Many thanks for the replies and advice so far. I'll get some quotes tomorrow. I must admit I am leaning towards the unvented option.

Morning all, I called our home emergency cover yesterday and a heating engineer came out to basically say he think's our boiler is beyond economical repair. I also have a Gledhill Systemate 2000 which has two leaking pump valves and he advised I get rid of this also (it, like the boiler, is 14...

And just to check, if getting another boiler it should be rated similar (in kW) to the existing boiler? Current boiler has an output range of 14.65 - 17.58kW. If I were to get a Baxi Ecoblue Heat only for example, would either a 16kW or 19kW seem like the most sensible option given that it's...

Yes, understand thanks. Definitely will just go for heat only. If I replace the thermal store in the future I therefore assume you can get pumps fitted locally to the cylinder in a similar way. In an ideal world I would replace the boiler and thermal store with an unvented cylinder and system...

It was just what my heating engineer stated last time he was in to do a service. I assumed because it is a big house basically with lots of rads. However my glow worm is something like 14-17kw and manages fine. Therefore something of the same order should do in that case? (even if get an...

Just another q. The manual for my thermal store states if using a boiler >20kw that the pipe must be 28mm. I think mine is 22mm. We have a 5 bed house so thought a bigger boiler would be needed and planning unvented cylinder in the future. Daft q but could I get a 28kw boiler and just turn it...

Im happy to go heat only. I just wanted to make sure it would be compatible with an unvented as wouldnt want to have to change the boiler again! Thanks for the replies.

I'd like to go for a system, but will it be compatible with my current heating system? The thermal store has 3 pumps in it. Ideally I would rip it out now and get an unvented cylinder in, but not sure if I can get that done within a few days. I know my usual heating engineer cant install...

It is thank you. I wasn't sure if a heat only boiler worked with an unvented system because it doesn't have a built in pump. I assume therefore you can have external pumps fitted?

Morning all, It looks like my boiler is in trouble. I've noticed this morning that my electrics have tripped and I have isolated the fault to my boiler. I have a several year old Glow-worm. By the looks of it, it is a heat only boiler. I was thinking about a new boiler anyway, so I dont want to...

Thanks everyone, that is a relief.

Good morning, I am planning to wall mount the TV in the living room. I had planned to move the coax aerial point and a double socket to the centre and then put a TV unit in front to hide the sockets and where the cables exit from the wall running from the TV. The thing that is giving me a...

Thanks oldbuffer - i've done that now. It was actually about 2.5 bar before and adjusted to just over 3 bar and I can already see a difference in the shower. I am reluctant to increase it too much so will see how I go with this. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply. Good job I checked as shows I don't really understand the regulator. I noticed the red pointer at 5 bar (but this is just a loose pointer - I can move it by hand). The black pointer is at only 2.5 bar - what does the latter represent in this case? When you run the kitchen...

Thanks DP for a good honest answer.

Hi again, Following my other thread about the water regulator I also wanted to know generally what thoughts are about the heating system and If I should invest in replacing. I have a conventional boiler (Glow worm Micron 60FF) in situ with a Gledhill Systemate 2000 thermal store (Id never...

Hi folks, Been a while since I posted here, but just moved into a new property so have a couple of queries. I have very poor flow rate in my ensuite shower (reasonable everywhere else). I've noticed a water regulator has been fitted by the stopcock. I have attached a picture. Basically can...

Just to follow up, the wire switch around worked a treat. Thanks for your help.

Thanks will give that try, I thought doing that would reverse the switch (i.e. off is on and vice versa) but it obviously isnt the same as a normal switch. So basically so long as I keep the same twin neutrals and twin lives with each other I cant go to far wrong....

Is there a reasonable way of identifying which is the offending live wire to be moved or would I be best placed to get a professional in?
