    Unused coil in hot water tank

    if its indirect just leave it un connected. ( it is purely an independant coil) if this is an unvented cylinder then you should be working on it as you need to have a current G3 qualification as it is deemed as dangerous as gas

    Worcester Bosch System Boiler - Best pump settings?

    You can manually select pump speeds 1 to 6 but pump,speed A and B are only used in the auto function. Problem is to get pump pressure of A would require a free flowing primary circuit. My guess is that system will have 22mm primaries. If that is the case then the boiler would only ramp up to...

    Worcester Bosch System Boiler - Best pump settings?

    the option of A and B is not selectable. If your system is not getting all the rads hot and it is also new it could be that you still have some airlocks. I would recommend that you change the pump speed to option 6 ( highest available). And then close all the rads. open 1 rad at a time with...

    Question regarding LPG quantity and usage...

    never rely on the auto switch over valve as it will switch over when you still have upto 5% left. even more if the temp is cold. leave the bottles turned off on 2 until you run out and then switch them on.

    Grant Vortex pro 21 Oil Boiler Central Heating Issue

    it could be tha, but you don,t get heat leaking out past it. It draws cold water from heating back down it and cools the exchanger. Easy test is to turn the pump isolater off and see if it stops the hot water from trying to reheat

    Riello burner

    These semi blue flame burners can be setup wrongly even with an analyser. There are a number of potential issues with the setup. You have changed the photocell? Put the old one back in as a guess you have fitted the wrong type. Send us some updated pictures of it all cleaned. Main exchanger...

    this needs to be fully cleaned. both the main exchanger and the secondary exchanger. it then needs the burner to be cleaned and have a new nozzle and be setup correctly using an anaylser. this is not a diy job. This is most likley caused due to boiler not being serviced reguarly . ( max about 14...
