Hi thanks for further info.... The room stat is in the living room. I could try to check to see if the LS has been opened too much. Come to think of it - the rad in our bedroom sounds as if the water is rushing in when it is on. If the pump is upstairs how open should the LS valves be...

Hi - The room stat is set at 25 degrees and the TRV downstairs are all opened fully. The hall rad doesnt have a TRV as this is the bypass rad and it has began to cool down when upstairs TRV's are set lower but gets piping hot when the upstairs TRVs are turned up. No need to be cheeky. Im...

Hi the system was balanced by British Gas but we've only just noticed this problem due to the cold snap The pump is on setting 2. We did try 1 bu this is not enough to heat the entire rads Is there anything else that it could be?

Hi folks, and so The problems with the GCH continue!! It's now cold and have the heating on more frequently. We noticed that when the trvs are turned down in all rooms upstairs the rads downstairs get warm but not piping hot? When the trvs in the rads upstairs are turned up to heat the rads...

Just reading through the forum and seem to have the same problems with my central heating system. The rads upstairs all tick and it is very frustrating. Did you manage to have the problem fixed. Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Guys, update - I had the gas company out today and to be fair they could not have been any more supportive :) They clarified that I did not have a blocked pipe but rather an air lock so there are no remedies required. This was my mistake. When they looked at the rads upstairs to see the...

Hi Terry - The rads dont go hot but you can hear water entering the rads which is strange to me. Unfortunately I cant afford to buy a new boiler as I just spent several thousand with the installation of the new Worcerster Bosch! I hate this new system but hind sight is a great thing!!

I've just sent the gas company an email to advise that I would like this looked into and will also call them too in the morning as I dont want problems with burst rads. Any idea why the rads take in water when only hot water is on? Excuse me if I am been silly but I assumed that the rads...

Hi Tony, I have absolutely no idea? But I will be asking this in the morning. When they went to fill it and it wouldn't fill he used an old hose pipe to blow through which obviously cleared the block. This whole replacing old GCH system has turned into a nightmare really!! As I have...

Thanks for your feedback I will contact the company first thing tomorrow morning. When you say "it will do harm to my system"...what like? Also do you have any feedback on why my radiators were filling with water when only hot water to the cylinder was required? Thanks

Hi Guys, These last few weeks I am experiencing some annoying issues with our new GCH system. Recently had new Worcester Bosh Greenstar Ri fitted (not combi boiler but conventional) and have issues!!! The system has a significant amount of air in it and I need to bleed every day and you would...

Hi Dan - All that was installed was a new pump and the system flushed. No new pipes under floorboards etc. There are no plastic rad clip as the radiators are 20 years old and only metal clips. Could you tell me where to get plastic rad clips that will prevent metal - metal contact?

Hi Folks, Thanks for everyones imput it is most appreciated. It most definately is not a problem with the installation as the central heating works great and the guys from BG have been great. I also too dont doubt that with the new pump it is circulating the water roud quicker. I...

Hi Dan - I tried turning the pump speed down to one and the rad that was switched off in our bedroom still ticks away?? As I say it is only the rads upstairs that have this problem nowhere else in the house. Is there anything else that I can try?

Hi folks, I am new to this forum and hope that some good person out there can stop me from being admitted to a mental asylum! I recently had a new Grundfos Alpha 2 pump fitted by British Gas and now all the rads upstairs tick and wake myself and family up once the GCH comes on. I called...
