I've spend the last 2 weeks trying to get my head around my current central heating system and it's issues... anything more just blows my mind right now.
Being honest you are right. Efficiently, lowering running costs, better for planet etc etc is better in the long run. There's no way we can...
Yeah I think in the long term we will, I hate it that cost is a factor, but as long as the downstairs functions correctly we have more vital things we need to spend our money on right now.
The plumber said the boiler was fine for number of rads and size.
I don't overly want the expense of an entirely new heating system/setup. I assume an entire replumb would be pretty dear.
Do you not feel converting it to a dual setup upstairs would work?
I've read that with a single pipe...
If the quote is suitable this is my preference. I'm a bit iffy about 2 pumps. Plus this is our forever home. We will have to do it at some point.
He only suggested converting the upstairs (downstairs rads all work perfectly) (boiler downstairs in the garage). This seems OK right? Not going to...
Hello, bit if a follow up (if anyone is interested)
I had a plumber around today to take a look.
Sadly the entire thing looks to be on a one pipe system. Bar a new area of piping placed in one bedroom and 2 towel rails (likly when they redid the bathrooms this was done) which is using a dual...
Hi Meldrew,
I have now set it to 0.4 as suggested. A little more warmth than usual actually (unless im imagining it), but still not even close to working as it should.
Not as much in the filter as I expected/ thought when I placed the x800. Now i check it regularly there's just a couple of...
I will try change it to 0.4 then and see if any improvment - worth a go
No idea I'm afraid
Yes a grundfos ump2 15-70(?)
I'll try dig them out and look
Make sense to try, at least rules out things before the plumbers take a look tomorrow
Can't see a brand, I will try searching though.
What is the "average" setting for most systems?
The pipe work below is warm on touching (and heating not even on)
Hi Harry, thanks for the reply.
Would there still be pressurised flow from the valves if there was a blockage? When the radiators came off the flow seemed good when I opened them (to look for blockage/low flowrate)
Hi Terry,
Not really, takes the chill off, but not hot to touch. (If that makes sense).
Made me think blocked pipework. But when I took the rads off, there was flow at a very good pressure from both trv and lockshield when opened
