    woodburning stove problem

    Also a few more questions I need to ask. Do all of your radiators get at least warm when the stove is on? How hot are the nearer radiators? Do they have thermostatic valves fitted? Sam

    woodburning stove problem

    Hi pioner, What speed is the pump set on? Assuming the heating pipes are connected to the boiler correctly, does the hot water get very hot? Have you any way of measuring the temperature of the hot water or pipes? It is possible to add a motorised valve to the hot water cylinder to...

    woodburning stove problem

    Thought I may jump in on this one. Can you just clarify: Does the water boil in the stove when trying to heat the radiators or only at the time you installer was present? (first post) Does the wood burner heat the cylinder without the immersion on to a good temp? Heat leak radiator has...

    Combi - Repair or Replace

    Where abouts are you? A straight combi for combi can be had for less than that around here, that sort of money could see you a nice vaillant 831 and new controls if the gas is adequate and existing flue terminal complies Sam

    Boiler Fault FInding and Repair query (from an old un)!

    Varies week by week depending on whats being taken out. Was it combi's in particular you were after? Would have to see whats in the pile at the time. Maybe worth having a word with the lad's down your local tip. Ask them to put aside any boiler that come in and throw them a tenner when they...

    Boiler keeps stopping & starting every 30 seconds or so

    I'd be checking the pump before anything else.

    Fireproofing a boiler 'cupboard'

    As far as I was aware, fire proofing is not a requirement unless the building exceed's 2 storeys. Is this the case? Boiler will require high and low vent's for cooling purposes but depending on which boiler you have fitted, will depend on vent sizes and wether or not they go direct to cutside...

    LPG Boiler

    At a complete guess, possibly due to the gas valve used, outside of its adjustable range? 40kw on LPG sounds expensive to me anyway :lol:

    Re-pressurising CH sys on duotec with permanent loop

    There are at least 2 varieties of built in filling loop on this boiler from memory. Are there 2 black round taps with a very short piece of pipe inbetween? If so turn one on fully, then slowly use the other one to control the water entering the heating system. Once the pressure is between...

    New Gas Meter

    With all due respect, you should be allowing enough room for the meter to be easily removed and replaced. It will need to be removed when working on the gas pipework/appliances in your house. Plan your kitchen around the meter so that this is possible and you have no problem later on down the...

    Boiler Suitable?

    The boiler has an unvented cylinder intergrated. Re-positioning it is possible, but the flue postion and routing, along with D2 pipework for the unvented cylinder need to be considered carefully. I have no idea on the reliability or performance of these appliances so couldn't recommend a...

    Feed and (no?) expansion tank
