    Boiler in trouble - replace with system or heat only

    Your system mate has two pumps built into it. One is to circulate the hot water from gas boiler to heat the thermal store tank and other is to circulate hot water through a circuit through the store to the radiators. So a regular/heat only is used as pump is part of systemate. A system...

    Potterton ProMax Combi - Flush and Clean Sludge (micro-bore system)

    Your heating return is the 22mm pipe at far right side of boiler, (the last one before the 15mm pressure relief pipe which is in 15mm copper) the pic shows it coming from boiler and coming out and running vertically up right side of boiler casing. The one that runs horizontallly that you put...

    My Boiler keeps needing to be topped up

    Could be a number of reasons for this. How big is the house, how many radiators? Expansion vessel in boiler may not be adequately sized for heating output. What type of system was the old boiler on, was it sealed/pressurised already? If so, did you have to top up frequently before? Could...

    can you pick your own plumber to fit your free boiler???

    The money has to come from somewhere, energy companies aren't doing it out the goodness of their hearts. More than likely the public is paying due to price hikes etc

    Baxi Bermuda w/back boiler gas safe ID

    I know they did in the past but I've read on a few different forums in last few years of guys saying they have asked baxi and they say not to now. No doubt just to cover themselves but iirc someone even posted the official reply from baxi showing they didn't approve. As I said I don't see the...

    Baxi Bermuda w/back boiler gas safe ID

    Not meaning to throw a spanner in the works here and please correct me if Ang hard evidence I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure baxi say the same now regarding this. I.e. Can't decommission boiler and only use fire. In my opinion I agree with majority of replies, and safety wise can't see the...

    Anyone working for sse?

    Not sure tbh. Wouldn't say decent or same elsewhere but my way, there's money to be made working for whoever gets the local housing contracts. Can work in some sheiteholes but hourly rates not bad and when on call every 6 weeks or so there's a good bit of overtime that can be made with call...

    Replacement Combi Boiler

    Installed a couple of easiheat. Has no issues with them. Great price. You compared a 25kw boiler and a 29kw, the easiheat also comes in a 25kw model if that's all you need. Your installer should know.

    CH/HW pump running longer than expected

    Yes crack it open slightly. It should help to take residual heat away from boiler Ahoukd be an automatic bypass type but a gate valve is better than nothing

    CH/HW pump running longer than expected

    Is the pump wired direct to boiler rather than the wiring centre? If not it should be. Also, is there an automatic bypass valve on the flow pipe from boiler before the 2 port valves, and pipes back into return pipe to boiler? If not, pump and fan will stay in for ages as boiler can't get rid...

    Thermostat wire with Nest 3rd Gen?

    It's difficult without seeing it, but couple of things to note going by your prev posts. The wire from boiler you said went to stat prev, are you sure? As the boiler has a permanent L N E, should have a pump live connected to it also and also needs a switch live to fire boiler when demand...

    Combi seems to be running with no demand...

    Depends when you want it fixed really. If it is a faulty pump (sounds the case by what you've written previously) a service isn't going to cure it. The pump will need to replaced by a registered gas man.

    Combi seems to be running with no demand...

    No was about 4 years ago when I worked at worcester. The greenstar cdi combis (similar to the fans) have mains fed to them from board all the time to power them, even when there's no demand, but they shouldn't be spinning with no demand or overrun finished etc. It's the vdc separate wiring...

    Combi seems to be running with no demand...

    If it's a cdi model, had faulty pumps on them a few times where pump runs 24/7. Something to do with faulty pump internal pcb, not the main boilers pcb

    Thermostat wire with Nest 3rd Gen?

    And also boiler make/model and pic of wiring inside boiler if can do safety without compromising safety, i.e. Opening wiring area without disturbing any combustion seals etc

    Combi seems to be running with no demand...

    Eco light will be lit green if preheat is off. If it's not lit, push it for a few seconds to change it.

    Why is my central heating coming on? }:-/

    Your boiler has a water preheat function built in. you may have a blocked plate heat exchanger or faulty diverter valve which is causing radiators to heat when the water is preheating due to diverter valve passing heat down heating pipes
