    Electric underfloor heating with engineered wooden floors

    Hello I'm moving to a new flat, modern purpose built block with concrete floors and carpets. I want to replace the carpets with floating engineered wooden floors but I also want to install electric underfloor heating (for comfort only, the main heating is gas + radiators). So we are looking...

    Humidity in the flat

    Hello I have a question regarding what impacts humidity in a flat (excluding the sources of humidity such as people, cooking, showering). I was wondering if it's the type of construction or location that mostly drives humidity, as I have been tracking humidity over my last 3 flats in London...

    Understanding hot water cylinder recovery times

    I will probably want to replace both boiler and cylinder. They're both from 1999. The boiler more likely because it's on a kitchen wall that I want to remove, so I might as well replace it. The cylinder is in a cupboard I might want to replace it depending on its shape and condition. So my...

    Understanding hot water cylinder recovery times

    I'm not sure if it's 210 or 170 I need to go back and check the exact model number. We like to have strong power showers. Where we live now we have a nice strong shower and we timed it at around 14 litres per minute. That's what we'd like to have. But if you are saying that the cylinder...

    Combi boiler working on 30s on/off cycles

    It's a Vaillant, but there's no model or any other markings on it, there's no booklet in the flat... I googled around and from the pictures it looks like a Turbomax Pro. I noticed now when the boiler was fired that the hot water out was going out at 55c or so and coming back in at 45c. The...

    Combi boiler working on 30s on/off cycles

    Hello I recently moved to a new rented flat, with a combi boiler. So far we only used it for hot water and it has been working very well, strong hot shower pressure. However it's been very cold the last few days so I decided to turn the central heating on. Pressure looks ok at 1 bar, no...

    Flue compatibility - old boiler vs new condensing boiler

    Dear All I am looking for a flat to buy here in London. The flat I looked at had an old Ideal Classic FF250 boiler installed in 1995 connected to an unvented hot water cylinder. They both look in bad shape and probably could use a refresh. If I buy this flat I would like to replace with a...
