I don't think it has, or at least he hasn't wired up the permanent live. I think that's the reason the water temperature screen is only on when there is a demand for heat.

I'm not sure. The pump is in a cabinet with a megaflo unvented cylinder and has 3 valves. I am not sure how they work together. Maybe an option but I couldn't say. I will just have to take the advice of the 2 professionals I have invited around to quote.

Terry, Tony. Unfortunately I am not qualified to answer these questions. I would guess not but have no idea really.

I don't really see how the size and weight thing is relevant. It seems like a troll attempt to be honest. I've not been intimidating or threatening to him in the slightest. For the record, I work in IT and don't exercise. He could be a brazilian jujitsu blackbelt for all I know. This is...

Because he has never offered to fix it properly at any price. If he would had ever responded to me saying that he could fix it meeting the manufacturers installation requirements and said he would charge me £50 I would have bitten his hand off. Edit: Anyway, thanks for your comments. I made...

I don't want to take him to court though, that's a last resort. I want it fixed whether it costs £50 or £1000. I have offered him many opportunities and have only got 'harsh' with him as a last resort. He fitted the boiler in December. I've given him many chances and was very polite and only...

Another thing he says is that he doesn't want to come around and have some kind of confrontation which I have assured him will not be the case. He has described me as 'vehement' in my communications. I think he just means that I stood up for myself. Its not just this he has also done other...

I'm trying to get quotes and will offer him the chance to cover the cost when I have them. I have suggested to him in the past that I could get a 3rd party in to do it if he would cover the cost and he either ignored me or refused. It's not really electrical work per-se which is the problem...

Hi I agreed a fixed price quote with a plumber to install a Glowworm 18HX boiler to replace an Ideal Classic FF360. After he'd fitted the boiler and it was basically working he told me that he couldn't wire up the permanent live and pump overrun because wiring was needed between the boiler...

Hi, I bought a new house a little over a year ago and it has an area paved with concrete slabs which are laid loose on a sand bed with no jointing material between the slabs. There was extensive weed and unwanted grass growth between the slabs. I sprayed it with roundup and cleared most...

Thermodul is 15mm tubing: "Furnishing element in aluminium, heating core with supply and return copper piping external diameter 14.7 mm. thickness 0.6 mm, heating fins aluminium" http://www.skirtingboardheating.co.uk/skirting-heating-technical.htm#water

When I looked today I couldn't find the price I was looking at before which was from a UK site, but it still was much cheaper than using the commercially available skirting board heating offerings. The £5 per meter price is from Alibaba for a minimum order of 100 meters.

Hi, the one I looked at was 15mm and was basically 2 parallel copper pipes running through punched aluminium slats, like a heat exchanger block. I can't remember which one it was right now, it may have been climaboard. I wondered if it's important for the 2 pipes to share the same slats/fins...

Hi, 15mm finned copper tube is about £5 per meter. For our smallish modern 4 bedroom detached, I worked out about 150 meters of tube would be needed for a double run across 3 walls of the 8 rooms I would like to convert. So £750 on finned pipe. About 25 m2 of metal plate would be required...

Hi, I was really interested in skirting board heaters but have been put off by the enormous cost. The cheapest one seems to be Thermaskirt, but its not the best one and still about £600 to do a medium sized room :shock: http://www.thermaskirt.com/products-and-prices.aspx I was wondering...

Hi, yuk sorry for Americanism! There is no stopcock inside the house. When I need to turn the water off I have to turn it off at the water meter on the outside wall.

Hi, I moved into a house about 1 year ago, it is about 12 years old and since I've lived here there has been lots of thumping noises from the pipe work which happens when any of the faucets are open and also when the dishwasher, washing machine or showers are using water. It's a continuous...

Yes I understand what you're saying and I don't see how turning a fan by hand proves that it was 'seized' rather than just not being 'turned on' either! It sounds like a load of nonsense to me too. However I think on balance its probably nothing to do with the Megaflo based on what people...

Hi, We've lived in this house for a little under a year. We always have the immersion heater switched off (via the electical switch in the Megaflo cupboard which is on the floor below the gas boiler) because we don't need it. I've long suspected that it doesn't work since I've tried...

He just texted me saying that he moved the fan that was seized but it wouldn't move under its own power when he came around on Saturday. Anyway, he says he'll fit it and get the system working for the agreed price and has good feedback from other people + has been around for a while. If he...
