Hi All, Does anyone have experience with this type of single room heat recovery units? Getting a lot of condensation in the bedrooms and seen these advertised. Retrofitting a full MVHR would be extremely difficult and expensive. We're in a flat roofed bungalow so not interested in a simple...

Gasguru. You are welcome to pop by and opine/quote. I'm between Guildford and Horsham.

Ok, I've had a look at the boiler faults and it looks like I'm getting a lot of F.23s and a few F.20s. I can't get into the menu to check settings - I have the user and install PDFs but it's not playing ball. Also noticed both the flow and return pipes are leaking under the boiler. Maybe time...

All, really grateful for the fast feedback. We discussed a bypass valve but he thought "decoupling the boiler from the heating" would give a better and more consistent result. Although it's a bungalow, it is a pretty large 5 bed property, 2 bath and 3 reception. Sitting room/kitchen is...

Approx 5 years old now. Everything was replaced including pipework. Motorised valves everywhere. Rads have Thermostatic valves as well. No bypass valve installed; it was discussed with the recent plumber but due to the size of the property and combination of heating requirements he felt a "low...

Many thanks HB for you quick response. The system is fairly new and has always given us this problem. Yes, def not getting the water around and another pump may help but his main thought was is it a long way from one end of the house to the other.

Folks, need some advice. I have a large, long "bungalow" with a Vaillant ecotech plus 630 at one end driving a closed/megaflow type system. It's a long way to the other end. We have mixed heating types: Traditional radiators, underfloor for the extension and polypipe overlay for the sitting...

catlad, Sounds like a good idea.

Lots of people store their freezers in un-insulated garages but they're not supposed to work very well below 10 degrees.

Hi All, I have a 1.8M x 1.8M shed next to my house made from single skin brick. I'm moving the gas boiler in to it and want to put a freezer in it as well. Freezers don't like the cold so I'd like to insulate the interior walls with celotex. My question is, do I need to batten-out and...

Thanks for the top advice guys.

Thinks we must be getting off-topic a tad but, as always, great feedback and timely advice plus a good bit of banter. ---- Okay, hands up, I'm not an eco-hippy. I work in London which is a 50 mile door-to-door trip taking 4 hours out of my life every day: I drive 12 miles to the...

Your "concern" is noted. It'll be in an ali conduit with clearish strip so it'll stay up there :)

Yep, using sticky tape stuff.
