    New hot water and heating boiler

    If you have 6 bedrooms over 3 floors then i wouldn't be using a system boiler, or if i was i would possibly using a low loss header as the resistance across the giannoni exchanger is very restrictive. That will also be the problem with your current boiler although the resistance across the...

    Honeywell T3R thermostat keeps increasing the temp.

    take the batteries out and bend the metal spring tab out so it has a tighter fitting. if this is loose it can cause various issues, but the most common is the heating coming on when it shouldn't be.

    using washers in oil line coupling

    What age burner is this? I think the fault may not be with the pump and is with the control cox or the photocell. If the photocell fails it causes the motor to run continuously and in this causes the oil pump to overheat, the oil pump uses the oil flowing through it to cool it. Problem being...

    Grant Combi 90 MKII Issue - Any help or advice greatly appreciated!

    i'm guessing it still has a G5 but he is referring to the red light on the control panel. pump solenoids rarely fail on riello's so i would be looking at fuel starvation. I would check the filter at the tank is clean first.

    BG330+ Boiler Replacement

    when you say leaking from the pipe. do you mean the grey/white flexible pipe beneath the boiler? not uncommon for these to leak where they are pushed onto plastic condensate pipe. Not a great fit sometimes. Just a cable tie will solve the leak most times. If it leaking from within the boiler...

    Worcester Bosch Greenstar 8000 Life problems....Or are they???

    There is a problem with the gas valve on some of the 8000 boilers . All owners will be contacted over the next 2 months to replace those affected . Not sure what is the issue with the gas valve. I would get Worcester back if you are unhappy but make sure explain the problem so the engineer solves it

    Wallstar Boiler working with panel off?

    oil solenoid coil is the most common fault for this, But second most common fault is the ignition unit. it is recommended on the benetone boilers that a combination of these components are changed at certain intervals.

    Hot water problems

    if it only affected the shower then the fault is with the shower. But when these older megaflow cylinders start to fail the internal baffle breaks apart and can then block the hot feed on showers etc. This cylinder is at least 20 years old and replacing it maybe the right thing to do. But i...
