I had one of these fitted into my home to replace an old back boiler nearly 3 years ago. It was a bit oversized but as we were planning an extension and new radiators we thought that was best. Providing your installer range rates it you should not get S53 code. (I know this as I was quite...

I will redeem myself by saying I meant adjusting the range rating if necessary, not the temperatures!!!! :oops:

This may sound a stupid question but is it ok to do this whilst the boiler is on. I will get this information as I am very interested myself but it will probably be after Christmas now. We had a few problems after the drain down yesterday with airlocks and the boiler not firing which got...

I forgot about the British Gas quote!! The British Gas quote was the only one that calculated on number of radiators, insulation etc. I think we only needed about 12kw, however the other would be installers seemed to think we would need more as our house is quite cold. We do not have a hall...

I went by the installers recommendation. I had 3 quotes, all recommended Vaillant Ecotec Plus, 2 recommended the 418, the 1 selected (not the cheapest by the way) went with the 428. I knew nothing about heating systems at this point in time, still dont really, just got a bit addicted to this...

Many thanks, I will see how it is when I get home, anythings worth a try. Could be worse I suppose and have no heating at all. I have no problems with my heating engineer at all. Everything was done by the book when the new boiler was installed in January this year. He is local and popped in...

I think I have one of these, but it has a soft grey covering over the end, so I do not know if there are any numbers on it. My heating man definitely did not adjust this. Is it easy to adjust and how do I do it? But as I said I am at work so will have a good look tonight and if necessary get...

Im not at home at the moment so cant upload picture. The pump sits between 2 valves (I think) and it was these that he tweaked. There are 2 other "things" that can be adjusted but am reluctant to touch anything. Just mystified that it happened so suddenly, no gradual build up of noise or...

Sorry to keep on about this!! Last night on pump setting 3 - lots of noise, turn pump down to 2 much quieter with just occasional noise. So when the heating and water went off last night I put the pump back to 3 to enable me to turn it down to 2 and quieten it this morning (hope this makes...

I'm pretty sure its not coming from a rad. It can be heard in the airing cupboard, the 2 bedrooms either side of the airing cupboard and the lounge chimney breast on what I assume is the pipework to the old back boiler. Our new boilers been in nearly a year tho!!!

Just an update on this and would welcome any other thoughts. Got home yesterday, heating had been on about an hour, all lovely and warm but still this noise. Then it quietens right down. Heating engineer called round for a "listen". but of course nowhere near as noisey as it had been...

There was no air in radiators and only a little came from pump. How would I "refill properly" ? This is an open vented system and wouldnt have a clue how to refill!!!

Last night a noise suddenly started up whilst our heating was running. It sounds like rain falling onto a tin roof and is more or less constant. The heating had been on for over 5 hours and the noise started suddenly. The only thing we have done differently is to turn our room stat up from 20...
