Fix what you have, if you save £100 a year in gas with a new boiler, taking 16 years to pay for itself by than its seen the best of its days and will want changing again. Plus I doubt it will be perfect for all that time and will want money spent on as well. The whole buy new and save money is a...

Also if you have the stat in your living room and you are not removing the trvs than the trvs should be set to max so the room heats up as quickly as possible and shuts the boiler down. In an ideal world you would remove them but it might not be worth it for yourself.

I have my stat in the lounge now as it's where I spend 90% of my time and I don't use the fire alot. For the lay out of my home I didn't want it in the hallway as my lounge has a lot of windows and is the coolest room for me. So getting the hallway to 20c my lounge could be 17c and the heating...

A room stat should pay for itself in no time. What is the point of putting the heating on for an hour when you could be at a comfortable temperature in 30 minutes, a room stat will then turn the boiler off. Saving 30 minutes of wasted heat going round the bathroom radiator. assuming the electric...

I'm just wondering how the hell did he manage to get permission to build right up to the boundary!

It it works and does its job who cares. My fuse box I'm sure won't comply with current regs. But I works perfectly fine.

I know people who have it go to the nearest sink so that it doesn't keep freezing up. You would think it's better to have the drain away inside. I don't know the reason why so many have them outside, I belive the waste is slightly acidic, but can it be more harmful than the bleach and all the...

It might be number 1, I can't see where that flexible filling loop is going to, but like I say if nothing happens put the tap back to where it was and try the other.

The angle of the picture is awkward, but it looks like number 2 with the red tape on. You will know if you have turned the right one as you will hear water pushing through and the pressure going up. It takes very little time depending on your water pressure if you are just topping up boiler...

Oh and I better say make sure all power to the boiler is off before you start wiring,

Live and neutral you would normally piggy back those from the boiler. Where your white main cable goes to that aqua coloured plug, L & N... easy.. The white 24v Rt plug on your boiler you remove that red link wire, get some 2 core or 3 core heat flex wire, and wire them into the hive 2 & 3...

I would get a wet central heating if I didn't have access to gas. I've had storage heaters in the past and I hated them, trying to second guess if I'm going to be hot or cold tomorrow was a pain.

Do you have a separate hot water tank?

As a work around where your wall stat is you really want to turn the trvs to max so that room reaches temp quickly and turns the boiler off. Also trvs do not talk to the boiler they are very simple things. A trv will not turn the boiler on and off only the room stat will call for heat when the...

Also with you saying it's coming on when it shouldn't be makes me think it could possibly be a faulty frost thermostat in the boiler.

Seems experience, how many hours a day do you have the heating on for? Did you give a meter reading when you moved in and double check the meter serial numbers match the ones on the bill.

Your welcome David, hope you have got your set up sorted now.

You can put the display in any room you want, but the room you put it in you will have to make sure that the trvs in that room are set to max. Otherwise if you set your thermostat to 20c and your trvs are on low, the thermostat will be calling for heat from the boiler until that room reaches...

There shouldn't be any problems in doing it that way, I like to change mine every six months for no other reason than I like messaging about. I've done it by draining the system fully and adding it and just draining the one rad, though in my home the bathroom towel rail has a cap on the top...

I was just about to say the same thing madrab. Hopefully that's the part you need I'm shocked by the price though it's no wonder taps are becoming throw away and replace.
