I got a quote from NPower to replace the boiler (Worceser 30CDI open vent)+ replace the pump+ install the fully control pack for £3900. No TRVs will be fitted. No pipe will be changed. Compare with your deal, it is quite expensive! Since I could not find a good WAI, I may have to take...

Thanks. So the WAI person made at least 2 mistakes. 1, He strongly suggested to use system not regular which I asked for, by saying only system one can do the fully pump and control. 2, He asked me to change the main water supply pipe by saying the new boiler needs clean water. I think...

I am in the north of the river, far north of London.

Thank you for kind reply. Regarding the 3, the WAI person refer to is the main water supply pipe between the external stopcock and internal stopcock. It is a mixture of lead + steel pipe. He said the new boiler needs clean water. I cannot understand why the main supply pipe get anything to...

Thank you very much. 1, As far as I understand, it is the control need to be updated (add 3 port zone valve for fully pumped, add sensor to the hot water cylinder, I have the programmer). I think any boiler design will be ok for upgrade to fully pump, no matter it is regular or system. Am...

I agree with you. I am looking for a conventional boiler, German made. When I got the quote from Profile to replace the old one, it was £3500 boiler only ( not including the installation, other necessary parts, etc.). The Worcester 30 cdi regular is about £850 which will do the same job...

Hi guys, I have a WAI guy visited my house and raise some issues. 1, He said I should use the greenstar 30 cdi SYSTEM. I think I should use the greestar 30 cdi REGULAR because I have the F&E cistern. According to the worcester web, my house is falling into the REGULAR category. Who is...

Thank you for giving me so much details. Is there an advantage to change it into "semi-pressurized" system? The old system in my house was not perfect. There was no temperature/time control of the hot water. Did your installer use the Powerflush? I have flushed the central heating several...

Thank you. I need the heat only boiler because I have an old system with two open vent cisterns( cold water tank + central heating vent cistern) and a hot water cylinder. I did the search at the worcester web according to you guy's suggestions and found one installer who is going to visit the...

Thank you very very much.

Thank you guys. Are there special pro-plumber shops for those couplers? I looked those diy shops, like B&Q, wickes, toostation, etc. and could not find any couplers which connect the inches to metrics.

Hi, guys, I am not a pro. I have an old water system with copper pipe approximately 20 cm(?). I have to manage to connect them with 22 cm. Are you usually just solder them together with 22 couplers? Or, any better ways?

Thank you. This is really encouraging. I contacted a WAI nearby and will see what is going to be offered.

Thank you. I will get a WAI quote as well. BG is going to give a quote next week. I will do the comparison.

Where do I find the "reputable independent installer"? I have been having trouble with all sort of trade people who have the license as electricians, plumbers, etc. etc.. All I got are rubbish work. So before I have to do anything I have to borrow a book to study the basic myself in case...
