The UFH isn't on at the moment and it's hard to read as there are no easily visible indicators on the glass. I think I can just about make out some numbers though, so I will take a look next time it's running. In its current off state, the flow indicators look to be at the top. Is that expected...

Sure, how do I do that? I'm new to UFH

Thanks, I will get it sorted in the summer, I've got other fires to put out at the moment. I know my boiler is constantly running when the UFH is on which is annoying, perhaps this is why?

Thanks, yeah as much as I hate my current install as I'm bleeding heat through the floor, I should probably get somebody in to see if anything can be done to improve anything in its current state. It will be a while before the other half lets me rip up the downstairs floor. Out of curiosity...

It's hard to say, as I don't have much access. The first photos in my other thread are a bit misleading, the pipes must go back up soon after that hole and I believe they sit on some board that sits over the joists, and the floor covering on top. The key thing is, no, or very little insulation.

Thanks, I will take a look. As you said, it looks like the flow temp is probably okay, it's a shame I'm trying to heat under my house due to my poor install :mad:. I'm going to have to rip up my floor at some point and will be replacing the UFH with a load of radiators.

Ignore, messed up the quote.

Hi, another question about my UFH. I've discussed previously on this forum about my poor UFH insulation - https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/spray-foam-underfloor-insulation.602155/#post-5375045 Due to the poor installation/insulation, my UFH doesn't heat the house very well at all. I...

Rookie question. Do I call my provider, i.e. octopus and they will contact the the gas board? Will they attend without proof form a heating engineer?

I had a chat with a friend today who lives on my road, he was in the process of getting his driveway dug up as he has a low-pressure gas supply. Apparently, there are a few on my road that have had the same issue. I've always suspected my boiler, but what are the chances that my issue could be...

Well I definitely have a hole under my house, I know that much. Here's my thread on the topic :cry: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/spray-foam-underfloor-insulation.602155/#post-5375045

I hadn't thought about calling Vaillant directly. Guess they'd have the best chance of fixing it first time. I'll give them a call tomorrow and get a quote. Would this be the best advice over calling out an independent?

I've checked the gas supply valve and it's not been partially switched off (it's in a box outside) and the emergency gas engineer checked the flow, apparently that's okay? Hadn't thought that it could be a supply issue instead of a boiler issue. I'd read that the gas valve could be the issue or...

Thanks for the advice so far. I have few threads on this forum, but basically, I have uncovered a few issues since moving into this house four years ago. I've found that my underfloor heating installation sits on top of uninsulated floor boards which face a suspended floor (outside), so I'm...

Hi all, I'm currently having some issues with my boiler 'Vaillant ecoTec plus 837', where I'm getting random F28/29 and F54 errors. It's pretty old and I'm wondering if it's worth just swapping it out. I'd like the peace of mind of a long warranty etc. The current system consists of 7 radiators...

Thanks, he did mention it could be the gas valve or gas supply. He checked the supply into the house and that was fine. What doesn't make sense (to me at least), is why does it always fail to start in the morning? Hot water from taps and heating in the evening appear to be fine?

Hoping somebody can help. I called out a heating engineer this week as my boiler has started erroring in the mornings when the heating is triggered. This has become more frequent, but so far can be remedied by pressing the reset button. When it errors, I get the F28 and a F54 error. The engineer...

It doesn't work anymore. Think a previous tenant killed it, no doubt by covering the vents and tripping the thermal switch. I had a look but couldn't see anyway of resetting it.

Hello, yes I'm the landlord. Nice to know, thanks. The consumer unit was switched out a few years back, so hopefully it's capable.

Hi all, I need to replace an old Dimplex storage heater, which has a single economy 7 feed. I noticed that the more modern ones have two feeds, so one for E7 and one for daytime tariff. To the best of my knowledge, the rental flat only has the single E7 flex coming out of the wall. Is it...
