Has anyone experienced false alarms with the Kidde FireX range? It's an KF20 with battery backup, and triggered all the alarms last night (interconnected system). I wasn't in but apparently, it drove my neighbours insane... Weather wise, it was fairly humid last night but not desperately so...

A house I'm looking at buying has the condensate pipe from the boiler (Bosch Greenstar something-or-other combi) running down into the garage, and then into a bucket. It wouldn't be impossible to have it drain correctly - not least because it's in the kitchen and I'm a bit puzzled that they...

Looking at buying a flat which has an antiquated Glow-worm boiler in the kitchen and a traditional tank in the airing cupboard. I'm negotiating with the owner about whether this needs replacing in the near future. [Apologies for appalling photo] Not sure what the water pressure* is like so...

Trying to figure out how air is entering into my heating system (unvented). It was drained down over the summer and refilled with inhibitor, so I'm fairly confident that it's not corrosion. The expansion vessel is fine. Is it possible that the automatic air vent (Flamco Flex Vent) is letting...

A search throws up a lot of threads about cutting mitre joints but I'm hoping for a couple of tips on specific technique. I'm planning to tile around two external corners (kitchen window) with these brick-effect tiles (http://www.tilemountain.co.uk/muralla-beige-brick-wall-tile.html). My...

Hi everyone, I've just changed a leaking radiator and had to drain my unvented system to do it. The only other change I made was to reset the expansion vessel pressure to 1 bar (it had no water in it so presumably the diaphragm is intact, but the pressure was almost zero). When off the system...

I've just moved home (it's new build but I'm second owner) and come into possession of an unvented hot water system. There's a wiring guide included with the book of manuals and a quick look inside the wiring centre suggests it's been adhered to. However, it appears to be an unsafe...

Will this end in tears? Only cable between boiler (Glow Worm Flexicom sx) and wiring centre is a 5 core currently carrying 230v L, R, N, spare and earth. Looking to change to SWC2 and ClimaPro2 RF with the outdoor sensor. I'd like to repurpose the R and spare as 24V eBus but not entirely...
