You might struggle to get answers here as you have posted to a U.K. based forum. Don’t even think the make is even sold here.

Is there any corrosion on the battery terminals of the unit?

First time I have heard of someone taking their boiler heating controls with them In a house move. A bit like taking out a new radiator and replacing it with the old one that was kept in the shed. I would have thought it would be classed as part of a house sale unless listed for removal.

What’s the house insulation like? Seems you live in a large uninsulated drafty old house. Have you upgraded any insulation?

Is there not an override button on the boiler to fire it up just for this eventuality? My Ideal Vogue has a manual override.

So who would own a boundary stopcock? If it belongs to the water company are they obligated to free it?

I just spent £3200 for a boiler swap with smart heating controls. Hate to think what the cost of pipework and radiators would have been plus getting the gas to the boiler. If you do go down that path it will be 10% cheaper this year than next year.

As I have a CH output of 50C with a return temperature of 33C my combi boiler should have an efficiency of around 96%. It is a modulating boiler with smart controls with various temperature thresholds set throughout the day and night. As I don’t have a tank we are not heating water...

Low temperature heat that is on for longer is more efficient than high temperature on off heat.

Always thought sand and cement was the normal method.

The boiler will be under warranty if you had it serviced every year so call out Vaillent.

Thought it was compatible with all versions of the Vogue. On some earlier versions of the Logic it needed an external interface, maybe that includes the Vogue then? I had a Vogue installed in August using an approved installer. They fitted the Halo which was plug and play. The Hive will only...

What is the payback period after the expense would be a key consideration.

So It was once working? Why did he adjust the valves?

Maybe it is me but that second sentence makes no sense. The way it reads is that if you set the temperature to 20C it switches off at 17C but then you also say it also won’t switch on until 18.8C is reached.

Just out of interest who was the manufacture? See my thread on the subject. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/2-year-old-trojancast-bath-panel-turned-yellow.554380/

Get an ideal Halo RF or better still an Ideal Halo Wi-Fi, so your heating can also be controlled via your phone. It will also modulate your boiler. I have a set of four matching Wi-Fi thermometers that are all within 0.1C of each other. Compared with the Halo the Halo reads no higher than...

Most people as old as me lived in an age when there was no central heating. A coal fire downstairs and no heat upstairs. We survived.

With a combi we are told that there should be an ideal temperature drop across a radiator of 20C. On my system I can achieve 12C using the lockshields with my boiler set at 50C. This keeps the efficiency of my boiler sitting at around 96%, as the flow from the return is well below the...

Pre heat cost money.
