combi boiler

Hi, I have an unusual question. When I switch on my hot tap, am I right in assuming that the hot water will be delivered solely to my hot tap? even though the path of the hot water may pass through multiple tee’s on the way (which will have cooled water at their other connections). I expect the...

Last year I had a new combi boiler installed alongside the Drayton Wiser smart hub system. This is the boiler: Ideal Logic Combi Boiler This is the controller system: Drayton Wiser Kit 1 I didn't know at the the time that the installer could wire it NOT using the OpenTherm module. I want to...

The furthest radiator from my boiler is a 160cm x 50cm Type 22 in my living room. It has always been set as the bypass, but this isn't ideal. The living room can overheat, whilst the kitchen is cold. The obvious answer would be to set a lower temperature on the TRV in the living room, but this...

I'm currently in the process of insulating my garage (cold roof). I'll be using a Moll Intello vapour control membrane after the insulation and before battens and plasterboard. The boiler is currently located on the brick wall and as such can't be wrapped (sealed) with the membrane. Is it...

Thought I'd clean out magnaclean filter on my combo boiler (intergas rapid+ 32Kw) Was a complete new install 3 years ago. The system had inhibitor and from what I remember a biocide for the UFH. There was hardly any crud on the magnet, but the grey strainer was slightly green stained bit like...

Hi All, I've got a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30Si combi boiler and I'm trying to replace the room thermostat which has a faulty display. The faulty thermostat is a DT10RF optimiser which is discontinued so I purchased a Comfort 2 RF which is supposed to be the equivalent replacement. It...

Hi, I've recently moved into a new home, which has a combi boiler (my first one) and it's a Worcester 532/i. Everything is working correctly, in that I can make the heating come on if I need it, and there's hot water in the taps. The problem is, it's always making a noise even when the heating...

Hi, I've got a combi boiler. I was thinking of turning down the temperature of the heating on the boiler (i.e. on the boiler itself not the temperature on the thermostat). Reading up on this it sounds like setting this as low as possible is the best option in terms of reducing gas usage - to try...

I have an old Worcester Bosch Greenstart HE plus combi boiler. 3 months ago the shower, which has been working perfectly for last 5 years, would start off at correct temperature and then after about 2 minutes would run cold. Just as it was running cold I heard the boiler fire up and after...

So I just had the heating system drained by a plumber to replace a UFH mixer valve, he filled it back up and left in a hurry. I ran the heating to see if it worked OK and noticed all the radiators upstairs were only half full. I turned the heating off and bled them. I tried running the heating...

I need to upgrade my smoke alarms as a result of the new legislation in Scotland. I live in a three bedroom end terrace house with hall stairs and upper landing. My Combi boiler is in the cupboard under the stairs. My understanding is that I need linked alarms with one in the living room, one...

I've been advised from another forum that diynot forum would be more suitable.... We moved into our new build home last September. Last week I discovered the combi boiler's first service was due 21st June, so in order not to have any issues with the two year guarantee, I booked a gas engineer...

Hi all, I want to replace my current thermostat (pictures below) with the Nest Thermostat, but wire labels don't match. My boiler is Worcester Greenstar 24i Junior combi boiler, which is on the back of the wall where the thermostat is. Any help is massively appreciated on how to set it...

Hi, We’ve had an issue with the boiler losing pressure that needs refilling once a week. We’ve had 3 different leak detection companies and they could never find a leak. We’ve had multiple boiler engineers and they can never find an issue with the boiler. Recently, a gas engineer suggested...

Hi, I currently have a combi boiler which drops flow rate when a second tap is turned on. I'm also looking to add a second shower. The flow rate i have is 12 ltr per min and i cannot install a blue pipe because a i have a shared mains with the neighbour. I have a couple questions: If i place...

Hi there, First of all, thank you for your time. I'm looking at replacing my Honeywell T40 thermostat which serves pretty much as an on and off function on my home heating, I've a combi Vaillant boiler and the thermostat is wired to 1 (red cable) and 3 (orange cable) terminals, using the...

Hi, I'm hoping from some sage advice, from you lovely people. I have a Valiant Ecotherm 832 Combi boiler that was put in about 4 years ago. I'd just moved in, and the place had an old oil boiler that sounded like a jet engine, and an uninsulated hot water tank that was taking up tons of room...

Hello, I'm using a Dual Hive for Combi (I'm using this and not single because it got it soooo cheap ). I have researched as much as i can, before asking. Have I set this up correctly ? Hive = Boiler Earth = Earth N =Blue L = 230v Live Out 4: Heating On (NO) = 1 References used ...

Hoping for some advice. I need to remove the plate heat exchanger on my combi boiler to clean it. I've switched off the power to the boiler, closed off the valves and drained it using a hose and checked the pressure is on 0. However, when I start unscrewing the screws that hold it in place I am...

Hi, I have a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 35CDi combi boiler running on LPG. This works very well providing both hot water and central heating. I have recently installed a PV solar/battery system and expect to have more electrical power than I need for about 8 months of the year. I am looking at...
