That's what my heating engineer also suggested, but added he would leave the boiler on 24/7 and fit individual room stats. I will run it as it is for a while and check usage. Then turn it of between 21.00 and 04.00 and see what difference it makes. Down rate the boiler if needed (d.00) -...

Thanks for the recent replies. Looks like I should have gone for a 24kw replacement, not a lot i can do about that now!! I have decided I will leave the boiler on 24/7 for the time being. A quick gas usage cost check for the past week works out at £3.36 a day. About 10% cheaper than the old...

Hi Tony Thanks for the reply. Setting the flow temp lower was what i suspected was needed. I have lowered it a little to 56 C and will see how it goes. May well lower the temp a little more over the next few weeks will see how it goes. I take it the lower the flow temperature back to the...

Sorry perhaps i haven't been clear in my initial post. Water flows from my boiler at 60 C, it them reaches the manifold(s) where is it mixed with the cooler return water and circulated round the under floor pipes at a lower temperature. Hopefully that helps

Hi No separate expansion vessel. However after installation we had it running all loops for 24hrs at 25 degrees room temp and coped with that ok. No programmer fitted to boiler, programmer works from the UFH manifold.

Just had a new Vaillant Eco Tech Plus 630 boiler fitted and the heating engineer has set the flow temp at 60 degrees from the boiler. Have 3 manifolds, 10 loops, all with adjustable mixing valves to control the mixed underfloor and under screed zones. The old boiler didn't have a programmable...

I thought £1800.00 - £2000.00 about right. £1200.00 for the boiler + flue including VAT. £600.00 - £800.00 to fit and supply odds and sods. Father in law paid £430.00 including VAT to have his boiler fitted as mentioned earlier. It is being fitted by my regular plumber, better the (old)...

Decided on a Vaillant Eco Tec Plus 630 - £1800.00 - £2000.00 fitted. Unfortunately have had to let the excellent plumber go who helped me at the weekend as he quoted £2500.00 fitted.

Hi Now very short on time as the boiler is leaking constantly this morning. Several plumbers were too busy to even come and look until after Christmas.... Someone did manage to have a look at it late yesterday but the leak stopped lunchtime!! IMO he did as much as he could and left it for me...

Hi Thanks for the reply. Regarding the thermostats. I think this what happens. They are wired into a control box near each manifold, when there is a call for heat the sunvic value opens and the manifold pumps starts pumping. The water circulates lower the temperature at the boiler and the...

Hi Just completed building an extension to my home, complete with overspend, and my 11 year old Baxi Barcelona appears to have died. I am looking for a decent replacement. Owe my in laws a few thousand quid but will be able to re-mortgage next year to cover that and the new boiler. I found the...

[/url] A problem shared is a problem halved - I guess your half CBA Funny video

Good idea :P

Just to add if you look at my previous posts you will see i have helped build my own house and currently am helping build the extension to it. I love working outside hot or cold. All i wanted to know the restricting of window openings where i work allowed. It is easier to adjust to...

Thanks for your help It is much as I thought and not a lot I can do. Union not prepared to help. Have had a H&S risk assessment. Shorts and T-Shirt it will be from now on and my line manager who is insisting I don't wear shorts, probably because of my unsightly legs, can go ...... CBA...

Hi Thanks for the reply. There are two exits from the room that are fire escapes and this is one reason why I believe the restrictors are in place. The restrictors do have clips but also a locking nut is in place preventing full movement of the restrictor / opening of the window. I did...

I can't seem to find an answer to this on the internet so does anyone here know the answer. My employer has fitted new UPVC windows in the office where I work. The windows only open about 6 inches on the first floor and above as they have been fitted with a locking mechanism which when opened...

Hi I am in exactly the same position. Any advice or recommended brand appreciated.

Just boarded my garages centre roof space and don't see a problem with it as long as you are sensible with what you store up there. I used 8 x 4 sheets of 18mm chipboard cut in half and screwed onto the trusses. Where two sheets of chipboard rest on a single truss I screwed a piece of 3 x 2...

We built our home in 2001/02 with planning permission granted in 2001. All we had to do was put 50mm jablite on top of the blinded stone before we poured concrete on the oversite. As mentioned thicker underlay required.
