    Boilers and Powerflush - a one time deal ?

    Is there a "typical" interval for doing a powerflush? Reason for asking is that it was mentioned on a recent visit by "ServeHome". I couldn't swear to it, but I'm sure that when it was done previously I was told that I only needed it to be done once. History: All in 2009. New Boiler...

    Gas boilers scrapped by 2050?

    Just heard on the news about the Uk's ambitious climate change targets, of which one of them was to scrap gas boilers by 2050. On one hand its 30 years into the distant future but on the other there's still the question of system design, as I understand it new boilers, air source for example...

    Boilers that allow air intake 150mm from opening

    I know some boiler manufactors allow the flues air in-take to exit as close as 150mm to an opening in a building. As long as you put a plume kit to get the products of combustion at lest 300mm away from the opening. Does anyone know which manufacturers allow this? I usually fit Ideals but as far...

    What to do with good condition 2nd hand boilers

    I have just taken out a vailliant ecotec plus which is 10yrs old and has nothing wrong with it. The guy had just moved in and wanted everything new. Seems a shame to give it the travellers.

    Boilers with limited/no spares

    Morning all, I rarely come across boilers for which i can not get spares. My region seems to be full of Pottertons and Worcesters. I occasionally come across a boiler where there are no spares or they are hard to easily get hold of. Regardless of what British Gas or Homeserve say... I thought...

    Heat only boilers and confusion

    Trying to get to grips with all the terminology here and what can be done with what. Heat only = open vent boiler? I suppose nothing stops me from sealing it up and sticking an expansion vessel to it? This is the same as a system boiler then? Is it cheaper then to buy a system boiler instead of...

    Experience with vokera lineal boilers

    Anyone had much experience with Vokera lineal boilers? I had a call about one that's turning off every 30 seconds then re-lighting for 30 and carrying on in this sequence no fault lights present on the boiler. Is this likely gas valve releated?

    This 2025 ban on gas boilers in new builds.....

    Sorry if this has already been covered but how badly do you guys (and gals) think this will affect the gas industry in terms of work, wages etc? Some of my mates aren't overly worried, some are. 50/50 split I would say.

    Storage combi boilers

    Hi, I'm looking for opinions on storage combi boilers - particularly the viessmann 111-w. We currently have a gravity fed system but the space where the cylinder is is needed for internal renovations. Would this be a good solution - ie better than a standard combi in terms of hot water...
