    Advice on Combi boilers

    I have a Suprima 60 boiler (don't laugh) and the red light flashes to tell me of a problem quite often. I am getting tired of it and although it is only about nine years old, it may be time for a new boiler. I live in a 3 bed-terraced Victorian house and although the water is metered I don't use...

    Radiators

    All of the water in my radiator system was drained in March as I needed a new radiator fitting. Due to the nice weather back in that month, I only turned the heating system on 3-4 times more, yet one radiator needing bleeding as a lot of air had got (although I think that after a drain out, one...
