Definatley get it tested by another independent gas engineer. These emergency gas engineers that you call do not want to take any reponsibility, and will turn off your meter to make it safe. A small gas leak is permissible if there is no smell of gas, and this can be tested by a qualified...

Check in the instruction leaflet for the TRV, each number represents a different temperature, 20 degrees is probably in the middle, then turn it on to that number. Then I would have the room stat on 25 degrees to make sure it stays on, and put heating onto constant. All other rads in the...

It seems like you have answered all of your questions correctly, The boiler installation instructions will give you clearances from the surroundings, and whether there is a need for vents on the enclosure. As you said, thought will have to go into the rest of the installation, because if...

put the shower on the side wall??

So am I right in saying that you have had to pay an RGI for four days and nights straight work? How much has that cost??????? Its RGI's like this that give the rest of us a bad name, could have re-piped the whole house in half the time. And what was he thinking, its not going to explode...

try this, http://www.radcalcs.com/ lots of other ones online as well, don't have to be too precise with the measurements, so long as they are over or near abouts, find an average height for the ceiling, or like you said, treat it as two rooms. Mike.

ok, slightly confused. Are you saying that you have to reset the boiler by the trip switch(electric fuse board) or the little red reset button underneath the boiler (the overheat)? The boiler that you have does not have a pilot light. If its the reset button then you have a problem with...

You need to get an RGI round to run a few tests. There's a few things which could cause the pilot to go out other than the thermocouple, none of which you could fix. Sorry

There is still no way fibres can get into the pipes from the surroundings, if they could get in then water would get out and you would have a leak. Is there any way you could blast the pipes through without the shower unit in place, maybe isolate the pipes to the shower, disconnect the pump...

It would be impossible for fibres from around the pump to get into the pipes, I would recommend not boxing in the pump as this could cause it to overheat. The fibres must be getting in from the storage tank, this would be where I would check first, maybe the tank lagging has got into the...

So the light comes on to show that the system is calling for heat, but the boiler does not go any further in the ignition process than the light coming on? It sounds like you need to get a gas safe engineer round to have a look, as it may be the fan or pcb playing up, you should not be having...

If you are really against trying to solder the pipes, then cut the pipe 6" from where to want the tee, then cut in a push fit tee where you want it, connect to the cut pipe using a slip coupling in compression, if you cant buy one at the store, make one by filing the stop from an ordinary...

The Baxi Main 30HE is a very good boiler, but is a band B and as such cannot be fitted now, there is another version called the Eco, and thats a band A.

You should only fit your boiler on your own property, The access to the loft could be changed by the freeholder at any time, you wouldn't fit your boiler in your neighbours shed? Its the same principle.

try running the shower without the showerhead on the pipe, if it runs hot then its an indication that the flow through the shower is not sufficient to turn the boiler on.

get in front of the boiler with your manometer and multi meter and give baxi a call, sounds like the boiler is not getting rectification on heating, but is fine on HW.

Circulation problem on heating side

Pipe sizing would be very easy for a gas safe engineer to work out, I am sure you could do it as well. In simple terms you need to get gas to the boiler at no more than 1mb drop in pressure from what is at the meter. So what will need to be done is add up all the 22mm pipe and 15mm pipe in...

Are you sure there's water in it? Sounds to me like its running dry, blocked cold feed maybe? try draining a bit of water out and as its running check the header tank is refilling.

People dont generally design flats with the view of making life easy if and when the boiler needs changing. You should not really be thinking of the hassles involved in changing the boiler if and when it needs doing. Most modern boilers should last at least ten years, and even when it breaks...
