So from you last post you are saying that you would fit a more modern condensing boiler with a temperature reset unit which from earlier posts I understand the 260e to be. The plan always has been to replace the boiler within the next few years once we can afford to do so. The recent mods...

I am fully aware it doesn't have a return sensor, but we have got a thermostat on the flow and return pipes so we can see what is going on. Given the size/age of the building and number of radiators, the return takes a good few hours to get above 56C. This is the same with or without the 206e...

I agree these controllers are not as effective with a non condensing boiler and we have set the dip switch as such, but with the money we are now saving, we should be able to afford a condensing model in the future. To defend the controller, the boiler cycles a lot less now and in summer it...

Thanks for the offer, but we have now fitted one of these devices. http://www.radiantcontrol.co.uk/products/water-temperature-controls/boiler-controls/boiler-controller-260e Along with this controller, we have now binned the timer units in favour of 30/60/120 min boost buttons for all the...

I know the BEM unit is not the best thing out there, but better controls/new commercial boiler = a lot of money which isn't viable at the moment for our charity. As for the corrosion point, yes it will cause issues, but only if you set the response curve too low. It clearly states this in the...

Anybody

Hi, We have recently made some upgrades to our heating system and in the process changed our knackered BEM 4000 to a BEM 5000 unit which was purchased off ebay. The BEM 5000 worked for a while, but we are now seeing some issues with the weather compensator stopping the boiler from firing...

I've just been discussing this with another trustee, and had a bit of an idea. Remove the current boiler and replace it with 3 HE domestic combi boilers with WC. 1 for each of the existing heating zones. For the hot water, connect all three together to supply the hot water on demand...

Sorry doitall, I have read your response, but not replied to it. The building is not supplied by mains water. Our main supply is from a bore hole which gives approx 45 psi, which I uncertain if this would be enough to run 8 showers at the same time. Our second backup supply is low...

Just giving what has been said a little more thought, there would appear to be two areas of possible improvement in our setup. Better control over the demand for heat - ie fitting room stats to turn the boiler off when the building is up to temperature. Better control over the way the...

Thanks for the replies guys. Tony, I hadn't seen your response as I was busy typing myself. I understand what you are saying about the room stats and can see your theroy behind it. However, when we moved away from coal to LPG and installed the boiler almost 20 years ago, we originally had...

Given the nature and size of the building, we need a monster boiler just to heat it. (exposed location in the middle of the yorkshire dales and solid stone walls don't help things) As a charity, we don't have loads of money to throw at installing a new boiler. I have spoken to ideal and they...

I work for a charity and we are currently looking to improve the efficiency of our Ideal Concord CX240 boiler to redice our LPG bills down from around £10k. At present, there is a Danfoss BEM 4000 unit installed, but over the years, the stats have become damaged and not replaced. As such...
