    HRM Wallstar 12/14 Flow Issues

    I have had to replace most of the half moon versions due to main exchanger leaks in the last 3 or 4 years. don't expect this one to last much longer. might be best to get it changed at the same time as sorting out the issues. the current replacement condensing version fits the same hole and...

    Twin system boilers not up to it?

    I've sent the guy a message, i have a lot of these setups in norfolk running on low loss headers. Gianonni exchanger has a lot of resistance and is normally only able to cope with about 12 rads max without some fine balancing. putting a low loss header in with a 8m pump normally will be fine...

    Nest 3rd Gen and Worcester Bosch 8000 Problem

    Yes because when the nest calls for heat the boiler maybe only pumping around a couple of rads on the top floor. once the boiler flow temp is reached it goes into a waiting period for a few mins before it starts all over again. Balance the rads, don't worry about the auto bypass ( if system...

    Heating question - major flood after service, what’s gone wrong here?

    looking at the pipework it looks like the feed is before the vent. with a pump on speed 1 this may work ok. I'm guessing when he tried to max rate the boiler it kept overheating so he increased the pump speed, not realising the feed and vent are plumbed the wrong way round and now the extra flow...

    Nest 3rd Gen and Worcester Bosch 8000 Problem

    I would be checking that the rads are balanced first. Many installers will leave the system with rad lockshields all fully open. Should be balanced.As a quick set up ground floor open 1.5 turns, 1st and second floors only open 1.0 turns. Also check that the auto bypass valve ( if it has one...

    six weeks, six visits, still no working boiler

    Finding this a problem occasionally with people choosing to have the premium heating oil. The additive combined with the increased levels of fame in kerosene causes the moisture and debris in the base of the tank to drawn in to solution. This causes the filters to get blocked much quicker. When...
