Hi Not sure if this or the central heating forum is the place to post so have placed in both, sorry for duplication. Right.......I've just had the yearly boiler service by British Gas, all working perfectly apart from them sticking an unsafe sticker on it because it needs to be connected to...

Yes I have, just wondered what would take priority, the TRV turning the radiator on/off or the wall stat? If I set the wall stat up high would the house radiators be governed by the TRVs? I have taken the TRV head off the radiator in the hall at the moment awaiting further posts

I have just changed the normal valves on my 11 radiators to TRVs, I have left normal valves on the towel rail in the bathroom as have not got a by pass valve fitted. My question is I have set the TRVs to the temperature we require for each room but what do I do with the wall thermostat in the...

Just make a frame using 4x2 or 6x2 wood, lay on top at least 12mm external ply, seal this timber with PVA, when all dry you need to lay the tray on a weak mix of building sand and cement, you need to do this not just to hold the tray down like no nails but also to bed the tray in as shower trays...

We live in a house built in 1965 and an extension built in 1995. Am about to get round to insulating the loft part of the original side, am going to get the rolls of fibreglass stuff from B&Q or similar. Have read somewhere that polystyrene slabs are a fire hazzard, can anyone tell me if this...

My alarm is an Assenta G3 with Assenta+ Keypad. The entrance door has contacts and also to cover the window next to it I have a PIR. The trouble I have is that when we enter through the door to key in our code into the keypad beside the door the PIR picks up our movement and sets off the...

The basin tap in the bathroom takes around the same time to flow hot as the bath taps, all taps are normal taps and not mixer taps.

Can anyone tell me why it takes about a minute for hot water to come through the hot tab in our bathroom first thin in the morning. Every other hot tap in the house take about 5 seconds to flow through hot. The bathroom is about 20 foor from the how water cylinder, dunno if this is the reason.

In the past we normally have the hot water heating and hot water on together, we have only just started having the water heating on constant since we have changed from an electric shower to a power shower.......well will have when it's installed after the tiling has been finished anyway!

Dont know what you mean, all I can say is that the radiator in question is about 6 foot from the airing cupboard where the hot water cylinder is.

I have the central heating on twice a day, 3 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the evening and also have the hot water on constant. We have a normal boiler (not combi) and even after 6 hours of the heating being off one of the upstairs radiators is still pretty hot. We have 11 radiators and...
