I have to agree. I don't want to spend £10k to find that in 5 years they are half the price and double the efficiency.

I was quoted £10k to get one installed. Apparently "it costs nothing to run". It can't possibly cost nothing to run?! I gather 1 unit of electric can equal 4 units of heat if you like. I'd like to know how much my bills would change before going for one of those.

Right. I need one to replace the shonky 1920's one we have right now. A plumber the other day was trying to sell us an air pump central heating system. I'm sceptical about them. Apparently they don't get the water as hot as old fashioned ones and out house struggles to get up to temperature as...

Hi Guys & Girls, Right now we have an oil boiler for our central heating and an old electric water heater for hot water which is costing us the earth to heat in electricity. The boiler is about 15 years old... Does an oil burner exist that can heat water on demand like the gas combi ones?

Yeah its on a partition wall 1.5m above ground level away from rads & door. Maybe its just me not feeling the cold after a few beers. :S Thanks again.

Unit was a breeze to fit apart from getting the three negative wires into one terminal . :D Its working great turning the heat on and off but..... this morning the unit said the room temp was 17 degrees centigrade. It was scorching!! Do you think it is faulty or should I move it nearer a...

Ok, you're all thanked up. :)

Hello, I'm disappointed to wake up today with one radiator!! One measly radiator and its not even that hot. We have a WSP ESE 125 three speed pump which is on full. It definitely works... and a Boulter Camray 3 which is quite a big oil boiler.

That actually makes sense. Godamnit... I don't think I will ever get this system balanced.... its blooming difficult. A plumber came over and showed me how to do it but said I should do it myself as it will be expensive to have a plumber there for a day to balance it up.

I've moved into a new house with 21 radiators. I have literally spent days trying to balance up the radiators... I have used Fernox F5 to clean it all out... I've flushed it twice. I think I'm getting somewhere balancing the rads turning the lock valves millimeters at a time but then next...

Gotcha. Can't thank you enough.

Excellent thank you Stem. So to achieve that I will need to add an extra brown wire from the live to terminal 1 to extend it out if you like? I really hope this helps others too. :)

Hello, I was wondering if one of you lovely people can be so kind as to help a neewb like me. I have been learning lots and I have almost got the rads balanced in my new house after cleaning with Fernox. Now to change the programmer.... Currently I have a Drayton Tempus 7 which is wired...

Great I'll try that.

Ok, I have turned every radiator on full throttle. The heating has been on for four hours. Going to make a note of the cold rads and experiment. Thanks for your advice.

Wonderful.. I'll see if I can find it.

Hi, I moved into a new house recently and we have found that about 40% of the radiators don't work. Can anyone help an idiot like me? Some of the radiators have really hot pipes to them but they feel cold. I have bled them and clear water comes straight out. Whats wierd is that the valve is...

That did it!! :D Thanks!!

I thiiiink its in the roof space above and it seems empty! Better find a plumber.... or maybe the stopcock is corroded closed.

Gawd... where would I find the header tank? :S Maybe I need to call the pros in.
