Hi all, got a very old system in the house I rent out. I know I need to renew the system but trying to hold until after Christmas. The problem is with the hot water switch on the above panel. I know that I probably wont be able to get spares for this but if I get any type of ON/OFF switch...

I have no pipework going under the floors, its all on show. I ve looked round all the system and tightened up all the fittings. For example the pressure when off is 1.5 bar, then when turned on it rises to 1.7-1.8 bar . I'm no plumber but I have a gut feeling that its something on the...

Hi I ve had problems with my ferroli combi boiler(11 years old )on and off for the last 6 months. The pressure keep s dropping. I definitely have no leaks. I ve had the PRV replaced and the expansion vessel replaced. And still it is dropping. When I had the expansion vessel done, it was ok...

Why do u say that ?

Hi, I'm going to be insulating my loft and I am wondering do I need to insulate between the rafters if I'm already insulating in between and over the joices to 300mm ? Any feed back would be appreciative

I m going to go with mark group I think. More established company and I think the general feeling is that the white wool is more commonly used. They may be £70 more expensive than AE, but hey, I want a better service

I see what u mean, I have nt really heard or AE insulation, has anyone heard anything about them ?

so, white wool or glass mineral??????

I was thinking the same, it must be all the same if it all carries the 25 year CIGA guarantee

They just told me it was white wool. So they ve both got the same energy rating then ?

Hi I ve had a quote from Mark Group to install white wool cavity wall insulation in my house, and it was £150. Today I had a quote from AE insulation for Glass mineral wool for £79. Is there any difference in the both ? Which is going to be the best for keeping my heating bill down ! Ha...

hi ive recently had exactly the same problem!! it was my expansion vessel, i at to have a new one fitted and now all is fine!

I recently had problems with my expansion vessel and my PRV. I am assuming because I ve at to keep on topping the system up with water all the time this couldn't have been good for the system. Do you think I should add a inhibitor to the system? is there a simple test I could do to see if I...

my girlfriend got in tonight and the pressure was on 0.3 bar and the heating and hot water is now not working. She topped it up to just over 1 bar buy it still isn't coming on. Could the pressure vessel be anything to do with this or do you think it is something else as well?

thanks for your help i ll get them back round to check it. is this a common error ???
