    How to Hive mini wire to Vokera Easi Heat 29c Boiler

    Looks ok to me but don't forget the LNE are all linked in the receiver backplate. You will not want to know this but that boiler is a sealed case and should only be opened by a Gas Safe engineer so wiring is really out of bounds to the DIYer due to subsequent safety checks being necessary on...

    How to Hive mini wire to Vokera Easi Heat 29c Boiler

    That looks like an easiheat-i model not an easiheat C which has different connections. You have a flying lead, LNE from the boiler ready wired, take that into the receiver of the Hive and link with the LNE from the power supply. Then take two cores from the switched terminals of the Hive to...

    Heat Pumps and Zones (or not?)

    Well there's loads of advice in these pages and whichever method you end up using will be the right one for you. The worse that could happen is you spent a few hundred pounds on zone valves you might not need or a few hundred on fuel bills that were not necessary. In the long run you'll be...

    Heat Pumps and Zones (or not?)

    Great in theory but so very difficult to make comparisons due to differences in temperature over the periods you are monitoring. If you factor in degree days and ensure occupancy, hot water use and the same for workday/weekend/door opening etc are in line you have a chance but few people do...

    Heat Pumps and Zones (or not?)

    I haven't read all replies and studied them however I'd mention that the reheat time using a heat pump is a longer than with a boiler so the setback temperature in the rooms you want to put less heat into will be by necessity and practicality not much lower than your occupied areas. Your...

    Baxi Main Eco Compact 30kw

    Logically yes but in practice with continual running during extreme low temperatures the drop in internal temperatures is not as great as one would expect as even the most careful calculations come out slightly too high. That does read as a contradiction in terms but in my experience it has...

    Baxi Main Eco Compact 30kw

    Yes you did, I skimmed it, pleased it worked out for you. How did the heat loss the guy you were recommended compare to the clown's?

    Baxi Main Eco Compact 30kw

    Look, either or any boiler will give you the heat you require. I work for Vokera, all I am allowed to do is tell you what the product can do then you can compare it with others. The Vibe Max will have an output of 30kW for hot water and 25kW for heating but the heating output can be range...

    Baxi Main Eco Compact 30kw

    Yes, he had a clown apparently so that means we should go back to a SE Glow-Worm sized by adding up the output of radiators already there because of an unfortunate choice of installer. One bad, all bad.

    Baxi Main Eco Compact 30kw

    I just asked a sales manager and there’s no date on the promotional flyer so you should get 6 years.

    Baxi Main Eco Compact 30kw

    I believe it's only until the end of the month but the Vibe Max is normally 5 years however it's extended to 6 years if a plug-in Wi-Fi key is purchased and registered at the same time, I think about £100. Anything else, just ask.

    Vokera high comfort t100 yes or no

    Yes to the first question. Not quite to the second. The Hi-Comfort looks, and to all intents and purposes is, the same as the BeSMART but the software has changed behind the scenes. There may be issues, I don't know however I encountered one, I can't remember what it was, it was over a year ago...

    Vokera high comfort t100 yes or no

    Yes, that’s what I did. Existing cables plug into the wi-fi box. You need to encode the existing room control to the wi-fi box. Also download the hi-comfort app and encode it and the box to the router in your house. Nicer app but although you can still restart a locked boiler from the room...

    12 Litres Per Minute - OK for a combi?

    Look at what you have at the sink cold tap, is that, or a tiny bit less acceptable to fill a bath? 12l/m you'd want a 30kW boiler if you wanted the incoming cold water temperature raised 35 degrees. If your family like hotter water then a more powerful combi boiler will be able to raise the...

    Is this unique to Alpha?

    A relay board that can be configured that way comes as standard with any Vokera system boiler

    Tankless water heater vs combi

    More kW, when I was in the States 250,000 and 300,00 btu's were the norm

    BG330+ Range rating

    The heat loss of a 1930's three bed semi with solid walls is unlikely to be above 10kW at-3°C, probably a couple less. What type of property or demand do you have to require 18kW let alone 22-24kW?

    Viessmann Weather Compensation

    What do you mean trends? I'm running my system configured WC, room stat sensor disabled so all the control app does is record room temp achieved by using the outside sensor only, no internal reference. I can configure it so the comfort temp. achieved when timer contacts are closed then, when...
