People. If your oven burner flame stays low,it is almost certainly either the F.S.D.that is faulty or the burner is choked where the F.S.D. probe passes over the burner. If your oven burner flame stays high and burns everything it is almost certainly either the Thermostat which is faulty or...

Before doing anything,get the chimney swept and have a smoke test carried out.You don`t want to get the fireplace altered only to find the chimney is faulty.

If it`s the netaheat I`m thinking of,it could be something as simple as a choked pilot injector.Did the engineer you had round actually do anything,like remove the casing and have a root around? If it`s not that it will be very hard to get any parts for it and your best option would be a new...

This gap is to allow enough air in for the gas to combust properly.

90% of the time this problem is the FSD,not all FSDs shut off the supply,most reduce it to a small bypass rate and when they fail it stays at the low rate. You need a Gas safe Engineer with cooker qualifications.

If you`re on a limited budget,replace like for like.Get a new System boiler (not a combi)make sure to get one that can be tank fed.Get the plumber to put a cleanser then inhibitor in the system.This should be the cheapest option with the least upheaval.

I agree with the above posters also from my experience it sounds like the gas valve is partially choked,which would lead to the fault described and yes cancel your chimney sweep,these boilers have a metallic liner up the chimney so a sweep is completely useless.

The Flame supervision device is probably faulty,you`ll need to get a gas safe registered engineer to examine it and probably order and fit a part.

FSD=flame supervision device

It`s probably a faulty FSD,you`ll need to get a registered engineer in to order and fit a part.

It would be best to get the fire serviced this would allow an engineer to check the integrity of the fireplace,just in case there is more than a simple problem there. Do not just put a filler in as this may prevent the fire from being removed in future. Also all gas appliances should be...

The FSD or thermocouple is most likely to blame,you`ll need to get a GSR engineer to fix it.

It uses the same amount of gas regardless of whether you have the H/W or the C/H and H/W on.But,on most systems it will use less on H/W because it will shut off sooner due to the cylinder stat kicking in.You don`t have a cylinder stat,which is why it`s cycling on and off and using more gas...
