    The logic of central heating & the timing of CH and DHW

    Chaps Those of you that know will no doubt be able to answer this but it has me intrigued. When using a boiler to heat the hot water in the morning, and the heating is on, is there a logical way that you should programme the hot water and heating to make best use of the energy released by...

    Garage door problem - is this wet rot, and how do I resolve

    Thanks John The hole is about the size of a 20p coin. The inside is, according to Cardale website, external grade play, with solid cedar face mouldings. This is a link to the exact door (and the points where the rot is coming in is the join(s), since there is more than one place this...

    Heating only comes on with hot water - why?

    Chaps At the risk of sounding like an exam question, two days ago our system worked fine with the heating and hot water coming on in the morning and evening. Then, when we boosted the heating during the day, the boiler did not fire up. Checked the thermostat and increased that to ensure the...
