    Honeywell CM927 - Optimised Start

    I have one of these T-stats aswell (actually its the CM921...the same except 1 day not 7) Anyway if i remember correctly it states in the instructions that the optimum start is only for the first setting of the day. I have not enabled the OS though so cannot comment whether or not it "learns"...

    Ideal Classic - do I keep it?

    It will fit(i know by looking at it even!!)...its more than likely a newer version than whats currently in your boiler so will have a different revision number. So youll also benefit from revised electronics. Mine was a 25B and i think i replaced with a 25E aswell...the number on my original...

    Gas usage

    Hi doitall...yes your spot on 100KWHR...which is what i wrote earlier Tony. Anyway, You say get the boiler stat down to less than half way, will this encourage my boiler to cycle more even when there is demand for heat?...which is why i have it set high....I assumed the less cycling the...

    Gas usage

    Ill turn down the output on the boiler and i have all my figures written down and ill see how it performs over the next 24 hours! Based on my calcs...if i am using 100KW per day and my boiler is running at 17.8KW then my boiler is firing for 5.6hours a day..i only demand heat for 6.5 hours so...

    Gas usage

    Actually just did same test for 3 minutes with a proper stopwatch.(last test was using a less than reliable method!!) It used on average .027333 units per minute...which converts to 17.9KWhr. So i can only assume thats fine based on the parameters i gave above. I have my boiler set quite...

    Gas usage

    No..in fact i recently closed the valve to the hot water cylinder! Dont shoot me down now here..but could the fact that the casing/housing is off the boiler be increasing usage? Boiler is in garage and its not draughty out there..but it aint heated either out there!!(i took the casing off to...

    Slate roof woes: full re-roof or just replace a few tiles?

    Is your loft space well ventilated...this type of setup it needs to be to get the timbers dry...it may be possible that a recent insulation job in your attic has reduced ventilation @ the eaves?..hence condensation? Also...your wet spot is on the wall just below ceiling level, are you sure...

    Garage base - insulation, depth ,suggestions..

    youll need SWA and you should zig zag it a little to allow it to stretch if required due to ground heave...warning tape aswell as someone else said. No prob with laying them all in the same trench marty.

    Boiler and a Stove question

    oilman, Im glad you said that and not me...the workmanship is usually good but unfortunately the planning is often non existant. After recently putting a lot of work into my own heating system i have realised that more often than not heating systems in Ireland are poorly designed even on new...
