boiler

Last week I had a new boiler fitted. Its external and no controller fitted yet so I have to switch on/off at wall.. whenever I adjust TRV I can hear the water flying through the rads... not the bubbling noise of air just a loud whooshing noise... this didn't happen with old boiler but this one...

Hi I have a Gloworm 30CI which has been in the house since we bought it in 2007. I have repaired and replaced the filler cap and the odd o-ring and it's generally given us very good service. It started leaking one day from what seems to be right at the back on the left side of the pump, I have...

Finally decided to get a new boiler fitted - going for an external combi boiler. Old boiler/pipework was fitted in 2005. Plumber attended today to power flush prior to fitting the boiler tomorrow. He said the water wasn't too bad, a greyish color. He was here for around 90 mins and as far as I...

Hi all, Sorry to add another thread but I’m looking for some help. I have installed a hive v3 water and heating replacing my old st699. This was prompted by removing the old thermostat that I thought wasnt working and doing nothing to find it was infact setting the heat of the house and plunged...

I'm looking to create a cupboard around my kitchen combi boiler. Is it safe to cover all 5 sides? Or do the top or bottom have to be left exposed? Also, is there any issue in trying to line the cupboard with some sort of soundproofing material? Thanks for any input.

Hi Folks, I can’t see that anyone has answered this anywhere else… Plumbers are coming next week to fit new boiler and nest thermostats, Replacing a pair of oldish wireless ones. I have asked for the the thermostats to be wired in rather than wireless, which they are happy to do as long as...

Exploratory Topic. Interesting scenario. Main combi 25 Eco. Air in rads - so bled. CH circuit topped up - BUT forgot to reisolate @ fill loop! Boiler had mains fill loop left open for about a month. Presure Dial on boiler showed close to 2/2.5 bar before problem was discovered. Boiler was...

Awoke this morning to a cold house and a Glowworm Energy 30S boiler showing an F75 error code which would indicate a pressure or pressure sensor issue. When I restart the boiler the pressure shows 0.6b for about 30 seconds before going into error, one video online implied it would show 1.5b as...

Hi, I got a plumber round to change the pipes for 3 radiators to one. They aren't quite in the right place but luckily there is some give so at a stretch we can make it work when we install the radiator. He quoted to do this and install Hive for £160. Seemed like a nice guy until he broke the...

I have purchased a smart thermostat from Amazon, I currently have a danfross (tp5000 I believe) Im looking for advice on the wiring or if it can/can’t be done.

Looking to open up a discussion - purely to learn / discover something new. The point of this thread is to explore the topic. When a Plate Heat Exchanger (PHEx) is blocked - one obvious option is to clean out the unit (spirit of salts etc) & then refit. What are members thoughts about...

Hi I would like to install 2 nest thermostats to replace the 2 thermostats I currently have in my home. My boiler is an Ideal Logic ES38 and it's controlled by 2 Honeywell CM707 thermostats. One for upstairs and one down. I've watched loads of videos and read tons and seems pretty...

Main Combi 25 Eco There is no system filter. 3 rads - whole install (pipes & rads) were new at the time. About 8 yrs old. Hard water area. Central heating can be on for hours - no real issue. But, If I then turn thermostat off - as I am going to have a shower - and turn the shower on (hot) -...

Hi, last night our central heating system seems to have developed a problem. Our boiler is an Ideal Logic 15. It appears that the thermostat is working fine (?) but somehow the boiler thinks there is a constant demand to supply heating. For example, thermostat currently at 20c and the flame...

Hello everyone, My home has a BAXI DUO-TEC COMBI 24 HE. The radiators won't heat up even though the boiler is showing a green light saying they are running. The hot water is still working though. I've tried bleeding radiators and then pressurising the boiler after but I still have the same...

Less than a year now. Got new plumbing system with Atag I40s system boiler with unvented cylinder 210l. Compared to the previous old vented system the gas bill seems to have double out. Plumber set up hotwater to 65° and heating to 70° Can you please advise if the hotwater can be keep lower...

My boiler was fitted about 4 years ago. Its a Valliant Ecotec32 and was installed on the outside wall of my garage. I've demolished the garage now and a new one has been built. The flow, DHW and cold inlet pipes are all back in place and the gas pipe is about 1 meter away in 22mm. The pipes...

Hello, I have recently moved into a property with the thermostatic controls shown attached. I am currently able to switch the heating on continuous which is fine for now. However unsure of how the clock works and if it does work? Also the boiler seems to heat up the two radiators downstairs...

Hi All, Looking for some advice please! Not sure if this could be a DIY Home fix or if I need to call an engineer. I have a Vaillant Ecotec Plus 418, which appears fine on the hot water side and is able to maintain temperature however when I call for heating, initially it seems to go for a...
