Landlord and the caretaker have been round. They don't see anything wrong. I asked them to bring a thermometer round if they had one to check the temp. They didn't do that. Instead on friday, the caretaker told me they went to an unoccupied flat down the hallway, turned the wall thermostat to...

the guy in tech support at NIBE said I can get all my other rooms warmer if I turn the wall thermostat in hallway all the way up and turn each room thermostat to a lower setting. He said the thermostat switches the heating on and off. All of the doors, including my front door, have gaps...

Thanks for your replies. It's an exhaust air heat pump with a 3kw immersion heater. I get my hot water and heating from this source. The place doesn't warm up. I've been told the temperature in the hallway (which is where the wall thermostat is), won't go above 24 degrees. I've ended up using...

Hi there I wish I could turn the flow temperature up. The boiler I have is a NIBE F205. The flow temp is 50 degrees if I remember rightly. I put the thermometer in the middle of each room. Just one outside wall. I have french doors in the living room and then a window in my bedroom. I...

thank you for the replies, everyone. Yep, same on all rads. Checked room temp with my thermometer when I had all trvs on the same setting - living room/kitchen area was at 15/16 degrees, bathroom at 17 and bedroom at 16. I had the wall thermostat in hallway set at 21 degrees.

Thanks :) I wish it was 30 degrees. It's about 16 :( I bought a thermometer to check the temperature.

Does anyone know what this setting is? Is it the highest setting? Thanks [/img]

Thanks, anyway. The plumber last came on Monday. It is now Wednesday and still no news from the plumber or the landlord for that matter. I spoke to the building manager who said he'd let me know as soon as he heard from either of them. The building manager and the plumber both said they don't...

I called NIBE today and the guy on the phone said something could be wrong with the expansion valve. He also said the low pressure could cause a rise in electricity consumption. They advised me to call the landlord again. The housing association have sent a plumber round twice, and they've not...

There isn't a red thing with a gauge on it. I'll see if i can find the thing outside tomorrow. I don't know if any of yoy sre familiar with Nibe boilers. They take excess heat from the air in your home and then convert it to heat water for your hot taps and heating. If there isnt excess...

Thanks. I live in a block of flats. I'm not on the ground floor so won't be able to get to the copper pipe. Two plumbers have been to say me in as many weeks. They can't figure out what's happening...

There is no leak. The boiler is on all day. It's a NIBE F205 so it has to be on all day. Pressure just keeps dropping. It never goes up. What's the PRV?

The pressure in my boiler keeps dropping - rapidly. Can go from 1 to 0 in about 24 hours. Can that cause the boiler to consume more electricity? Thanks

Hi, I've been in my home for a month. I'm out of the flat for 12 hours a day Mon- Fri. Have spent about 2 weekends in the flat. I don't leave lights on, things on standby etc. I'm very energy conscious. My electricity usage for the month? I've used 787 units. The only things that are on all...

meant to write about 5 minutes! I don't think my arms could take 15 mins - they're only small lol

All sorted. My friend went to DIY store and got me an Am tech plunger. A red corrugated one. Blockage cleared after about 15 mins of pumping. Thanks to all of those who left helpful replies!

thanks, Dan. The landlord doesn't actually have a key. I'll order a plunger online.
