    Radiator sizes, central heating advice

    Hi and thanks in advance for any advice. Have recently moved into high ceilinged, draughty, single glazed Victorian house (sash windows - not draughtproofed!) with 18" thick solid walls. There is no heating in the two attic rooms but when I got someone out with a view to adding radiators onto...

    Radiators on when they shouldn't be

    When you say it's not a difficult job - is it something I could have a go at without causing further damage!?

    Radiators on when they shouldn't be

    Hi, We've got a Worcester Hi-Flow 400 boiler that had a major renovation between Nov and January this year. Basically Worcester came out and replaced the expansion vessel, heat exchanger, pump... before realising there was a hole in the tank (eventually replaced). Eight call-outs in all and...

    Boiler packed up

    Yes, topped it up as soon as it went off three days ago. Had someone out today who got it working briefly then it went off again - he said it "exploded" a couple of times - water and steam coming out - he's coming back Wednesday for another look. Thinks it might be a blockage of some sort...

    Boiler packed up

    Boiler packed up

    Boiler packed up

    Two lights are on - the "standby" is orange, "demand" is green. The date is 09 1996. It also says 400 OF + BF. Can't tell if there's power to the gas valve. When the green "demand" light is on it seems to make a slightly different noise - as if it wants to fire up but can't. Any advice...

    Boiler packed up

    Our Worcester high flow has suddenly stopped working - no central heating, no hot water. The pilot\\\'s lit but when you demand hot water or heating it doesn\\\'t fire up. Any ideas?
