    The reason so many questions was that i was simply (ok maybe not so simply) trying to get a proper understanding how certain things work. It is really hard to communicate something when you dont really fully understand (but want to, hence the time spent researching etc). I know guys that...

    TRVs on Combi system - bypass? Drainoffs?

    I had a conversation with corgi technical a couple of by months back about the need to fit a bypass. I was informed by the tech guy that all systems must have a bypass fitted.

Turned out to be the differential pressure switch. If you watched the switch it took forever to make and forever to...

    leaving heating on 24/7 or timed...which is most economical

    Does anybody have any idea on the savings when using a timer as opposed to leaving the system on 24/7. I remember someone telling me that its cheaper to run a house with the heating on 24/7. I guess there is some sense in this theory...ie your hot water is already hot as is your home so they...
