    very slow heating leak somewhere (split off from other thread)

    Sorry to jump on your thread, op, however I’m beginning to wonder if I’m in a similar position. I’m pretty sure I have a very slow leak somewhere on the system (not the boiler which is less than 6months old.) However, I also have floorings that would be difficult to lift. I was wondering if...

    Which dimmer switch for LED bulbs?

    I've got matching MK switches and sockets virtually all round the house now. Just decorated the kids' bedrooms and hit a slight snag. I've replaced the old 60w tungsten bulbs with new 100w equivalent LED lights (Dial ones, from B&Q -...

    Balancing radiators - specific question

    I managed to grab half hour around work t'other day and whipped the rad off the wall and replaced it after turning it around, essentially swapping flow/return. It now appears to be heating up better overall, however its just reinforced my fear that it is undersized for where it is. With our new...

    Recommend me some wet pressure gauges

    A bit more searching and I came across this https://www.bes.co.uk/combined-pressure-temperature-gauge-80-mm-0-6-bar-bottom-entry-21922#product-details-tab which I believe would need something like this https://www.bes.co.uk/22-mm-x-22-mm-x-1-2in-compression-x-compression-x-bsp-f-tee-17679 to...

    2-core external grade cable, white - recommendations?

    Thanks for the back and forth on this - when I read the product page initially I spotted the "...indoor and outdoor conditions." part of the description so am guessing this should be ok outside. The temp range of only going down to -5degrees concerns me more to be honest.

    Recommend me some wet pressure gauges

    With our fancy new boiler, there is no analogue pressure gauge and the only way to check the pressure of the system is to turn the boiler to standby (i.e. DHW & CH off) which is a faff. I've done a quick bit of Googling but can't find what I think I want - 15mm pressure gauge that can be...

    Is it worth installing a Visonic Powermaster system as a DIY install?

    Hi, yes I'm happy with it. Other than replacing 2 sets of batteries (1 PIR and 1 keypad) the system has pretty much just worked. I subscribe to the PowerManage service through Sapphire Alarms for a very reasonable price. All this does is act as a bridge between you (a mobile app) and your alarm...

    2-core external grade cable, white - recommendations?

    I'm after some 2-core lightweight cable to connect up an external temperature sensor for weather compensation on a boiler. Can anyone point me to something lightweight that comes in white, whilst also being suitable for external use (i.e. fixed to the outside brickwork of a house.) Ta muchly.

    2.4 & 5 settings on my router question.

    I'd recommend having one common SSID for both 2.4 and 5 networks, and if you can, enable and configure band steering - this attempts to force devices capable of using 5Ghz onto that band, and those that can't default on to the 2.4Ghz band. This helps to ensure those devices that can take...

    Notification conundrum. Help required.

    I've done some further digging on my mail servers, in case it was an issue my end with changing spam/junk processing. I'm not seeing any mails from these forums coming through, so I can only assume it is an issue on the forum side.

    Intergas HRE36/40 or RFC36

    We noticed this initially too (ours is in a large pantry style cupboard in the kitchen) however either it has quietened down as it has run in, or more likely we've got used to it. Certainly when the CH is tickling along modulated right down, I have to open the cupboard to check and see if the...

    Notification conundrum. Help required.

    I know how the watched thread functionality works, that's not the problem - the issue is that I've stopped receiving any emails for threads I am watching. My account is set up to auto-watch threads I create and/or respond to (such as this one) and yet I haven't had an email telling me you...

    Notification conundrum. Help required.

    When you say notifications, do you mean emails informing you of updates to watched content? If so, I've just noticed that I'm not getting any either. It was working up until early last week but not now.

    Balancing radiators - specific question

    I'm re-balancing our system after fitting new radiators across most of the house... One of the existing rad's, which hasn't been replaced (and won't be for some time due to access issues and the fact its only a couple of years old anyway) I'm struggling to balance. No matter what I do, I can't...

    Pipework for central heating system

    Hi Jever, I expect vastly more knowledgeable people will shortly be along to offer advice in their various, and inimitable ways, however from reading your question, I'd suggest you are in way over your head. I won't pretend to be an expert, so take the following with a pinch of salt (and maybe...
