2/3 of the cost of the install as we had the use of the boiler for 5 years.

Just to let you know that i won in court. The installer didn't know he needed to install a bypass

When you're faced with no heating again as the winter approaches you tend to get the work done. The intention was to make the family comfortable again. If I had found this site earlier I may have been fixing it, though I doubt it. The second installer didn't suggest trying to recover the...

It's about trying to confirm what went wrong. It was only when the other installer inspected the system, originally with a view to fixing, that he said the system had been installed incorrectly. The Benchmark checklist was ticked as "Automatic bypass not required" despite the installation...

Original system was 25 years old and no real problems until TRVs installed as part of boiler replacement (apart from the boiler starting to die). As I said there were at least 20 visits for assorted problems after new boiler installed. It's going to be small claims to get the money back...

Is there a reset button on the front panel? A pen or pencil in the hole to press the button.

My local friendly installer installed a Glow Worm Ultracom boiler some time ago and it's never been quite right, in fact it ended up quite wrong. This was a boiler replacement and as part of the work he also installed TRVs, which I understand are now required. What I didn't know then was...
