Hi, I was wondering if you could help me. I have a homecare400 policy with British Gas (BG). Last week a BG engineer came to the house to have a look at a plinth heater (as it was not working). While in the property he was running up and down (i.e. loft, airing cupboard ect.) checking the CH...

Hi Tony, I am keen to learn these things...I really am. I know what the numbers mean (on a fuse) and what they are for... I was just surprised that sbody would put a different one (a higher one!) so wanted to check.

Ok, I have just checked... I have the first iso valves from the picture above and they are opened (as shown on the picture). Assuming there is a blockage...how can I solve it?

Thank you for this.... I am going to check it now... Will revert back in a bit

Hi Tony, Thank you for your reply. I do not know, as I moved in to the property at the end of November 2012 and just recently found the heater out. I was not familiar with it before, so did not know what it was at first. which valves do you mean? Where do I find them? As far as I can...

Hi, I have just maneged to bleed it. The water was cristal clear and it was coming out warm (ish) not hot despite the fact that the CH has been on for several hours now :(

Thank you for the reply. I will bleed it today. Where do I find the isolation valves and how can I open them?

Hi, Do the pipes connected to the heater have to be hot for the heater to work? I am asking, as I have the CH on, other radiators OFF in the house and the heater doea not seem to start off (the pipes are warm NOT hot).

Hi, Thank you for your replies.

Hi, I hope someone can help/advice me. I have recently discovered a plinth heater (Smiths SS5 MK4) in the kitchen. I have recently moved to the property so I am still discovering things! I feel silly, as I have been cold all those month without knowing about it.... Anyway, the...

Thank you for this. I will give it a go tonight. Is there another way of checking if there is a leak rather than tilting it?

It goes like this: I set the programme (half load & 30 degree wash) and turn the dishwasher on. I then close the door and I hear a gentle noice (like the machine is on, I could compare it to a motor bike's gentle sound) The water is not being taken.... during this sound. I hope this...

Hi, I hope somebody will be able to advise me. I have a Lamona Dishwasher (HJA 8640) made by Beco. It worked fine last week. However, today when I turned it on it did not work. It only makes a noice and it does not take any water. Does anywone know what the possible problem(s) might be...

Hi Everyone, I would appreciate your advice. The property (detached 3 bed) that I have moved recently has Thorn Olimpic 38/50B boiler. I have recently been told that it is a rather old boiler, so I am thinking of replacing it for something more efficient. I am not an expert in the...

Thank you, joe-90. Thank you for that. How can I check this is the manufacturing setting? Good point well made. I just thought it would be nice to know that in case I do want to change it. Three more questions... I hope that is OK. Question 1. Where do I ding (a) internal...

Hi (again), I just want to say BIG thank you for all your help/suggestions re my alarm system. It has been sorted out yesterday (for a very good price!). You were all right saying it would not take long to repare the Tamper light. I have now managed to study both the installation manual and...

Thank you for the reply. I have now learned something about my central hearing... which is FAB! Thank you....Now I need to choose the programmer...which looks like not so easy job! :-( Once again, thanks for all your responses.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. It is much appreciated. Regarding “doitall’s” response. I am so sorry but I do not know if the system is fully pumped, gravity hot water ect. I am not an expert in this area, but I am keen to learn. So, where do I look to find this out...
