We had a combi boiler that has now been replaced by a combi new boiler last year. Both have the same symptoms. The old boiler was set to 1 bar pressure. This new one sits at 1.5 when the CH water is cold. Both maintain pressure until I bleed a towel rail then the pressure drops. Both systems...

In July 2022 I had some popped double glazing changed. 15 months later the rubber seals on two of the 5 windows are starting to bulge. I keep pushing them back with a fingernail but it soon bulges again. How do I get them to stay in places and was it a faulty repair for the reason for the...

In June of 2022 I contacted my council about an outbuilding under construction that was only 26cm from my fence and approaching 3m high so requiring planning permission. The council did nothing despite photos being sent. I have now had a reply to my stage one complaint, which I want to appeal...

Looking at all the questions here the Hive seems to be a product of choice except it can’t modulate any boiler. Please correct me if I am wrong but its principle function is to switch the boiler on and off at defined times with preset temperatures that can be controlled via a smart phone but it...

I have changed the title to dismiss gas causing the problem. I can understand that if there is a weep on a sealed system then the boiler gauge pressure will eventually show a drop. On my combi the pressure gauge doesn’t move and stays constant until I bleed a towel rail. Then the pressure gauge...

With a combi we are told that there should be an ideal temperature drop across a radiator of 20C. On my system I can achieve 12C using the lockshields with my boiler set at 50C. This keeps the efficiency of my boiler sitting at around 96%, as the flow from the return is well below the...

Range rating a boiler means adjusting its output to more closely match the heat requirements of a property, while on the other hand boiler modulation also reduces the output of the boiler to match the heat requirement of the property, as it gets close to its desired temperature. Range rating...

Owner of a new Ideal Vogue. Central heating still turned off. I have noticed when drawing hot water that the pressure gauge jumps from 1.1 bar to just over 1.2 bar before slowly descending over a period of time. The boiler was set to 1 bar when fitted 3 weeks ago but has slowly crept up to...

My new combi boiler is set for a hot water flow rate of 42C to avoid paying for HW only to add cold. 42C is a good compromise. For years now I have suffered from a variable shower temperature with the HW set at 60C so I have decided to bite the bullet and change the shower mixer bar. Looking...

So if my new boiler can modulate for load compensation why can it be range rated as well? As the boiler has an CH output of between 4.6Kw to 26kW, if the boiler was range rated would the minimum output also drop to mantain the ratio? I have worked out that my rads have an output of around 12Kw.

My neighbour from the adjoining road informed me that they were going to erect a “shed” in their back garden by my fence. What is being built is not a shed but a brick built cavity filled building with services. It sits around 0.3m from my fence and is just over 2.8m tall. I asked the foreign...

So next door is getting a garden makeover which involves levelling their garden by removing earth. They now have a perfectly flat garden but on my side this is what I have. Job not finished yet but their back garden fence now offers them no privacy as one end only comes up to my shoulders...

I am thinking about my next boiler, which will be an Ideal Vogue 32c Max and maybe Opentherm via Halo and whether I should get the Opentherm option and would it save any money and possibly cause a leak in my pressurised piping that has issues? At the moment my dumb thermostat on a Worcester...

I have measured my cold tap which has a flow rate of 11.8 litres a minute. The Baxi I am looking at comes with 12.2 Maximum DHW flow rate (Delta T @ 35'C rise) or 15 if I go for the bigger boiler. Is there any advantage in going for the higher capacity boiler as I assume it is not working...

Those with home theatres will often use a Logitech Harmony remote to control everything including smart home automation and lighting. I myself have been using the same remote control for around 10 years as it is the only way the family can get the TV, AV receiver and Sky Q to sinc up and then...

Has a hinged Perspex cover. It is located by a pavement on the highway

So in June 2018 I had a Trojancast Concert Reinforced P Shape Shower Bath delivered. Within a few months the side panel started to turn yellow. After around a year it was quite noticeable but I couldn't find the receipt nor could I remember where I bought it from. Today I found the order...

Turned the boiler on for heat for the first time since a boiler service which seemed more of a safety check and nothing else. Boiler took maybe 20 minutes to get from 37C to 65C with the temperature alternating between the temperature and the photo shown. Anyone got a theory why it took so...

Just thinking ahead to my next boiler, which will probably be a Baxi 800. On a Baxi to use OpenTherm using a Baxi uSense smart controller, the controller has to be hard wired to the boiler, which is no good for me. Looking at the Nest, it appears the hard wiring only goes to the Nest Heat Link...

Model RR82PDRS which is 9 years old. I have a 1.8m Samsung larder fridge which I had to empty and drag out for a boiler service. It was refilled and switched back on and then the following day it was switched off, emptied, put back and then refilled again. The fridge was kept upright during...
