    Nest Wiring issues 3rd Generation

    Check the settings on a nest. When you first set it up it has disinfection enabled which means it wants to to do 1 hour of hot water first. I always disable this.

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

    the reason the boiler is taking so long to get up to temperature is because the software will only allow a temperature difference between flow and return of around 20 degrees. i'm fairly certain from what you have described is whats's happening. this is normally caused by poor balancing, system...

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

    I would say that the problem lies with system balancing. Do any radiators get hot? Does the system have an external auto bypass? if so adjust to 4. An easy check to see if it's the controls or the system is to force the boiler into chimney sweep mode. press OK button for 5 seconds. system...

    Glow Worm Climapro2 batteries run down in no time?

    the batteries normally last about 3 years. high battery usage is normally because it is struggling to communicate with the receiver on the boiler. Make sure you don't have stuff in front of the boiler. ( only a door etc)

    Replacing underfloor heating thermostats

    Don’t bother changing. With under floor set the temp and then just leave it. Changing the temp won’t save you much money but will cause wild temp fluctuations. If you are going to turn the temp down only drop the temp for about 6 to 8 hours . Usually 8pm till 4am.

    Oil Boiler Lockout

    you can't activate the fire valve by pressing the button. the only way to close the valve is for the temp to go over 66C. This is one of your problems though. someone has fitted the wrong fire valve. it should be a 85 /90c on a pressure jet burner. If it's a lack of fuel i would be looking at...

    Worcester Combi 20/25 Oil Boiler - Central Heating Pump

    genuine syncron motors have stamped syncron on the top. the copy versions have stamped syncronous. genuine should last about 6 to 8 years. copies will last about 2 to 3 years. you could have just undo the 4 screws and replaced the plate with the ball. much easier

    ASHP buffer tank options

    the volume of glychol and cost for that size accumulator would be enormous. it would require around 20lt for every 100lt. so it would cost in the region of £1500. No one in there right mind would do this. And then there is the requirement for safety and storage in the event of a drain down.
