Hi. Thanks. I will get someone in to look at it to balance the system. I have done all I can I think!

Hi. All the radiators in my home work fine apart from the on in the kitchen, (which has always been stone cold) and the one in the back hall which goes lukewarm at best. I have tried bleeding the rads but the cold one in the kitchen let out a bit of air and then started spurting black liquid(!)...

Can I just clarify that, assuming the Black wire is Not a switched live and it is in fact the N, that it is alright to extend the black cable with a blue one so it reaches its destination? Thanks

Hi. I don't think the other red wire was connected at all. In fact now I think about it I am not sure what I did with it. I think I just left it hanging there as I had my L and N and E. The copper of the Green and the Red cables are twisted round at the ends, the black cable is a single...

Thankyou. It needed held in for 20 seconds or so. I was just pushing the button in quick succession. Thankyou very very much for your advice. Simple but effective

Hi. Hi. I have just moved house and there is a Saunier Duval SD 623 in the house. When I moved in on Mnday, the pilot light was on and the water was heating as normal. Last night, I turned it to "hot water and heating" to test that my heating system worked, which it did. I then turned the...
