    'Leaking' CH system

    Hi paul. You say it runs fine at 1 - 1.5 bar. Have you noticed if the pressure raises when the system is running. i.e cold at 1 bar, then heats up and the pressure raises. If this is the case, and as your plumber has already found the pressure relief valve leaking ( dirt on the seating after...

    working for 'big' companys compared to 'small'

    BG would be a good company if we worked as a team, like back in the days of depots and bonus!! The job would be a lot easier if we were allowed to concentrate on doing a days work and not get bogged down with sales, advice and other things that customers don't want to hear, especially when...

    No hot water, missus beginning to smell

    Hi Macsen, if you say that the central heating side works fine, and that the flow to the cylinder is hot but the cylinder is still cold, check the return from the cylinder back to the boiler.

    Worcester 240 combi RSF

    hi bezer. Have you checked the air pressure switch for correct operation. If you are only sometimes getting voltage to the fan, it could be that the switch isn't proving that the fan has stopped when the demand is off. If if fails in the positive side ( Normally Open marked NO ) then the...
