We are having a custom-built annex, made of wood, installed in the back garden.

The building is single storey detached, built in the 1970's, and has electricity only - no gas. It is about 8m square, divided into several rooms. It will be used for sales and as offices. What is the best way of heating the building? It will only be used in the daytime - say from 8am to 9pm.

Does anyone know if there is a list anywhere online of current boilers which support Opentherm and/or Weather Compensation? I haven't managed to find one, but that could be because I'm not asking the correct question! Why is this information not included in the Product Characteristics Database...

Can anyone identify the Aqualisa shower in these two pics? How old is it? What is a suitable replacement?

Moved into our current house nearly two years ago. It's a mid-80 link-detached with a WB CDi 37 Combi boiler. The boiler is in the first floor airing cupboard. It appears to be a microbore system as there are 10mm surface mounted pipes coming down the wall from the first floor. They all convert...

The boiler is about 12 years old and was working correctly until a few days ago when it decided to go on strike - no heating or hot water. The pressure had gone down to zero. I tried to repressurize it but had diffuculty fitting the key - so did my son, who pointed out that there was some water...

Overheard in Supermarket toilet roll aisle - devoid of rolls. Ignorant shopper (very loudly): "Does this corovirus thing give you the sh*ts?" Even more ignorant partner (at other end of the aisle): You know it does."

I have had this problem for many years. In 2007, about a year after I purchased the house, the roof was replaced (insurance claim) following storm damage. The problem only occurs in very heavy rain from the south. The flashing between roof and the house wall has been replaced several times but...

Last June (2019!) we moved to a house, built in the mid 1980's, which has a WB 37CDi combi boiler, installed about 10 years ago. I have estimated, based on the standards set when it was built, that the heat loss is about 10kW. There are about 10kW of radiators. The boiler can only modulate down...

Moved in to my house in June. It has a WB 37CDi combi boiler, which is about 10 years old. This is controlled by a WB DT10/20 RF thermostat (not sure exactly which version), which has the receiver/HW time control installed in the boiler. I would like to change the thermostat to something more...

We moved house about eight weeks ago; the house has a WB37CDi combi boiler which is about 12 years old. Although the previous owners provided a Gas Safe Certificate, I decided to have the boiler serviced as, according to the service history in the Installation Manual, the last service was about...

I have just moved house. There is a WB Greenstar CDi 37kW boiler (about 10 years old) controlled by a DT10RF prog stat. I am trying to set the times/temperatures and have down loaded the manual, which I find confusing. The programmer shows the seven days of the week, which suggests it is a...

Does anyone know if it is possible to range-rate the CH Output of the WB Greenstar 37CDi Combi boiler? I am in the middle of purchasing a house with this boiler and have estimated that the heat loss is no more than 15kW. The boiler produces 30kW max; I would like to reduce this, if possible, to...

My boiler was due for it's annual service a few weeks ago. So I phoned the GSR who installed it a few years ago and has carried out the previous services. All I got was his answerphone, so I left a message saying that the boiler need servicing and would he contact me. Since then: nothing. I...

I tried to thank someone for his post and the thanks and like buttons are missing. I refreshed the page and they are still missing. I have notice this on several occasions; why is it happening?

Has any one had any experience of using a UPS2 in proportional mode? If so what were the results?

Mechanics of the Household makes fascinating reading for those hankering after the good old days.

The HC60NG controlled by my CM927 seems to have given up. When a call for heat occurs the green light on the relay box turns on and immediately turns off. The same thing happens if I press the button on the relay box. I have also tried new batteries in the Prog-stat and it makes no difference...

I visited the local branch of a national stationers the other day. On one shelf I saw this: It's called a Password Keeper. The combination lock is a dummy; there's just an elastic band to keep it closed. Doh!! They also sell other products to do the same job. Makes you wonder what their...
