    NEW Air Source Heat Pump - house is cold :(

    Part L Building Regs; replacing a fixed appliance with one with an efficiency less than the one being removed is contrary to regas. Should be HP or a better efficiency appliance than the HP.

    Powerflush, yes or no?

    Is this your 'stay-in' house for say 20 years or a stepping stone? If the former, when you choose an installer whose judgement you trust ask how much. He's there on the job, say it adds £350, over 20 years you've lost nothing and have started from a known good position rather than a maybe. Of...

    Valiant vs Viessman Heat Only Boiler

    Why would there be dirty water in a boiler replacement, the system should be thoroughly cleaned. Get another heating engineer to survey regarding boiler and pump.

    Valiant vs Viessman Heat Only Boiler

    My preference is the opposite, an installation will have one max flow rate for the design so a look along flow rate axis I’ll show available residual head.

    Boiler choice

    Vaillant invented the combi, Vokera, or the guy that started it 40 years ago bought them into the UK before he got his own designed and started the company, all the others came later.

    Boiler choice

    OK, well 1:10 is lower than 1:7 and 1:4 so look at it that way. Check the flow rate at your cold tap in the kitchen with a measuring jug and timer. If you have 11l/m go 25KW boiler, if 13 go 12l/m and 30kW, 15 go 14l/m and 35kW unless you like really hot water at the tap. Viessmann isn't...

    Boiler choice

    Frankly none of the above even if I didn't work for Vokera and my life doesn't depend upon it but my wife does (we have one). Vokera Unica Max 30 or 35C depending on your cold main. Large stainless bore hex, OpenTherm with or without weather compensation. Plastic is not bad, there re many...

    Thermostat replacement

    Saying you have difficulty using smart devices and apps on a forum which is accessed with a smart device and an app is, well, a little odd. Better perhaps that the original poster heed the chap who knows how things work than the correspondent who declares he or she doesn't using the media they...

    need help to choose a heater

    The Ciao is now the X model which in the UK we know as the Vokera Vibe Max, the 24CSI I think has an aluminium heat exchanger, the new Ciao has the stainless exchanger. The Vibe Max and other variant have been very successful in the UK

    Combi's and DHW Flow rate

    Don't know about Worcester or Baxi, most combi's have a hot water 'power' and a lower heating output. Better combi's can be range rated on the heating output. Range rating means the maximum heating output is limited eg a three bedroom semi built in the 30's with solid walls is very unlikely to...

    Boiler installation cost too high?

    You are a very careful consumer and an ounce of preparation is worth a pound of cure but in the end you'll have to trust somebody.

    Combi's and DHW Flow rate

    To the cynics; if the manufacturers are lying then call them out. With the correct amount of gas and a stated flow rate the combi boiler will raise that flow rate by the temperature claimed, this is confirmed not in nirvana but a lab and then certified independently (there is a tolerance but...
