Wow thanks for the info. we aren't having a new boiler as yet, but all this is really helpful. Thank you

Thanks guys Isolation valves have been fitted through out the central heating circuit - most annoying! What would you replace with? A coupler joint? or solder in another piece of pipe? Some of the valves are in a very difficult location under the ground floor - only accessible by a small void...

Hi Everybody I am hoping for some general advice after receiving a quote for lots of work to improve our central heating system. After much research into possible issues, we have got to adjust lots of the pipework in our airing cupboard and loft (as shown on a previous post) as we are currently...

I can't remember exactly. Something like 60 and 70. The left hand should be the flow and the right the return. I have ordered myself a radiator balancing thermometer so can check it myself soon. I am almost convinced that the bypass is open and returning the water before it has a chance to get...

The guy who thermal imaged the rads also measured the temp difference between the flow and return on the boiler and it was only 10 degrees. Does that help to determine what the pipes are doing?

Thanks again for your responses. The bottom of the header tank is about 1.5 -2 meters away from the pump. It's not directly above but slightly off to the right as it has all been wedged into a tiny space in the eaves of the second floor and the header runs up the roof line into the tiny roof...

Thanks for your reply. Do you think your suggested changes would fix the issues with the header tank? I am still wondering if there is anything else stopping the flow getting down to the ground floor. Do you think a balancing valve on the HW cylinder and making sure the bypass is shut would...

Hi There I have had ongoing issues with my central heating since moving in 18 months ago. The main issue was the ground floor rads being luke warm at best - particularly when the HW was on. Balancing didn't really help much! Since Christmas we have been having boiler lock out issues that are...

Pipework

Hi I have recently moved to a new house. It is a Victorian 4 bedroom home over 3 floors (bedroom and bathroom in the loft space). The boiler seems to be taking a long time to heat our ground floor. Until recently it was taking 20-25 mins for the ground floor rads to start getting warm. We...
