    blasted trianco eurostar oil boiler

    not a bad thought that, not for this 1 as i think its possibly something simple once it shows it face. but when you get ur new burner, do you use the blast tube that comes with it? or use the 1 on the existing burner?

    thanks for the advice, i don't think the jet was the correct one at all and it wasn't set up correctly. where do you get your danfoss coils for £11? cheers, tim.

    Replace Ideal Boiler

    find a genuine local installer and get them in to quote. ask some sensible questions and gauge the reaction. personally, i'd say avoid worcester. valliant are good and viessmann are also decent. i'd recommend viessmann 26kw system boiler with weather compensation.

    Are Condensing Boilers Any Good?

    at what cost though? i've scrapped alpha's, glow worms and vokera's because the customer simply didn't want to throw money at a boiler, they'd had previous guys chuck parts at it at huge cost, then it failed again, tried someone different (me) and they simply want rid, replaced with a...

    Are Condensing Boilers Any Good?

    true. personally i think ideal mexico's and kingerfishers are the best boilers and certainly the best for the enviroment, when you consider the fact they'll probably need no parts over a 30 yr life span. a modern condensing boiler even the best ones need money chucking at them every few...

    What's a Reasonable price for replacing an oil tank?

    thats just not true. if you can get a single skinned tank, someone will fit it. just like a non condensing oil boiler! i have fitted loads more non condensing boilers than condensing. mainly coz they're simply so much better and will last longer! so....better for the enviroment in the...

    What volkera?

    then by a viessmann, get a trained installer and get 5 years warranty. even the cdi range of worcester can have 5 yrs. vokera.....buy once......spend 10 times on the cost of the replacment parts. your man said vokera because he doesn't know a decent boiler and his merchants have...

    Whole house ...Mains booster pump?

    more often than not, if you have poor flow, the pressure won't be too bad. if that is the case, then you have the option of a pressure vessel. its a large capacity vessel of about 500l, it is pottable and goes inline with your incoming mains. i've done a few where there is a long...
