    How to replace freezer compartment door handle

    I don't think so. I'm trying to replace just the handle as it's obviously cheaper that replacing the whole door but some years ago I did actually replace the door, which came complete with the handle. Although the website 4ourhouse.co.uk claim to have identified the replacement part I'm not...

    How to replace freezer compartment door handle

    You were on the right track. There's a tiny, recessed, button that has to be pressed in under the bottom hinge then the door can be removed. Now I need to figure out how to separate the door so that I can fit the replcaement handle. The door is a typical construction - two plastic outer...

    Turn off heat with Heatmiser PRT thermostat

    Thanks Muggles. Nice to know I can figure something out even if it's not the answer alI wanted! I had in mind that a frost stat was to prevent burst pipes which would occur at around freezing which us very much lower than the Heatmiser frost trigger of 14°C. I believe there's an option to...

    Turn off heat with Heatmiser PRT thermostat

    I own a rental property with Heatmiser thermostats controlling the underfloor heating. I am seldom.at the flat - I'm there now between tenancies for few days - so am not familiar with the Heatmiser thermostats. I want to turn off the underfloor heating completely for the summer (it was left on...

    Reply from Vent-Axia: "Have you tried adjusting the humidity sensor to make it less sensitive as this may be the reason the unit is boosting at night? Please see attached instructions which show where the humidity adjuster is positioned in the unit, to make the humidity sensor less sensitive...

    Heat recovery system

    John D - yes, I believe it is a constant extraction system. That is how it was described by the builder when I bought the flat 7 years ago. The flat is a rental property and I'm only staying here between lets so have only just become aware of the noise. Muggles - I've looked on the VA website...

    Heat recovery system

    It'll only be turned off overnight so condensation shouldn't be a problem bearing mind the vent ducts are only in the bathrooms and kitchen!

    I have a heat recovery system in my flat. There are ventilation bosses in the kitchen and both bathrooms that are ducted to a single fan located in a cupboard in the hall. I understand that ventilation is important but the b....y fan runs all the time and is quite noisy. It's particularly...

    How to adjust pressure valve

    Mine is on the cold water supply which in turn affects the pressure of the hot supply. I needed to reduce it to try to stop violent hammering in a hot tap when it is opened. I have tried to cure the water hammer by replacing the tap and fitting a shock arrestor but it hasn't worked so the only...

    How to adjust pressure valve

    I've figured it out - it's the screw that adjusts the pressure so no need for G3 guys or you to get stressed!

    How to adjust pressure valve

    Why? Surely this forum is to offer advice and not only to qualified plumbers? All I want to do is reduce the water pressure. Why would that be considered an unacceptable risk if there's an available adjustment on the valve?

    How to adjust pressure valve

    I want to reduce the mains pressure by adjusting the valve, see photo. I've tried putting a spanner on the grey cap held in place with a screw but was unable to shift it. I'm not sure whether I should try to remove the cap or whether I should just use a spanner on the outside of the cap...
