    Combi boiler problems: What are your opinions please?

    Sounds like a problem with your diverter still to me. Your boiler might be on dhw pre heat that is struggling to reach temp as your losing the heat from the boiler into your radiators

    Flexicom 15hx - F22 (and other faults)

    F22 is a dry fire fault. Basically when the boiler ignites it is looking for a certain temperature rise within a certain amount of time. If it doesn't get this then it thinks there is no water in the system. Check to see what speed setting your pump is at. If it's at 3 try turning it down to 2...

    GLOW WORM CRAP

    It depends, if it was not a problem with the boiler and the fault is system related then they will charge you for the privilege of calling them out. They will only fix a boiler problem on the £260 fixed repair. If you'd of gone for the slightly more expensive cover, they will cover some system...

    please help, odd problem with heating...

    I know you've sorted it now but from what you say it's almost as though the programmer was set up for a gravity hot water system.

    Vaillant Ecotec Plus 937 f81 f91 fault

    You can but it's not recommended. As well as the pump failing the o rings on the connection to the pump have a nasty habit of disintegrating and then leak mains pressure water all over the place. Replacing the pump is DEFINITELY not a diy job. I've changed many over the years and it's a pain in...

    Attempting to balance rads with condensing (Vaillant) boiler

    What is your main problem and why are you trying to balance the system. From the limited info you've given I would suggest that your boiler is too powerful for your system and causing problems heating the house up. When your heating is on try pressing the i button and see if a s53 status code...

    Weird problem with 3-port valve - affecting CH

    It the programmer/room stat isn't calling for heat then there should be no voltage on the white wire to the 3 port valve so should not fire the boiler. Generally 3 port valves will stay in the ch only position when the the last demand was for ch only and will only spring back once the voltage...

    British Gas 330 F5 Fault

    Personally I think it just needs an engineer that understands your system and boiler. There are many reasons that can cause a boiler to overheat. Do all your radiators get hot over the whole of the panel. One of the signs if sludge is cold spots on your radiators especially at the bottom in the...

    Glow Worm "One Off Repair" Complaint Help

    The first thing I would say is that as it's the CX model the engineer would only of needed to drain the boiler, as it can be isolated from the heating. Leaving the pipe from the pressure relief valve disconnected is just careless on the engineers behalf. Finally as he would of isolated the...

    High levels of CO outside - Boiler shut down

    There are many problems that can give high CO readings, many of which can be resolved by a good experienced engineer. Get a second opinion because the problem might just be a seal that has deteriorated and gone brittle over time that needs replacing.

    Hot flush or power flush

    It depends on how good the person power flushing is. A bad flush is worse than no flush at all because all they will do is loosen and dislodge the crud, then leave it to float around your system until it ends up blocking up your boiler

    Potterton Prima F 40 - Main burner not lighting

    And then in 2 weeks time it will probably be you not answering the phone or door when the engineer wants the second 50% as you'll feel like you've been ripped off by an honest tradesman who's actually fixed your boiler.

    COST ESTIMATE - SUPPLY AND FIT UV CYLINDER AND SYSTEM BOILER

    Why get rid of a perfectly good boiler. Just add an extra zone to your heating circuit for your cylinder and maybe just run your kitchen sink off the combi side of your boiler.
