"Installed"? What do you mean? Replaced an old one? Fitted the Switchmaster anew? Sounds like you've cocked up the wiring. Refer to manufacturer's leaflet.

You do not say enough about the plumbing in your bungalow. Does it work under mains pressure or have a header tank? An electric shower would take forever to fill the bath.

As one who knows very little about plumbing, I am in future going to confine my postings to questions which get no response. Scandy, how on earth can you expect anyone to locate your shutoff valves (if indeed there are any) over a website when you cannot do so yourself with the benefit of...

Herein lies a clue. Have you tried simply turning it down? It's possible that steam from the vent is caused by the boiler boiling (hot spots, not the whole thing turning into a cauldron). Are you sure this is the reason? It's cold outside. The pump speed does not make a huge difference to...

Needs to be close to the boiler, or at least before there are any branches. I made that mistake and strange things happen.

So sorry to hear it. Have a cup of tea.

You can work it out NC = Normally closed. COM is connected to this when it's off (no call for heat) NO = Normally open. COM is connected to this when it's on (calling for heat) Accelerator needs to connect when it's on. This speeds up the stat's slow response to the room heating up, so it...

That's interesting. Unlike your U bend, this website doesn't usually let the wurd through.

Don't you dare :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just don't tell Oilman, all right?

Chris, you're even smarter than I thought. And that was smart enough :D .

Woa, steady on Chris! Highly flattered but I'm no plumber. What's more, Oilman would turn in his tank. There are other contributors to this forum (including yourself) who write with great clarity and have much more knowledge and experience than me. But I may have something to offer as...

The trouble with "do a search" (chrishutt) is that some people don't know how to, and those who do are likely to face page after page of irrelevant or semi-relevant postings. What's needed, if I may humbly suggest, is some carefully crafted off-the-shelf answers to common questions which...

You could install a 60Kw shower near the Velux and turn off the water supply. Then it would fire out great jets of heat into your draughty loft space. :twisted:

And who built Ronan Point? The council.

Have you seen those guys? They would either recycle the tar as fuel or eat it.

Nice of you, Chris. I may have picked up a little along the way. It was many years ago at the Machynllech alternative technology centre where the penny dropped about radiant heat. They have a huge exhibition hall heated by a black-body stove the size of a car. Even on a damp and chilly Welsh...

Yeah. Stop being such a nancy. If it's any more than a dribble and gets you clean, enjoy it.

So that makes 31. Still not worth £1billion

What an elegantly-put question :) I know nothing about central heating but have long felt that air temperature alone does not bring a sensation of real warmth. What makes us feel most comfortable is radiant heat emitted from the surroundings or reflected back from the body. So a fan...
