Nope. Programmer/timers and room stats not calling for heat, but boiler is burning gas (flame icon in display and hot flue gases) and I can hear the bellows in the gas meter sighing regularly but the radiators are cold. Will turn the mains on, verify it is doing what I've just said in the...

Do you mean to set the CH temperature on the boiler to 30C? I don't hold much hope for this. CH on boiler is set to 65C (see earlier post this thread) and this afternoon, the temperature reported by the boiler was just over 70C. Currently, the boiler (with programmer/timers and thermostats...

Despite the new powerhead, the CH is still not working correctly and the engineer has now gone home. The boiler is burning gas (I went outside to confirm that hot exhaust gas is coming out of the vent) and it is telling me that the CH temperature is 68C but all radiators are cold. Possibly he...

Hi Jonathan, I see. Yes, he's here now. Turns out that there is a third zone valve (I thought there were just two) and the microswitch has a fault. Luckily my local Screwfix (8 mins away) has a replacement powerhead and he's just gone to get it to fit this evening. Hopefully, we'll be back...

Why am I getting two posts of the same thing all of a sudden?

Hi Jonathan, Yes to both questions. Pressing the Radiator key (number 7 in your earlier post) we can set the CH temperature - currently set to 65C and pressing the Tap key (number 8 ), we can set the DHW temperature - currently set to 60C. Yes we have a cylinder stat clamped to the side of...

Duplicate post - don't know why!

Hi Jonathan, I don't know for sure but we must have. We can set the DHW temperature differently to the GCH flow temperature. During the long hot summer of 2021 we had the heating off from around March to October and only the hot water coming on twice a day for like 10 mins at a time. When we...

Okay - so some further info to aid diagnosis of the problem ... We have a system boiler with a hot water tank. DHW setting on the boiler is 60C. The hot water has been OFF since at least Saturday evening / first thing Sunday morning. Even then only for, like, 10 mins at a time to 'top up'...

Thanks Ian The wiring hasn't altered in the last 3 years (the WB boiler was installed in May 2020) so I think the emf "problem" is unlikely. The boiler was working fine until I noticed the pump running almost continuously yesterday afternoon and investigated. The zone valve end switch seems...

Thanks for the replies guys. Yes, I think I knew that the Zone Valves actually call for heat but had forgoten! I think I have 2 Zone valves - one to direct flow through the heating coli for the DHW tank and the other to direct heat through the top floor rads. I have a (partially) working...

Hi, A bit of a strange one this. Worcseter Bosch 8000 Life system boiler - installed just under 3 years ago, regularly serviced. I noticed the flue fan (is that correct) being on when there was no call for heat. Checked the boiler and sure enough, the temperature display is showing the temp...

Now that's a good idea - hadn't though of that. Like this (don't know what the correct symbol is for a rodding point). New extension is to partially cover the footprint of the existing garage. Dave

Hi Woody Is this sketch good enough? Regards Dave

Thanks Ronny I thought so. So that means that the area in front of the garage can't have an inspection chamber (manhole) inside - ragardless of the 'use' of the internal space? As it stands, the manhole (inspection chamber?) provides access to the pipe run behind the houses and also down the...

Hi, Happy New Year folks! My daughter is wanting to extend her house at the rear with a single-storey, 'L'-shaped wrap-around to provide a large kitchen/diner & family space/garden room at the back. She is the right-hand house of a semi, with a narrow driveway on the right leading to a brick...

We have an old AEG built-under double oven. It is at least 15 years old, probably nore like 20 plus. We've been in the house for just over 26 years and we put the oven in - but it is so long ago that neither my wife nor I can remember when we bought it. It is an AEG Competence model 5212BU-w...

Thank you chaps. Kind regards XRD

... even if not Part P qualified? If yes, where do I get the certificate blanks from? XRD
