    Thermostat not switching off boiler

    Not yet, it's been a long week. They will get called next week probably, even just to have a conclusion to this thread, since ultimately I'll probably start looking for a digital one to fit myself. For an extra five or ten quid they could have given me a proper one and saved themselves the...

    Thermostat not switching off boiler

    Everything seems to read as expected. I figured out how to remove the two little plastic inserts that control the lockable range, allowing me to set the dial lower than I was able to before, and I've found a point at around 12 degrees on the dial where the thermostat will actually knock off...

    Thermostat not switching off boiler

    I wouldn't have expected to get 230v on that one because it's just the 'call for heat' one; it seems to constantly fluctuate between 0 and 5 volts. I get 238v to the blue one on the left, which makes more sense to me because it comes from the same grey cable that the brown comes out of. Are...

    Thermostat not switching off boiler

    Appears to be wired correctly...? Maybe the 'heat anticipator' is the problem, but I can't currently see how to adjust it, if it even is adjustable. It might be hiding behind the dial.

    As I explained in post #6.

    Thermostat not switching off boiler

    My first guess would be a contractor upselling a more expensive boiler to an unknowing housing association.

    Thermostat not switching off boiler

    I'm not in the know enough to understand what that really means, or how it relates to my problem...?

    Thermostat not switching off boiler

    I'm in a 1 bed flat. The living room and bedroom each have their own thermostat, and no TRVs. Supposedly the thermostat in the living room controls all the radiators, bar the one in the bedroom, which should be controlled by its own aforementioned thermostat. For whatever reason, the other...

    Thermostat not switching off boiler

    The housing association put in a whole new heating system for me two days ago. (Boiler, two new thermostats to replace a single old one, new radiators and pipework) The two thermostats are EPH CM3 models. I heated the room to 20 degrees last night and then decided to turn the thermostat down...

    Mitre saw 'burn' mark

    In theory it should be a brand new blade, since it's the one that came with the saw, which was new and unused before I started this project. I don't recall rushing either. Being my first time with a mitre saw, I was being extra cautious about every aspect of what I was doing. Can sharpness...

    Mitre saw 'burn' mark

    I cut eight timber joist legs for some very basic tables. Each one ended up with the same 'burn' mark with a slight indentation. Don't know why it happens, but obviously it needs to stop. I was cutting with this.

    French Cleat Fixing

    Looks like 18mm ply...? I'm currently looking at something like this to hang my mirror. It would make your gap between the wall and the mirror more like 4mm.

    Best Metal French Cleats...?

    Thanks. Do you have personal experience with them though...?

    Best Metal French Cleats...?

    Came across 'Eagle Clips' whilst watching random YouTube videos about mirrors. Interested in getting something like that to hang my mirrors with. Looking for advice on whether or not they are the best and / or cheapest brand...? Don't fancy the plastic variety much.
