I moved into my house in 2017. It had an Aqualisa Lumi 10.5kW electric shower fitted. After 3 years, it packed in. I bought a replacement engine for it and replaced it myself. I came back from a week away yesterday and went to have a shower and out of the blue, the shower doesn’t work. Same...

Thanks

Can you elaborate? Not knowing anything about roofs, I want to at least sound like I know what I'm talking about!

Yeah, will this be covered by NHBC?

Can't say I've noticed this before but has this tile that is sticking out in the valley slipped or was it just not cut properly? It's a 3 year old Barratt house.

Just for closure incase I or anyone else stumble upon this thread in the future. No the colder weathers coming in, the heating has been on a few times and (touch wood) seems to be working as expected.

You also have to be careful if testing with things like laptops. Some of them have issues re-connecting to wireless networks properly if they've been sleeping or hibernating.

Yeah, thats what my thought process was leading me to. It's just a little slow to heat them up, but I'm thinking that may be because of the higher ambient temperatures at this time of year.

Could be interference from other wireless networks in your area? Try downloading something like inSSIDer. That will show you the channels that all the wireless networks in your area are using. I'm not sure how much configuration you get with a Sky router but it should hopefully allow you to...

Not managed to get the electrician out yet. In the meantime, I tried taking the Nest out of the equation by turning the heating off on the Nest and then removing it from it's base. I then put the zone valve into manual and the boiler reacted the same way as it does if I call for heat via the...

My Ideal boiler wiring all runs to a junction box so I don't go near the boiler itself. I also don't have a water tank which also simplifies things.

@shambolic Would an outside temp sensor in an existing central heating setup be an issue for an installation of Nest?

All of the wires involved are contained within a junction box below the boiler. He shouldn't have to open the boiler to change anything. I certainly didn't.

Lesson learnt on that front. Too late for me sadly. I've got an electrician that specialises in Nest installs coming out in the next couple of days. If he confirms the wiring is okay, then I guess it's a battle with the plumbers to convince them it's a plumbing issue.

The boilers not been touched, just the wiring in the junction box. I'm tempted to put it all back and see if it works. But then they'll claim putting the Nest in in the first place "broke it"!
