Hi, I asked a similar question a few months back, https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/baxi-105e-should-i-replace.595521/#post-5290900 I have a Baxi 105e, although mine hasn't given me any issues, with the spiralling costs of energy I was contemplating replacing my boiler with a more fuel...

Something along those lines, although my rads vary from the highest temp at the top of 60 to the lowest temp at the top of 55 over the 7 rads, so the differential would work out approx. the same. PS - its warm there in Cork, here in Lichfield its a balmy 12 degrees and raining!!!!

Hi, I'm going to ask some real dumb questions, so forgive me, we have a Baxi 105e with the CH temperature set to approx. 70 degrees, all the radiators have Honeywell 117 TRV's these are all set to the default position '4', with the exception of the 2 lounge rads which are full open as we have...

Thanks, makes sense

Hi, I recently posted a thread regarding whether it made sense under the current economic climate to replace my aging but working Baxi105e boiler, the consensus here was that these are decent boilers and that its unlikely that I would realize any significant savings to warrant replacing it with...

Thanks, creating the additional work and obviously cost was my first thought

Thanks, excuse my ignorance but the exiting cable that supplies the free stand oven does that get spilt in order to now feed the separate hob and double oven?

Hi, We are in the process of revamping our kitchen, currently we have a free-standing Hotpoint HAE60G which is hardwired into a Protek RCD protected by a 32A MCB, the total load on the current oven is 10.7 kW. We have chosen a Zanussi Double Oven (ZKHNL3X1) and separate Zanussi Induction Hob...

Actually when I was on just on holiday sat on the beach I was thinking this very same thing, now awaiting some quotes.....

Valid points but going forward would a new boiler not be more economical that a 18 year old model, irrespective of the net gain, my car 18 years ago isn't as good as my current car, don't get me wrong I see the point in keeping it but sod's law says it'll go in winter and it'll be a bugger to...

Good Morning All, A loaded question if I may, we currently have a Baxi 105e which was already installed when we moved into the property in 2012, in the main its done its job, we have it serviced each year and apart from the odd minor issue its been ticking over Ok. I believe that our boiler...

Absolutely, but to me that seems excessive, based on previous work I've had done in another (more expensive) part of the country which was almost identical to the work, I'll see once the other quotes come in, but in my opinion its on the high side.

Thanks Eta, I have a couple of recommendations from friends and also getting some quotes from other tradesmen , if any forum members have any recommendations for people in the Sutton Coldfield/Lichfield area then that would be most helpful.

Hi, I've received a quote for the following work that needs doing: Stain Block Kitchen Ceiling and apply two coats white emulsion. Stain Block Inside ex-chimney area and apply two coats white emulsion (approx. 0.4 m2). Paint Stair Bannister (Approx. 144 inches in length) and Handrail-white...

Thanks Ian, the trouble is i cannot tighten the wing nut by hand as it jams into casing of the boiler, the loop is in as far as it will go without exerting undue pressure, i cannot fathom how it was originally connected
