I definitely need to get a visit and quote from an Intergas engineer so I must get on and sort that. However had a visit from a very nice and knowledgable engineer this evening. Basically ran through a number of different system replacement options (combi etc.) from Atag, Veissmann etc but...

Is there any downside to this? The store was replaced by BG under their servicecare contract about 5 years ago as the original one failed after 17/18 years so I was hoping that this one would have 10+ years life left in it. With this store the boiler heats the Store and a separate pump will...

Flowmax state the store should be maintained between 70 & 80 with a typical boiler installation set to 75. The Intergas states 90c max water temp. I've not looked at all the options out there just what I've seen recomended so there could be more. The greenstar appears to be 82c not sure about...

Sorry don't know the measured flow temp. The store is maintained at 75c and the advice is to always run with the boiler set to max. Think it's pretty simple and just calls for (max) heat when the store temp drops to a certain point. In terms of the pump overrun when the Store controls it then...

I'm struggling to see why they want the flowmax to control the pump over (timed) run rather than the boiler as surely it's just going to run for a few minutes in either case? Am I missing something here? Anyway, had our local Vaillant approved installer around to give us a quote this evening...

Thanks for the info. Would the fact the cabling was put in around 25 years ago mean it's likely to be 3 core rather than 4 or 5? Also we have Hive fitted would that signify anything in particular about the wiring? Guess I need to take a look or wait for someone who knows what they're doing to...

I need to replace our 20+ year old Myson Orion 50B with something a little new more efficient. I've been trawling through the forum and the web for current thoughts on what the best heat only boilers are at the moment and come up with about 8 different manufacturers, most I've heard of and a...
