Hi I hope someone can help. I have an Vaillant Ecotec plus 630 boiler that runs my underfloor heating and my 10 radiators. in a 3/4 bedroom semi-det house. The radiators don't seem to get very hot - i've set the thermostat to 25, but its not getting warmer than around 16 Looking at the...

Dave - did you manage to get this fixed? I have exactly the same problem. house won't get past 16 degrees and i've set it to 22. Rads are warm, not hot. Boiler is showing s7 or s8 error codes Any advise would be greatful, thanks. Mamps

The reason I was think of splitting, is bcause originally was going to have a 250L cylinder (for a 4bed, 2 bathroom house). Now am having 210L and am aware that megaflo water runs out quicker than gravity fed cylinder because the flo rate is quicker hence giving a lovely powerful shower. I...

Yes, that helps. Thanks Ted.

Ok, so if I do have a combi and a megaflo, will the water in the cylinder be heated by the combi? so i'll still be having an indirect cylinder? I don't want to be using electic to heat the water in the cylinder as this would work out expensive in bills. Also, its the splitting of the water...

Thanks Dave. So the question now is system or combi boiler? and if i have a combi, do I split the kitchen/utility/cloackroom to use combi direct and the bathroom and ensuite shower to use the megaflo...

Sparkbird, did that work then to have smoke alarms instead of doors replaced? I don't want to replace my doors either as they are the original doors and I can't find replicas of them and also my downstairs lounge door is frenchdoors with glass and to get that in a firedoor version is well over £500.

Forgot to mention, another option is to keep my existing boiler. Its a Potterton suprima. Never given me any problems except for recently, it switches off for no reason and I have to press the reset button. Has been regularly doing that recently. Is it worth having it fixed and keeping it...

Hi I'm in the process of major house renovations. Its a 3 bed semi with 1 bathroom, but now I will have a loft ext with ensuite and an kitchen extension with utility room. So, originally I was going to go for a combi as I like the idea of instant hot water instead of waiting for a tank to...

How about the ground floor doors? do they also need changing? I have 2 doors downstairs on the ground floor. 1 that goes into the utility room, and 1 goes into the open plan lounge kitchen diner with doors to the garden.

Thanks for that. Just tried something that has the same result (i think) Turned on the kitchen hot water and blocked it with my hand and then turned the cold water on still blocking the tap. This seems to have got rid of the air lock. Thanks!

Hello I hope someone can help me. I had a new team shower pumb attached to the taps in my bath. It hasn't been working for a while so i've just replaced it. I turned the hot and cold water off in the loft, turned the electricity off, took the old pump off and put the new pump on, then turn...

I've have a new team duraspeed (1.5) shower pump under my bath. it only just fits. Its not working now, so i've been advised to go for a stuart turner showermate 1.4 pump. Is this a better pump to go for? I'm worried it might not fit. I have the dimensions of the stuat turner, but not...

My boiler is 5.5 years old. When the boiler first comes on, its sounds like the pipes are having a fight with a baseball bat. It makes really loud clanging noise. I think its only when the heating is on, but i'm testing that theory in the morning. Its so loud, its sounds really unsafe and...
