Yes, this was checked and is okay. I've also been doing some background reading and understand that the behaviour I witnessed is the system cycling which is often does through out the day to maintain heat in the downstairs zone throughout the day. I'm now just wondering if its the fact we have a...

Lastnight did check again. The gas smart meter reset at midnight so back to 0Kw. Around 1am the boiler came on and stayed on until 1:45am. The “hourglass” symbol flashing and status “pump overrrun”. I noticed again that the pipe going to the water tank is hot. I’m wondering if it’s releasing hot...

Hi, We have a Valiant system boiler and water tank installed several years ago following a large home renovation to our 5 bedroom house. An Evohome installed with 3 zones including a UFH using a room stat on each floor. Our gas bills usage is showing at the moment nearly 234Kw per day (approx...

Thanks Mike, When you say 'control package' do you mean like thermostats etc? if so what should I be considering? Also any suggested output, makes and model??? Message understood loud and clear....No Combi! Regards, Ajay

Lol....no certainly not doing it myself. Have Nuheat and approved installer doing the UFH. However, for rest of the house the builder recommended two plumbers for us to meet so would be great to have a better background by asking the experts on this forum beforehand. AJ

Hi, I share a fence with my neighbour which is on a raised driveway. The original contractor that installed the fence did not provide sufficient support and therefore over the last year 3 of the fence posts have worked loose. Can anyone recommend solution to fix this problem. I have...

I will go with what you say, and get them to purchase the materials. However, i'll specify what product I want to do the job based on the suggestion you've made. It makes sense as well, if they provide all the materials and labour then I have less hassle hopefully if things go wrong. Thanks once...
