Re: cowboy.....the consumer is like 'prey' out here. i relied on gassafe register (thought this = 'professional' but i guess not) and a couple of 'good' reviews on those mybuilder websites. Guess that isnt good enough these days. What to do!? now need to look to someone else to fix the issue...

Hi Guys, Ok - wanted to update all. The Original installer came back. He found a blockage in the drop feed pipework which runs from where the conventional boiler was in a cupboard in the bedroom feeding the downstairs rad. = nope. ....the pipe he cut out was heavy and thick with sluge...

Wull67....how can i (novice) check this? Do i have to ask the installer directly? Microbore is 8mm btw, not 10 as i said earlier. Also, DP - pipework is copper not plastic.

Ok - not great news. can see whats happening here with tweaks. the two super hot rads upstairs are hot all other rads in entire house couldnt even be described as warm :( Before changes all of upstairs was hot but this is hopeless. After Arsenal game will try tweaking some more - wish me...

Ok - will try this evening when i get in. Keep eyes out for feedback about 8pm. Can I ask....changing the rating of boiler from 24 to 12 hasnt made any difference from what i can see? will doing this mean im using less gas, forcing it in condense mode therefore making boiler more efficient?

installer coming back on saturday. fingers crossed. Thanks for your advice guys.

Ok - did as suggested. rated boiler and set to d.0 12 output. (was on d.0 24 before i changed btw) closed all lockshields then turned downstairs rads one full turn and upstairs 2/3 all trv's fully opened. result of this bearing in mind system only been on for 30mins... - rads in through...

Thx for this agile/Tony. At long last simple instructions an end user can follow!! I plan on trying this tonight. Will update all With all the debating it was getting quite confusing. :shock: Oh, and it does seem to be microbore pipework....10mm everywhere.

So...ive just got in from a nice sunday meal and beer with the missus to find world war 3 on my original post!! calm down boys.... were all friends here :) To answer some of earlier questions - Yes, downstairs rads are drop fed despite boiler now being placed downstairs. - Is it...

Ok - gonna try and answer all feedback.... D_Hailsham... I changed as i wanted combi - i have excellent mains water pressure, want hot water on demand and to free up space where tanks and previous boiler was fitted. Also benefit of upgrading a G rated boiler fitted in 1989 to A rated condense...

I thought that only applied if the rads closest to the boiler were warmer. The reverse is true. my boiler is downstairs. The rads furthest away are the upstairs ones which work fine :?:

Just fitted a ecotech 831. Had high hopes switching from a conventional system (fuelsaver 65F). Now upstairs is hot and as we wanted but downstairs wont heat up. return pipes cold. flow warm. if i switch off all rads upstairs then downstairs will get luke warm but not really hot...
