Hi, I have had a new Worcester Greenstar 30si boiler fitted to replace my old one. He has installed a condensate pump that sits on the floor. Why do I need this when I did not have one before? Also, it says it has an input power of 60W. Is that like running a 60W lightbulb 24/7...

No timer, just a manual thermostat that is the same as the one I linked with the picture above. I was intending on replacing my current wired thermostat but happy to go wireless if easier?

I am sure I can manage if it is just a case of connecting the wires up. Do you know if I need any more cabling done when I take the old one off?

Hello, I would like to replace my thermostat with a programmable digital one. Is this easy enough to do? I currently have this one:

There is 3 on each floor. Not sure what neighbour is using theie W.M. Do you think it is a problem with the stair drainage or my flat. It is hard to tell how it works as the building is over 100 years old.

Over the last few days I have noticed that when my neighbour uses their washing machine I get a little of their water in my kitchen sink. It makes a gargling noise and fills my sink with some soapy water. It's smells of rotten eggs. I am on the 1st floor of a 4 story flat. Why is this...

Thanks. Is it a big job and would it cost a lot?

Thanks for the replys. So do you think that the kitchen fitters have done it wrong and I am within my rights to get them back to fix it?

Thanks for the help. Any idea on the cost of this? The tank is in the room next to the bathroom if that makes any difference. Also, when I put a shower in............what type of shower would be best?

Yes, just done a test. When swapping the attachement around. THe cold water pressure is really bad. I guess it is coming from the water tank and the hot is coming from the combi boiler prob mains fed. Dunno what I need to do to move forward and get something fixed. I can't live without a...

Anyone or is everyone as confused as me? :?

I have just moved into a 1 bedroom 1st floor flat with only a bath. :( I want to put in a shower early next year. As a short term soloution I put a tap mixing attachement on the taps ( http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/8323703/Trail/searchtext%3ESHOWER.htm ) until I can...
