    radiators getting warm when only hot water required

    Ben,you are full of it! Why wouldn't it work? It's either the zone valves or the location of the hw return connection. And,as Pete clearly states that the valves are okay,and by my theory of deduction,leaves only one suspect. When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however...

    radiators getting warm when only hot water required

    Tell the installer to make the hot water return connection as close to the boiler as possible.

    Intermittent hot water from Modena 80 combi!

    Voltswagon Beetle front head lamp failure.

    The bulb only has one filament and it works on full beam so i don't think it is the bulbs. I was thinking it could be a relay or some type of resistor of sorts.i will check the fuses and try and locate the relay. Thanks for the replies.

    Allowances for Rad Sizing for a Room With ..

    I'm still not with you here Ben. A gas rate test measures the amount of gas being burned by the appliance.The test uses a measurement of time to burn a volume of gas to work out the heat input. Now,a boiler with a 20kw output and only 40% efficient will have a much larger heat input(roughly...

    Allowances for Rad Sizing for a Room With ..

    I bow to your superior knowledge oh master. Please,just one thing,enlighten me. I do not understand how a boiler with an efficiency of only 40% can match a similarly rated appliance with an efficiency of 90%? If 60% of the heat is lost on this band 'K'(it must be 'K' mustn't...

    That's a joke,right? I do know how a condesing boiler works and how it should be commissioned to achieve good efficiency,so please do not quote your pedantic rubbish in an attempt to flatter yourself.

    New Radiator sometimes hot sometimes cold

    The pipework to the radiator could be under sized or partially constricted somewhere. If it's a micro bore system then it shouldn't be fed from another radiator.

    I agree totally. The heatex's and pipework in the boiler need chemically cleansed.

    ferroli modena 80e fan speed

    At what point is the demand for heat removed when the boiler does not fire in the first place? I always thought that the ignition sequences starts when power is sent to the aps to prove it is in open position. I have worked on many Modena's and honest,i'am not just guessing. Not all boilers...

    ferroli modena 80e fan speed

    Eh?A blocked or broken venturi,maybe a fault on the air pressure switch,a bit of rain water in the air tubes.Does the thermistors and the limit stat not also control the when the fan runs? If the fan is running and the boiler fails to get to the ignition stage then what on the board tells the...

    ferroli modena 80e fan speed

    Fan speed is constant. Replacing the venturi on this boiler is pointless. If the fan continues to run during shut down and the ap switch is open your RGI needs to replace the fan.

    Boiler CH keeps cutting in

    The boiler has a heat bank for hot water.Could it not be the boiler is firing periodically to maintain the temperature in the heat bank. Do the radiators heat up when the boiler is misbehaving?

    Baxi Solo 2 40 PF Luke Warm Water

    If the spark continues during shut down then it must be the pilot solenoid on the gas valve.

    Baxi Solo 2 40 PF Luke Warm Water

    I had Solo 2 a few months back with the same symptoms which was a faulty air pressure switch. The switch was making on initial fire up,then run for 5 minutes then would drop off.If the fan continues to run during the on/off cycle then this could be the same problem?But then again,it could be...
