    Valiant boiler and controller not working as expected

    I recently moved into a house that has a Valiant ecotec plus 415 boiler, gravity fed with an hot water tank. To get the boiler to heat the hot water I have to manually set the heating flow temperature (which is the central heating setting) on the boiler itself. The controller we have downstairs...

    Heating not working, maybe a thermostat problem.

    Hi all, My system is the older kind with a hot water tank (not the hot water heated on demand type). Hot water is working okay. All the heaters in the house have suddenly stopped working. I put my hand on the inlet pipe to all of the heaters and none of them feel warm. The main thermostat...

    Installing two radiators

    I have two radiators that I need to install in slightly different locations to the originals. The cheapest quote I have had is £1,150 with me supplying the rads myself, which is unaffordable so I want to explore doing the job myself. The flow and return are in concrete screed. I have excavated...

    Thermino Thermal Battery

    Hi, Looking for some advice, an installer came to give me a quote for solar panels and he brought up the subject of a heat pump too. I live in Scotland and apparently the grants only apply if you get both together, which is fine as my boiler is getting old anyway. He said something about the...

    Hi, I recently moved into a property and the Neomitis thermostat has absolutely no affect on the boiler, it is sync’d with the receiver and paired but whenever I turn up the heating on the thermostat the boiler does nothing. I have checked the wiring on the receiver and I’m sure this is...
