    Glow worm boiler noise

    Does anyone know where I can find the decibel rating for the British Gas 330+ boiler? I'm looking to get it replaced and wanted to compare it against the Glow worm energy 18r or 25r boilers (18W or 25W) or does anyone have any experience of these two models in terms of how noisy they are?

    Glow Worm Micron 30FF Slight Yellowing Of Flame?

    I have a Glow Worm Micron 30FF and I cleaned the burner today. When I fired it up there was some slight yellowing of flames but is that normal? The other thing was the whole of the burner didn't light until I gently blew on the flames, I thought maybe this was due to the cover plate being off?
