    I have a problem with my Worcester 240 Combi RSF boiler

    i agree. people are happy to pay £100 an hour for a dealership to service there car but complain about much lower fees for a plumber/ gas engineer to travel to there home and charge approx a half to quarter of the cost of a mechanic.

    problems with Viessman boiler

    If the boiler is cycling a lot then sounds like to me that you have a flow problem. They can be quite hard work to vent the primary heat exchanger on a open vent condensing boiler. I had a simular problem with the same boiler as yours i installed abour 12 months ago. turned out the pump was...

    Aavantaplus control systems - a question for Bigburner

    if im not mistaken the 18V is an open vent heat only boiler. The weather compensation option is only avaliable when using a system boiler or combi. If on a system boiler then you have to use a DHW prioity diverter valve instead of y plan or s plan.

    What pump would you recommend

    Can't go wrong with either Wilo or Grundfos. As for size it depends on how many storeys, pipe size / lenghts etc . maybe a 15/60 may do it.

    which boiler for a new build

    viessmann is the hands down winner. Top notch boiler but make sure you fit the weather comp as this can save you even more on your fuel bill once setup correctly. :wink:

    Peoples opinions of Broag boilers ?

    the broag remeha avanta plus is a cracking boiler. yeah they use all the usual components like everyone else. Thing is Broag have been in the condensing boiler game for years unlike most of the competitors that copy. One of the main selling points for me is that you have the option of weather...
