I don't really know what that means but sounds like it might be expensive.

Hi guys Recently had a Glow Worm FlexiCom 30CX installed and I have a question regarding the thermostat. The boiler they took out was an old Vailant which had been running off a digital programmable room thermostat. When the installers fitted the new bolier they couldn't figure the thermostat...

Yes he is Corgi registered. I'm not a complete fool. He's busy with "other things" after being laid off so doesn't fit boilers for a living at the moment. Didn't know about the energy efficiency requirement so perhaps best not to go down this route. Guess I'd better go and take some pictures...

Good point. He hasn't fitted a new bolier in a while so suggested I look around myself and see what I could afford. I don't think he's ever fitted a condensing boiler. I'd pay the extra grand to have it installed but he's more than competent and as I've just bought the flat (stiched up with the...

Hi I've recently moved into a new flat and inherited a very old Vaillant boiler that seems to have a few issues. I think the model is VCW-sine 18 T3WF H and it must be about 30 years old. The major probelm is that the hot water does not work without the heating switched on (although I...
