Hello - I'm a newbie on the site, and I've seen that folk are pretty helpful so thought I'd make my first post. I bought a Nest 3G thermostat and am looking to have it installed. I'm getting quotes for £100 locally and want to see if I can do it myself first. I have already taken a look at...

Good afternoon, New to this place as a Google search finds me a few threads on the Main 30HE combi, so thought I'd try my luck.. New house with a Main 30HE Combi, 12 year old. Seller was adamant it still worked, much to my dismay things went wrong from there. Been here since end of May and we...

The issue; Boiler when power is on has the green water light on constantly (not flashing). Hot water works fine, fires up when taps turned on, pressure fine there also Pump can be heard continually pumping nothing after the water tap is off (not the usual 30 seconds or so before it normally...

Hi I have a precious boiler it seems, a Baxi Solo 3 PF 30. When calling for heat or hot water it will run fine for 15 minutes, and then it starts to cycle on and off at one minute intervals until the control stops calling. If I unclip the thermostat from the pipe it will run fine without...

Good evening all and apologies for what i can imagine is the millionth nest query but after trawling through the forum i couldnt find what i need.i have a brand new baxi duo tec 28.it has no manual timer, programmer or thermostat so i have bought a 3rd gen Nest thermostat. I am confused as to...

So every 4 years or so the mixing valve on our PowerMax 185 gives up and the only way to get a hot bath is to run the tap at a trickle. I've replaced it 3 times so far over the 17 years the boiler has been fitted, resolving the issue each time, and I've just bought the next one as the problem...

Hi, I’ve got a baxi 28he platinum in a rental property. Its got an old back rf timer/thermostat that not longer works correctly so the heating has a mind of its own. I’m looking to replace it with a hive (or similar) but I’m unsure if it’ll be compatible. Any suggestions or help would be good...

Afternoon All, I've been trawling threads and Google for help. We've recently had an extension built and a new boiler installed. On asking the plumber to install the Heat Link he stated not his job and on asking the electrician he stated the same. This went on until electrician agreed. Any how...

Hi all, I think this is be a fairly simple job but just want to make sure I'm doing what I think I should before I go ahead with it. I need to install a wireless Nest thermostat (so not connected directly to the boiler). I have a Baxi Duo-Tec 28 HE a combi. Currently I have a Salus wireless...

All, I have not long had a new Baxi Platinum 28 Combi ErP boiler fitted. All was working well bar a few pressure cut outs recently and also there is a noise coming either the boiler or the pipes / rads. I done some checking and the noise is a rattling, ticking / pinking noise. It seems most...

hi, firstly a bit of back ground. a couple of weeks ago the hot water pipe under our both blew off (due to the chap who fitted the bathroom before we bought the house not tightening a compression fitting properly) anyway this led to the hot water pumping out under the bath for around 20 mins...

I have an estimate to supply & fit a new Baxi Duotec 33 combi boiler to replace my old conventional boiler. I wonder if someone could have a look and let me know if this sounds fair? Drain and remove old boiler Alter pipework to suit Remove HW Cylinder Upgrade gas supply to 22mmm pipe Supply...

Hi all I've got a Hive 2nd Gen thermostat and I'm looking for a guide on how to wire it in. I currently have a simple wired timer, 2nd picture below. This doesnt have the live connections the hive system requires. So I'm planning on taking a feed from the spur for the live and neutral...

I'm having a nightmare trying to get the Hive unit I've got hold of working with the Baxi DuoTec 33 Combi Boiler I have at work. The Hive I have got has both the heating and water control buttons (so I believe it's the 2 channel one), but I believe despite this Hive unit being designed for...

Hi, we're currently having an extension built, and looking for some suggestions on the best options around boilers and showers please. The house is currently a 3 bed semi with one family bathroom (bath and shower), heated by a 30kW combi boiler. Our current combo boiler works fine but is...

Hi all, I'm at my wits end after a week of boiler woes. Last Sunday we noticed a smell of gas coming from the boiler when the heating came on. We immediately called the Gas Emergency Services and someone came very quickly and detected that there was indeed a leak from the boiler. He shut the...

Hi, first of all, great forum! Here's my situation. I have an old style (but fully working, serviced and reliable) gas central heating system, baxi boiler with hot water cylinder upstairs and a gravity fed tank in the loft. It has a danfoss set 5 programmer/controller. However the wall...

Hi, I've just moved into a property with a Baxi Combi 80e gas fired combi boiler. (http://www.baximarketing.co.uk/discontinued-literature/combi-boilers/Baxi-Combi-80e-105e-ins.pdf) Although this is quite an old and discontinued boiler and not the latest efficiency it does seem to work OK for...

Dear all, I currently have a Baxi back boiler connected to a Wickes RWB9.cw controller. The controller is a bit faulty and so I am after a new controller. (Even though I do need a new boiler!!) Can anyone advise which is the best sort of controller to use? The house has radiators with stats...
