    Gas fire and gas cooker in same room?

    Although I can see the point of many of your posts, and although I am not a gas expert, I do think it may be beneficial for greengoddess's neighbours if some of the more experienced gas members offered some practical advice for piping in a cooker for greengoddess, even if he is going about it...

    How do I put additive into my central heating system?

    The stuff I was given is in a 2 litre container (nothing like a mastic gun... more like something you buy anti-freeze in). It is NOT inhibitor... it is definitely the right cleaning stuff. Why are you all harping on about Jack the Hat McVitie? Everyone knows the story... the only reason I am...

    How do I put additive into my central heating system?

    We haven't really got other quotes. I like to do things myself so I learn how to do it for next time. Our system does have a drain tap near the back door.

Or would just putting it into a...

    How do I put additive into my central heating system?

    By the way, I have had a good search through previous posts about power flushing etc. Power flushing costs a lot and we have no cash at present. There's also lots of stuff about ripping off radiators and hosing them out etc. I would also like to avoid that if at all possible. Our central...

    How do I put additive into my central heating system?

    So, er...thanks. So do I tip that stuff in top of a radiator or not? Is there a proper place where I add or inject it?

    How do I put additive into my central heating system?

    :?: Hello folks, Baxi Bahama combi boiler (aaarrrggghhh!!!) The flow switches clog up every 6 months and British Gas is now refusing to repair it again unless we get the central heating system flushed out (£600). Obviously I am not going to pay that silly amount but the British Gas...
