some plastering around October last year. The radiator is the closest one to...

Hi All, I live in a coach house property, with a split control central heating system. One thermostat controls the single downstairs radiator by the front door, as well as the 3 radiators in the open kitchen / living room above. A second thermostat in the main bedroom, controls the radiator in...

Hi all, Long time no speak! Since replacing my PCB ignition board, the boiler has been running like a dream! Recently, I have noticed that after the boiler has been running for a time, it starts cutting out...stops for a bit, fires up again then sometimes runs for a bit or for 2 seconds! It...

We have a Boilermate 2000 in our house and up until now it’s been mostly acting fine. However a couple days ago I noticed that when turning up our thermostat the heating wasn’t getting as hot as expected. Following that I noticed that the regular boiler wasn’t starting up straight away but...

Just installed 2 new column radiators in my lounge - replaced old radiators which worked fine. I’ve installed similar rads before without issues. Radiator is stone cold but one valve is very hot (other valve is cold). Other radiators in the house are hot as normal. I have a combi boiler with...

Hi all, looking for some advice. Worcester Combi Boiler high pressure issue. I recently had 2x Automatic Air Vents replaced (Within 2 weeks) This morning I woke up to the sound of the boiler going as normal, but I could also hear a slightly high pitched sound to go with it. I went down...

Hi all, Our upstairs heating controller is a battery powered Drayton Digistat +3 and I need to replace it because it is right behind our bedroom wall and I hear it clicking in and out all night and it's driving me mad! I've been looking for a solid state relay to avoid the mechanical click of...

Do central heating pumps lose their strength over several years and is it worth taking it apart and servicing it? Are the two seals either end 1 1/2 inch or 1 1/3 inch? Also what central heating pump would I need to replace mine (photo) if I needed a new one?

I have a heating system configured with s plan wiring. There are two zones and one pressurised hot water cylinder. The are three 2 port motorised valves. 2 for the tow heating zones and one for the hot water cylinder. When the programmer calls for heat and the respective cylinder or room...
