Come on, dont you all go quiet on me

Just wondering if someone can shed a bit of light on a problem a friend has. He has a closed system with airing tank expansion cylinder, etc and there is a three way motorised valve which allows heating system to heat cylinder(I think thats what its for!). When he turns the heating on to get...

rikki just replace the boiler for a high effi one and keep the tank and all. I'm looking into changing my old system to a condensing combi setup but only thinking of this because I might convert my loft later on, so the combi would get rid of all the tanks in the loft. Reading up though I...

Paul thats how they make money by making it sound easy. That way they can sell them hundreds/thousands of pounds worth of stock for doing bugger all apart from saying yes that fits straight in where the old one was with little modifying! I do the odd bathroom/kitchen and I'm not trained to a...

Anyone else got any helpful comments on questions above?

Snetty that seems like an odd system never seen one which heats the water which in turn heats the rad system. Its not like the one below in the link then? :? http://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/boilers.htm

Snetty the bit where you mentioned some radiators are on the hotwater circuit sounds very odd. Not sure how that would work? Assume you have an old system which heats the rad system and the hot water is heated in the tank using heat from rad system+element?

Looking into having a new boiler fitted but the old one (House build~1980 and boiler from new) has a 15mm supply coming out of the wall under it. Reading up, boilers require 22mm supply, is there any new condensing boilers which can run off my old 15mm supply and any recommendations? Failing...

Thats the reason I'm on here to find out a bit more information about what I have done so far and am in the process of doing. I'v done basic electrical training many moons ago so have some understanding but I dont pretend to know everything so I'm on here and other places looking for help and...

I'm not by it at the moment but it is a cream box in a very difficult place to get to or change for a new board(As ever). Is it safe the way I have it wired up at the moment? I assume the worst case cenario is the 30amp fuse will go? The 6mm cable is only running from the hob and oven...

Iv got 6mm running from the Hob and the Oven to the junction box. Would it be a better idea to replace the 30amp old fuse with a slightly more modern 45amp MCB which I have seen on ebay for few £'s?

John D or anyone else, like I mentioned above ran a 10mm cable and connected the hob and oven straight into a oven junction box, is it ok to run both the hob and oven from the same junction box? I'm still running the 30A old fuse would this likely go if all where going at the same time or...

O well just ran 10mm cable from unit to switch and then to an oven/hob junction box and connected them to this. Nightmare job and I am boiling now

The hob is 6.4kw and the oven is 2.9kw and it is an old fuse board with 30amp fuse any help?

I have 6mm cable running from main unit to cooker switch then to a connection block where I had a free standing electric cooker and hob. I now have a built in hob and seperate single oven which need seperate wiring. Can anyone tell me how I should go about this? Thanks :x

Iv only got the one bathroom and we dont tend to demand lots of hot water as we have an electric shower and never enough time to have a bath. So by the sound of it the ecotec is the way forward, I will have to get some quotes now I have a better understanding of what Im looking for.

ACOperson. Looking at the options they have the ecotec and max is there anyone you think is the better. I have a 3 bed detached house which I worked out ~30kw would be more than enough. If I have one installed I assume they need to clean the system, is there anything else they should be doing...

Any other views?????

Have heard a few good things about them anyone have any views on other boilers or more on the vaillant?
