I had a smart meter fitted by BG a couple of years ago. Then I swapped to Eon. If I recall correctly I tried the meter after I swapped and it didn't work and I think I phoned eon and they said they would have to fit their own at some undisclosed time in the future. Surely this is madness they...

Will do. Thanks.

Ah OK. Yes he did state on the quote what work he was going to carry including flushing etc. He did also explain the risks of pressuring the system which I wasn't previously aware of. The quote was actually slightly less than his initial estimate with more work. So I was satisfied and happy to...

Thanks for your reply. I haven't had a schedule of works. What is that and how would it help me?

I take your point but this company definitely doesn't have a bad rep. Like I said it has excellent online reviews and this is obviously his policy as the terms and conditions on his website say so. I'm not too worried as it is a long established company.

Interesting thread because I'm just about to get a new boiler and central heating modifications carried out. The heating engineer has asked for and been given a 50% deposit. It surprised me that this is his policy to be honest because I have had extensive work carried out over the last three...

I'm going back nearly fifty years to when I was in college but if I remember right the db scale is logarithmic so 50db is twice as loud as 40db. Incidentally I'm following this thread with interest as I'm having a boiler fitted in my bedroom in an airing cupboard as it's the only place we can...

From what I read on the other forum this system is common on the continent and America. I don't think it is an error it has to sample the radiator water temperature to know how much heat to put into the system. I'm new to all this though so I don't know how other systems operate. Bear in mind as...

Just to add further info to my post for you or anyone else who finds this thread after a search. I contacted WB again today and asked if it was also possible to turn off the pump during the day by setting the desired room temperature to just frost protection. I got a far more detailed answer...

Coincidently I enquired about this today through WB's online help service. I am having a 29cdi fitted in a couple of weeks complete with a wave and I read on a forum that if the weather compensation is enabled then the pump will run all the time. Their reply was that yes this is how it works. I...

Thanks for your replies. Yes I will get three quotes. I didn't think I would get much of a response regarding a price I was mainly wanting to know if it would require a replacement consumer unit which was answered up thread. I did ask the lecky when he did the living room and he said he would...

Thanks for your reply. Yes I wish I had got him to fit a larger unit. Stupidity on my part rather than his. I guess I was trying to keep the cost of the new kitchen install down as it was costing us an arm and a leg already. Not something we have done every week so its a case of live and learn...

Its more like the second picture lol. Seriously though its an old concrete ex council semi detached with concrete walls. Is that enough info? As stated in the op it's three bedrooms one bathroom and landing.

Can anyone give me a ball park figure for a rewire please? Downstairs has already been done as part of fitting new kitchen and living room refurbishment. Would require four new double sockets fitted in new positions and three existing renewed and rewired. Three bedrooms, landing and bathroom +...

Yes it is a Worcester accredited installer. I've pretty well decided to go for the wave so it will be a 10 year guarantee. Just to correct my earlier post, I was playing with the demo app and it turns out you can set 6 different time settings not 4.

So Which are fiddling their customer satisfaction surveys, have Worcester Bosch staff selecting best buys and they are taking backhanders hmmm...

From a customer point of view what's not to like? It's a Which best buy and comes with eight years parts and labour guarantee if installed by an approved installer. The people I know who have them installed like them and they say when they have their annual service the engineers say they prefer...

Thanks for that. I have downloaded the app on to my android device. It doesn't look quite as nice as the hive app but its hard to judge just how good it is from a demo. The android reviews are also mixed although nothing to really put me off. The only thing I have noticed on the demo that I...

You are right I can't make up make up my mind and am looking for someone to hold my hand and make the decision for me :-). We will almost certainly be in the property in 10 years time so might regret not having the extra guarantee. Also the wave should save a little on our heating. Think I will...

Thanks for the further replies. I'm still undecided. Do any posters use the wave thermostat? I'm wondering how consistent it is particularly if for instance, you try turning on the heating whilst away from home? Hive is pretty well 100% reliable.
