I moved in last April and now the roof of my lean-to conservatory is starting to sink in the middle. I think it must be due to the recent high winds as the conservatory is facing south and we have had a nearby fence down. I don't know what make the conservatory is and have a feeling that it was...

My heating system has a Flamco Flexvent automatic air vent in the primary circuit to the HW cylinder, immediately after the mid-pos valve. The valve has started to leak from just below the red button on the top - large damp patch on the airing cupboard floor. I suspect that dirt has got in...

Thanks for the info. I was thinking of doing all three stats, but thanks for the suggestion. I am, however, more concerned about the problems which may arise when I open the case. Reading other posts on this Forum makes me think that the Apollo Fanfare is a dangerous beastie and I wouldn't...

How easy is it to replace the thermostats on an Apollo Fanfare boiler?

Thanks for the information That's interesting. I wouldn't have thought of that. I can understand the reason for having the pump running on after the boiler cuts out, but it seems an inefficient way of cooling the boiler down. In a boiler without overrun the boiler cools naturally as...

Can any one tell me what the operating temperatures are for the HI and LO settings on my Apollo Fanfare Boiler? I don't have the user instructions and the Installation Instructions on Partsarena don't have any info. Also, How long should the pump run for after the boiler cuts out and what...

I have just installed a Honeywell CM67 NG Thermostat and need some advice on how to tune it. The Installation and User instructions are no help at all. It seems to be doing its job - the house is warm when we get up and the temperature is staying fairly constant. My main concern is the way...

Thanks for the info. Which is more important when wiring pumps, motorized valves etc, the resistive current or the inductive? Most manufacturers suggest that the whole system should be protected by a 3 amp fuse, but the Honeywell Programmer I recently purchased recommends a 10 amp fuse, which...

Can anyone explain what it means when when a time switch is rated 2 (1) A 240V AC ?? I can understand the 240V AC bit. It's the 2 (1) A that puzzles me. I know that A is amps but is it rated for 2 amps or 1 amp or what?

Thanks for the suggestion, but can you give me an idea of how much they cost (boiler only ex VAT) as I can't find anyone on the internet who stocks them. I emailed Broag-Remeha and asked them for names of approved installers . They couldn't give me any! What's the point of organizing...

I asked this earlier but it seems to have got forgotten! Can any shed provide an answer?

I'm not worried about the price - the limiting factor is the size of the cupboard!! Thanks for the info about modulating valves and life of ali exchangers.

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess you mean Boulter Buderus! Unfortunately it is too wide for the space I have available on the wall.

Just spent an afternoon going through the SEDBUK database and manufacturers websites and managed to reduce the list to 7 firms. Baxi have four boilers listed with identical specs as far as I can see. They are: Solo 15 HE; 50 HE Plus; Potterton Promax 15/2 HE Plus and Platinum 15HE (but some...

Done that and just get more confused as there are so many choices!

My 20 year old boiler will need replacing soon so I am trying to find out as much as I can about what is on the market now. The present boiler is only 50,000 BTU (14kW) and it provides plenty of heat and hot water (indirect cylinder) so I can't see any reason to install a larger one. But...

The other day I was up in the loft (getting Xmas decs down - already!!) so I decided to take a look at the tanks. Two, as expected; large cold water and small F/E for the central heating. The large tank has a vent pipe coming up from the top of the HW cylinder - as expected. BUT there was no...

Thanks for confirming what I thought. Any idea how the current installation will affect the system? Will I get a lot of air being sucked in or will it do absolutely nothing? Does it need putting right?
