So reducing the max flow temperature setting on the boiler is what is being suggested ? I can see that would effectively take longer to warm the house than the current default temp of, 75 I think. Therefore keeping the boiler running lower output for longer periods of time to maintain the room...

The boiler size calculator gives me a figure of 5.77 or 6.77 depending on whether I consider one outside wall against an insulated garage or not. So a figure of 4.77 taking the larger requirement and deducting the 2kw. Fortunately my brother is at my house dropping something off, so he was...

Sorry guys I'm at work at the moment & haven't worked out exactly the radiator output. But roughly theres five doubles, two singles and a full height towel rail. When the system was powered up they checked that all the radiators heated up equally - I'm not sure if this constitutes acceptable...

The old boiler was a biasi riva 28s compact it worked quite well with the honeywell controller, which seems to be a decent controller in it's own right. The new boiler is over sized in relation to the amount of radiators, but was chosen for the water flow rate - which was poor with the biasi...

Well thanks for all your comments, even the ones that seem to be only to disagree. This isn't my trade but I've been asking a Dutch heating engineer who works in my building, he works on commercial systems but he does have some domestic experience. He seems to think it's less than ideal we...

Our main problem is that although the room stat states 21c as does a thermometer in each room - that there are cold spots or the room is perceived to be chilly. We also have just had a condensing boiler fitted - so we'd also like to control it in a way where we get the most out of it. An...

We've done that - it can clip off of the wall & be put on a stand in the living room. - doesn't make any difference. The hallway radiator is the only one without a trv & seems a sensible place to set the temperature. We then reduce the rtv's in each room that needs it to get an even temperature...

We have just had a Remeha 35c installed and it was connected to our existing Honeywell cm927 stat, that previously controlled an old Biasi boiler. The boilers fine - plenty of hot water hot radiators, no problem there. We do notice that the house gets, I won't say cold, but chilly. The stat...

The faults diagnosed were the htg/hw thermistor giving erratic results & low water or not maintaining water pressure. The symptoms I'm seeing are the boiler shutting down & re-igniting under hw, can't be certain what it's doing just under heating load, but I have noticed it cutting out when...

We were charged for that diagnosis, £78 & there was no dismantling of anything, just temp & electric probes used on the workings.

I have a biasi riva compact m90e.28s - it keeps cutting out then re-igniting. I've had someone look at it and when tested he got erratic results from the htg/hw thermistor. Also the pressure keeps dropping - he filled it up to around 3 bar whereby water started coming out of a pipe out the...

Can anyone recommend using Jacksons fence panels. Doing a comparison at the moment they seem to be working out cheaper than many others for 21 closeboard panels, straight & concave, with slotted posts & gravel boards. There's a cheaper local supplier that I've visited, but the quality of...

I have a suspended timber floor - onto which is being laid an engineered wood floor, probably one of the 15mm deep types and the skirtings are being fitted after the floor is laid. Under the floor is quite a deep void and I am considering laying rigid foam insulation between the joists whilst...

I have a Bosch Excel 1200, quite a few years old. Tablets placed in the drawer are not always dissolving and partially remain in the drawer, the same occurs if they are placed in the drum. The water is heating up - the flow into the drawer seems fine, sometimes pouring a bit of water through...

Just to follow up I have replaced all of the old internal pipework from the mains - which was an old lead pipe. I now have over 20 l/m flow rate - tested using a flow cup measure from the outside tap at the back of the house. All taps etc are noticeably better and with our old boiler I can't...

Yup that would be 9l/min - tested from outside tap at back of house - so it could be the internal pipes effecting that. It's a mains feed from Thames Water & I'll be under the floorboards this weekend so I'll check what the mains pipe is exactly. If we do need to replace an old incoming mains...

I am going to install a wired alarm into a 3 bed house. The floors are up so I have easy access everywhere at the moment. Can anyone advise which are some of the best brands around at the moment.

I have a mains pressure of about 5 bar but only 9L/SEc flow rate. I had this tested as I wanted a new boiler installed with a greater flow rate, but that would seem pointless unless I improve the incoming mains. Thames water have pointed me at their developer services & these guys want £235...

I have a Karcher pressure washer K2.94 - after using it for an extended period it has started cutting shutting down for a while before coming back on. You can hear it make a noise and its available for use. It only operates for a minute or two now before shutting down for around 5 minutes...

Oh the mdf is for some pipes I have boxed in in the same room - unrelated to the stairs. Thanks for the reply Zampa
