Thanks for the replys, the air baffle was set by the installer at the time of commissoning. From the manual it looks as if the air baffle can be set to give either following outputs 12-15kw and 18kw depending on how the baffle is placed within the unit. Now it looks to me as if the baffle...

Yeah rads get hot, house warm, just wasnt sure if the cycling was normal for this boiler. Air baffle was also set for a 18kw setting so this has been adjusted to match the lower heat output required.

Just had a Worcester Camry Greenstar 12/18 condensing oil boiler fitted as a replacement for a turco 2000 non condensing boiler that broke. The boiler runs for 2 minutes then shuts off for 6 minutes and then repeats this cycle, have bled the system and balanced the rads, the boiler output has...

Thanks simond, yes looks like my calculations are right. Unfortunately I live on an island on the west coast of Scotland and will have to get a local engineer to fit the boiler, no Worcester bosch engineers up here. No problem as we have plenty of good tradesmen, unless any approved guys...

Thanks for the reply Dan. Its a bit daunting thinking about downsizing when the existing boiler was 21-26kw rated. I guess it was over-sized when the property was built (not by me!), must have been costing me a bit in oil over the years :roll:

Hi, I have to replace my conventional oil boiler asap. Its a Turco 2000 70/90 which I think is 21-26kw. I was going to replace with a new boiler with the same output but have been calculating the heat demand required using a couple of whole house boiler sizing calculators like the one linked...

So the old oil boiler has decided to shuffle off the mortal coil this morning, at least it made the winter, and has now left me with a potentially hefty bill to replace. It has done a good job and have no issues with the sizing of the boiler for the property (4 bed semi detached) It is a...

Hi, The overflow pipe outside my house is running constantly. I have an unvented water tank and heating system, its a titan flowmaster 210l tank, the whole system is about 12 years old There seems to be a constant feed of cold water entering the water tank, this is increasing the pressure...

Well here's the thing, the tank is 9 years old, but it came with a 10 year warranty. I know its towards the end of the warranty period but is this not the reason a warranty is offered by a manufacturer in the first place? I feel that there hoping I take the first offer and run.

Hi, My Titan lp1200 tank has developed cracks along the mid-line, I phoned kingspan who manufacture the tanks, and the tank is still under warranty. After a few days they have offered to supply a new tank free of charge, but they say that I will have to get it installed at my own...

Hi Got a Titan LP1200 oil tank but no gauge to measure the level of the tank. Oil supplier charges a fine if he cant get the minimum order of 500 litres in on delivery,and I need to get the tank full before the weather sets in, dont want to have to fill up in the middle of January...

Hi, The last 2 feet of my mains water supply pipe comes up out of the grond and then enters the house through the external wall and into the utility room. This section of the pipe is uninsulated and is completly open to the elements which cannot be a good thing. It has never frozen before...

Cheers for the help, have contacted my water supplier (Scottish Water) and they are going to send out their leakage team to determin the problem and mark off any leaks with thier equipment. The problem stemmed from a loss of pressure in my village with a loss of 70 cubic meters of water...

Hi Have got a leak somewhere in my water supply pipe to the house, is there any way of locating the leak without having to dig up the whole pipe by hand and my neighbours patio. Also is it ok to just repair the damaged section of pipe,or replace the whole thing. Cant find any sign of the...
