Mine does the same. No biggie - just use the app.

I would say sametime. The sparky will then provide leccy exactly where plumber needs it. This is what we did when we rewired and installed a new CH system into our previous house.

You have said this before and it is not true. Whilst Hive is not Opentherm compatible it does have other TPI related energy saving features which others do not. Also spending a couple of hundred quid which would probably take decades to recoup is nuts. Stick with Hive and focus on your schedule...

How is this a DIY disaster ?

Morning, Just had our unvented hot water cylinder serviced - should we have received a certificate of some kind ?. My wife didnt ask for one and neither was she given one. Cheers.

I am in a similar situation. Our loft rooms (they have been rooms for over a hundred years) are fully boarded, have windows, lighting etc and are actually historically classed as bedrooms. However, the floor joists are only 3 x 2 across span of approx 3.5 metres. I cant increase the height of...

Went with sealed and haven't looked back. System is more efficient, heats up faster and now my loft is free of tanks full of water :)

I thought a tie bar was necessary in conservatories to stop the roof from spreading ?

Put a lightweight roof on it - we have a very similar wood framed conservatory and are looking into doing just that. Should sort the heat issues.

Easy. Probably from a leaking gutter, toilet, pipe, condensation etc etc. The source of the damp needs to be fixed rather than managed.

Fernox MB-1 originally (same as F1 apparently) and then topped up with Adey MC1 last year, I understand that the system needs topping up regularly. I have been testing with some litmus paper. The reason I am concerned is that on some of the cast iron rads I have noticed a small amount crusty...

Also, see response below when I contacted them :- Hi Mark, Industry standards vary slightly from one company to another, but as a guide, it is recommended that the system water should be maintained between a pH of min 6.5 & 8.5 max to prevent system corrosion. Each whole pH value below or above...

From the website :- No caustic/corrosive/acidic plumbing compounds or liquids are to be used on or in any part of our radiators, our valves or connections including aggressive flushing agents. If required, the system should be flushed with clean water only. The water in the system must be...

Hi all, I had some large cast iron rads installed a couple of years ago. I know they are very sensitive to corrosion etc and so I ensured that the system was treated with plenty of inhibitor. Just to make sure all is well I have tested the system and the pH has come out at 9 which is too high...

Hive's Hub 360 will hear your alarm (if there is an internal alarm) and report it to your phone

An Airey house is post war prefab :- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airey_house If you cant get it safe to existing regs then don't do it at all.

I used 50mm insulated plasterboard dot and dabbed directly onto all external walls in an 1880s house. Not had a single problem, toasty and quiet.

Hive have just released smart TRVs that can trigger the boiler.

I've just been doing the same with my ceilings for the same reasons. However I have used 100mm Rockwool RW3 instead which also gives good sound as well as thermal insulation. Certainly a lot easier to fit and cheaper too probably.
