Yes and Yes I believe so.

We do - it doesn't work either! Will get that fixed at the same time.

We spend £40 on electric a month and gas is about £33. Gas might drop to about £10 for the hob I guess.

We have a bedroom with an outside wall and a living room. Neither are really suitable. As I say we don't suffer too much - there is not a great demand on the boiler. I understand where you are coming from if talking about a house with radiators but this is a very small flat, well insulated...

We know - it has all been considered. I have gained a lot of opinions on this situation. We don't have a great outside wall as such as most of the back of the flat is taken up by windows. We are probably going to move in a year. It may make the place harder to sell but some heating is better...

The diagram came from the install manual here: http://www.plumbnation.co.uk/site/amptec-c900-9kw-electric-flow-boiler/amptec-installation-guide.pdf What would be my best option to solve this? I will phone a few electricians today to get an idea of cost. What should I specifically ask for to...

OK thanks all. So, how much can i expect to pay to have this done by an electrician? The boiler sits opposite the CU so no difficult routing of wires etc. The reason we can't have a gas boiler is because the flat was designed with a Keston boiler with 2x 50mm flue pipes which go in to the...

Many thanks - how do you mean by notifiable? As in - get it done properly?

Hi there, We are looking to buy a new boiler and have an electric one fitted in place of the gas (for various long drawn out reasons :() In the manual of the boiler we are considering it says it requires: -- Double pole RCD with trip level sensitivity to 30mA -- Double pole linked switch...

Finally I cut the yellow wire after a few failures to ignite and after, the first attempt, it lit. To try and prove it was not a fluke I joined the wire, it failed a good few times and then I cut it again. This time it took 3 times to get going - not instant as it was before. If the...

Touch wood, it has been fine since BG engineer left on Monday. I have the setting for hot water to "Constant" so it just tops up the tank here and there. I wonder as it is going on and off more often whether the heat retained in the boiler is causing the ignition to work better. Previously it...

I am tempted to try just replacing the condensate trap. Are they usually an easy bit to swap. Can it be seen in the photos? What does the yellow wire do? Will get someone more qualified than I to do this.

I took the £99 fee to fix with parts and labour and me taking an insurance plan after. Well, he had a look at it.....pretty much said it was fecked and to get a new one. They will not take it on under the insurance plan, nor could he fix all the faults so my £99 is refunded and the insurance...

It is a lot of up front cash to replace. Is something like British Gas HomeCare Flexi 300™ worth it's money? I think I might have to pay to get this fault sorted and then go in to a plan. So, in general, are British Gas a safe bet to call out?

We have a small flat with under floor heating and a Keston Celcius 25 in a pressurised system. Having read many horror stories on here I still can not find a definitive solution. The problem started when the boiler stopped igniting properly. It would try and fail 4 times then give up with an...

Hiya, Many thanks, is there an easy test for either?

Hi all, We have this washer dryer and on a small to medium load it is trying to spin (from the start of the cycle) but just can not turn the thing over. I thought the belt was slipping so I took the back off to see whilst it was going and its not, it just vibrates where the motor does not...

Typically I did not get those most crucial details. I will try though. They have the British Gas insurance so its just a phone call to get fixed but with New Year it may take a little while. Thanks, Jack

Hi all, The in-laws boiler has started making a strange noise. It starts about 30 seconds after the gas comes on and lasts about a minute until the gas goes off again. The flame can be seen clearly through the little window. Any ideas what it is? Sorry this is in an .amr format which I...
