Hi Thanks for your response. Another question how good are kits such as: http://www.screwfix.com/p/yale-wireless-4-room-alarm-kit/54473 other DIY type kit suggestions welcome. and are they simple enough to DIY? My main concern is around if they need any special positioning or...

hi again going for the OV system, installer checked out pressure etc etc talked to us for a while about out needs and also related that back to pressure and we all agreed the ov SYSTEM is best for us. one questions remains - do we need to change all the pipework or not. There are no...

Hi all, thanks for the useful responses. I have concluded that I wont go wrong with either Drayton or Honeywell (@£75 extra). Final question which I think was partly answered but not sure - are IFLO and drayton products the same thing?

Hi, Our heating engineer is suggesting to use IFLO branded heating controls? I have been told they are, they are made by LifeStyle - but I have not heard of LifeStyle either - just Drayton LifeStyle... Can any one shed light on this IFLO brand. I have the option to pay £75 and go for...

sorry to come back to this. I understand durability stainless steel is better. what about heat retention and reheat times? is one better than the other. assume all other factors are same im looking at the envirofoam gledhill

Hi, We want to get an alarm system fitted and someone has recommended a scantronic alarm system. The specific system was the ION16 with multiple PIRs, door contacts and window shock sensors. Are these good? Also what other brands should I be going for when getting quotes? What...

So from the sounds of it and from whats been said in the last few posts I wont really go wrong with the Valliant 4xx or equivilent glowworm?

No efficiency in a more generic way mentioned earlier in the post nothing significant to be fair. Basically I want to get the best open vent boiler I can get . I had it down to WB vs vaillaint but heres my of negatives: Vaillaint: Problem with frothy pipes - is this really valid...

Mixied views on this e.g. the glowworm is not as efficient as the 418. Is the veissman a definate better choice? or am I better of with the WB

With regards to your latter comment, a very good point. I guess I've always been one to double check things!

Thank for your advice, to best honest the only advice I am after is the best type of boilers if I am to stock with a OV. What is it that I dont understand? Thats why I am on this forum asking questions. Please enlighten me. I wont digress by further discussing the quotation options.

Whilst you all add value to my posts and for that I am grateful, I am quite new to these forums but a long standing member of other subject forums. Some of these assumptions are simply incorrect. I have had gas registered installers advice me, but l think it is also sensible to verify any...

Thanks for your opinion. I had a hard time making a decision on which system to go for but thoguht best going for tried and tested. It just seems that everyone has a different opinion on these things!

Further to my previous thread Im almost decided to go for a new open vented system. Baxi is another option but I've heard a few bad things about them. Which of the stated boilers would you suggest and why?

can you send me a link to your website or anything can you do work in bedfordshire#?

Old thread I know, but OP, which one did you go for and how are you getting on? Also, what else did you have changed, or was it just a boiler swap out. I currently have back boiler that needs changing, planning to do the cylinder and rads too.

Hi mickyg are you an installer and if so what type of systems do you fit? I am in bedfordshire

any suggestions given my two options 1. OV as stated in OP (to add to this, do people still fit new OV systems?) 2. Combi Boiler See my comments with regards to flow.

Ok so are they all fast recovery or do I have to look for somethign special on them? whats the difference between the difference types? assume I will keep the tank in the loft and possible put a expansion vessel in for the radiator circuit.

So are you suggested the OV system instead? Update for Flow.... just tested now approx 1035 PM but in upstairs bath tub tap single feed (mains) I done 5 litres in approx 12 - 13 seconds... thats a big difference. I should say that the kitchen tap test I did earlier was a mono block type...
