Hello all,
New here so please forgive my ignorance. I have a Main 24 HE combi boiler and it’s playing silly bugg*rs. When given power it runs constantly, providing both heating and DHW. We have to turn it off at the selector switch when we don’t want heating/hot water otherwise it just burns...

Hi,

I set the boiler DHW temperature to a high setting. I was...
My parents house has a wood burning stove that is also connected to the central heating ( they have radiators and used to have an old boiler which they took out and replaced with the wood burner ) so the wood burner can also heat water which can then be pumped round the rads and works fine when...
I wish to thank the boiler guy for disconnecting Hive for me from the combi boiler. You did a wonderful job of cutting off the heating bit, so now I cannot heat the house but still have lovely hot water coming out of the taps, So luckily I have moved my 76-year-old father out of the house. Turns...

Hello, I have a Vaillant Ecotec combi boiler. The flue pipe extension has started to leak at one of the joints. The internal plastic connection pipe appears to be intact. It still drips when there isn't a demand for the boiler.
I've attached some pictures and moved the joint strap to see...
hi all,
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but within the usual scenario of a combi boiler in a house configured to provide central heating and hot water for bath/kitchen is it possible to shut down the central heating but continue providing hot water to services?
Many thanks. P
I'm looking for a heating engineers/old school plumber to put in a Combi boiler (possibly Intergas) replacing very old open vent system in parallel with a wood burning stove with a back boiler (ESSE Bakeheart) as back up and alternative.

Recently the central heating pressure kept dropping in my baxi combi boiler, I topped it up yesterday evening and this morning in needed topping up again. I noticed a small leak from what appears to be a valve on top of the water pump. Looks like it's a screw and maybe if I tighten it it will...
My son has just got his first flat and want to install "Hive" heating control. I've done this a couple of time with an external controllers but the fact the wirings all internal has made me wary of doing it my self.

Ta!
Hi everyone. I'm in the process of deciding if to switch from a traditional boiler to combi. One thing that is irrationally worrying me is if kids leave hot water taps running. Would that mean the boiler (if it was 30kwh boiler) would be running full pelt and using 30kwh gas every hour? Want...
Hi all,
I really hope someone can help me because it is causing so much worry!
I bought my house 3 years ago and didn’t know at the time that the boiler was venting out against regs into our neighbours driveway. Our house has a garage conversion so is right up to the boundary line, and the...
I notice last night my boiler cupboard was really hot from the hot water pipe, but my husband had just had a shower. This morning it was still hot when we first got up and we noticed the tap symbol was flashing. This is supposed to flash when using the hot water. We've tried turning off...
I have a end terraced house. Boiler attached to concrete wall on the end of the terrace. There’s a copper pipe curved into the wall with maybe a 1-2cm gap. The water sometimes leaks onto the wall and I’m worried about the damage it might cause. The kitchen drains are on the other side so would...
