    Grant Vortex Eco 21/26 not heating rads

    Hi, We had run out of oil. Noticed in a few hours and turned boiler off. After oil delivery, water heats up but heating rads do not. Previously had similar problem and a photo cell was not detecting oil. It was a 10 min job by our plumber and cost £60. Could it be the same this time? We have...

    Draining system when its very cold outside???

    Sorry Rob just to check, we need to close blue valve on tank as just closing mains will still drain tank? And if red valve doesnt turn off fully what then?

    Yes red gate valve does go into tank. So does that mean tank wont empty and when taps run its just whats left in pipes? To isolate cold water system, if needed, is it the valves in pic on large tank? Havent done anything yet. Thanks

    Draining system when its very cold outside???

    There are two tanks in loft, found there are valves on both, but would one be for CH? Hot water tank is in airing cupboard. The toilet has a valve too but not the sinks or bath. Thanks.

    Thank you. We cant see any. It is an old house. We changed no problem in our last house. May need plumber out then?

    Draining system when its very cold outside???

    We need to stop hot and cold pipes and replace with isolation valves then install new fittings. Does draining hot and cold mean it affects central heating? Thanks

    Draining system when its very cold outside???

    Yes hot and cold. Have no isolation valves but will be putting them in. Wasnt sure if pipes needed to be a certain temp, its only 4 deg here max today. Also thinking of boiler as well. If tank is drained would need to turn heating off? No heating not a problem whilst doing but would it create...
