    Central Heating Only Coping With Heating 3 or 4 radiators

    Seems obvious it's circulation: Boiler stat is ok, boiler doesn't kettle and the pipes at the pump are too hot to hold so boiler is neither too hot or not hot enough. If the plumber used the pump valves to change the pump and they operated alright it's not the gate stuck in a semi closed...

    Install Second-hand boiler: thoughts please!

    Advice - Vokera Evolve 36C Combi Boiler

    CBW is correct, the tube should be installed level as the inner flue tube has an incline falling back to the boiler built in. If there's ever a reason to get a ladder up the side of the property try to lift the terminal end upwards a little, even if it means chipping out a bit of brickwork. The...

    Which Boiler should I go with.

    I work for Vokera and keep an eye on feedback to the review site. If you ask me if it reflects reality I'd have to write, spasmodically. These are customer reviews, some manufacturers ask their installers to review on them. Some manufacturers ask the end user to place a review if they're...

    NEW Air Source Heat Pump - house is cold :(

    Part L Building Regs; replacing a fixed appliance with one with an efficiency less than the one being removed is contrary to regas. Should be HP or a better efficiency appliance than the HP.

    Powerflush, yes or no?

    Is this your 'stay-in' house for say 20 years or a stepping stone? If the former, when you choose an installer whose judgement you trust ask how much.

    Valiant vs Viessman Heat Only Boiler

    My preference is the opposite, an installation will have one max flow rate for the design so a look along flow rate axis I’ll show available residual head.
