    glowworm micron 40ff boiler

    hi the boiler has overheated, it will reset itself but you need to try and understand why. unlikely to be the boiler imo, possibly blockage in the system pump stopped for some reason.

    Glow worm 30ci hot water problems

    you will still have fault codes in the display, while the hot tap is running check the display if it begins to flash alternatley between F & 14 then again i would suspect early signs of the plate to plate blocking. If the plate to plate is beginning to block you will have noticed the HW...

    Glow worm 30ci hot water problems

    exapnsion sounds fine, a simple way to check is. with all demands off and the boiler cold note the pressure (in your case 0.8) pop the boiler on heating for 15mins half an hour turn the heating off and look at the pressure again, as a very rough guide i would not expect it to have exceeded...

    Glow worm 30ci hot water problems

    Hi, The pressure seems ver very high. Is the copper pipe (normally on the outside wall where the boiler is) dripping water? once the pressure reached 3bar it should release its pressure. When running a hot tap, do you have any fault codes flashing on the front of the boiler? cheers Andy

    I'm after advice on a new Central Heating system

    Oh and I would have the inglenook as a plain open fire, theres nothing better than sitting and watching a roaring open fire in the middle of winter. I do like stoves, but would never re-place my open fire with one.

    I'm after advice on a new Central Heating system

    If your just looking for a gas boiler/solar panel set up look towards Vaillant or Glowworm, they provide all you need in one kit. You can mix and match various components but its far simpler to keep it all the same, it also means the warranty/service backup is far easier. You unfortunatley...

    Technical Helplines

    100% correct. all trade technical helplines should be asking for our gas safe numbers before they give advice. I ask the question as a trade customer, we all have our preferences on which boilers we fit, and this normally depends on the support we get if needed from either the respective tech...
