    Plumbing lecturer

    Interesting that much of the conversation is about pensions and not the students, facilities or the job generally. I did three years part time when recovering from illness. Many students didn't want to be there but were pushed by their parents. The good ones tended to be mature with a young...

    Weather compensation what does it do?

    Afraid I have no immediate solutions other than suggest you look for a control that fits into ErP control class 7 ClassVII Weather compensator and room sensor, for use with on/off output heaters: A heater flow temperature control that varies the flow temperature of water leaving the heater...

    Nest E & Baxi 228 OpenTherm issue

    We don't sell the PDHW boiler in the UK so use a Vokera system boiler with EPH controls on OT and that's the way to do it.

    Vokera BeSmart wireless thermostat issue

    Hang fire on that phone call please, service are not in the loop yet, I'm making enquiries.

    Vokera BeSmart wireless thermostat issue

    It would be poor if you were correct but you are not; they work fine without operational servers. Mike Swannick, I don't know that they have, I just guessed.

    Vokera BeSmart wireless thermostat issue

    I believe they're turning the BeSMART server off, they've been too troublesome in China and are now using a new app, HiComfort, free to download locked to Amazon servers. If you get the new gateway box you could throw the old one away and encode your existing BeSMART to the new server. Ring...

    New Vokera Boiler Easi Heat-i 29 fireup for few minutes then showing error code A10

    Definitely an easi-heat-i? That's only a year old-ish. It does sound like condensate or gas so probably better to call the installer first.

    Vokera Excel 25 boiler and Hive Single

    The two cores currently taken into CN5 on the PCB remain unaltered and are now connected to terminals 1 and 3 in the Hive receiver. L and 1 in the Hive receiver should not be linked. Connect LNE of the Hive to the mains supply

    How to Hive mini wire to Vokera Easi Heat 29c Boiler

    Looks ok to me but don't forget the LNE are all linked in the receiver backplate. You will not want to know this but that boiler is a sealed case and should only be opened by a Gas Safe engineer so wiring is really out of bounds to the DIYer due to subsequent safety checks being necessary on...

    How to Hive mini wire to Vokera Easi Heat 29c Boiler

    That looks like an easiheat-i model not an easiheat C which has different connections. You have a flying lead, LNE from the boiler ready wired, take that into the receiver of the Hive and link with the LNE from the power supply. Then take two cores from the switched terminals of the Hive to...

    Heat Pumps and Zones (or not?)

    Well there's loads of advice in these pages and whichever method you end up using will be the right one for you. The worse that could happen is you spent a few hundred pounds on zone valves you might not need or a few hundred on fuel bills that were not necessary. In the long run you'll be...

    Heat Pumps and Zones (or not?)

    Great in theory but so very difficult to make comparisons due to differences in temperature over the periods you are monitoring. If you factor in degree days and ensure occupancy, hot water use and the same for workday/weekend/door opening etc are in line you have a chance but few people do...

    Heat Pumps and Zones (or not?)

    I haven't read all replies and studied them however I'd mention that the reheat time using a heat pump is a longer than with a boiler so the setback temperature in the rooms you want to put less heat into will be by necessity and practicality not much lower than your occupied areas. Your...

    Baxi Main Eco Compact 30kw

    Logically yes but in practice with continual running during extreme low temperatures the drop in internal temperatures is not as great as one would expect as even the most careful calculations come out slightly too high. That does read as a contradiction in terms but in my experience it has...

    Baxi Main Eco Compact 30kw

    Yes you did, I skimmed it, pleased it worked out for you. How did the heat loss the guy you were recommended compare to the clown's?

    Baxi Main Eco Compact 30kw

    Look, either or any boiler will give you the heat you require. I work for Vokera, all I am allowed to do is tell you what the product can do then you can compare it with others. The Vibe Max will have an output of 30kW for hot water and 25kW for heating but the heating output can be range...

    Baxi Main Eco Compact 30kw

    Yes, he had a clown apparently so that means we should go back to a SE Glow-Worm sized by adding up the output of radiators already there because of an unfortunate choice of installer. One bad, all bad.

    Baxi Main Eco Compact 30kw

    I just asked a sales manager and there’s no date on the promotional flyer so you should get 6 years.

    Baxi Main Eco Compact 30kw

    I believe it's only until the end of the month but the Vibe Max is normally 5 years however it's extended to 6 years if a plug-in Wi-Fi key is purchased and registered at the same time, I think about £100. Anything else, just ask.

    Vokera high comfort t100 yes or no

    Yes to the first question. Not quite to the second. The Hi-Comfort looks, and to all intents and purposes is, the same as the BeSMART but the software has changed behind the scenes. There may be issues, I don't know however I encountered one, I can't remember what it was, it was over a year ago...
