    Glow Worm Fuelsaver 40B Mk2 Heat Exchanger Kettling

    I have an old Glow Worm Fuelsaver 40B Mk 2 installed on the kitchen wall. In November, the heat exchanger began making a kettling noise. It’s done this before. In the past, simply draining and refilling the system to flush out loose deposits was enough to stop the noise. In November 2021, I...

    choice from the experienced for oil fired 'heat only' boiler ?

    I don't work now due to being ancient. I looked at a 'Range cooker' fired on kero. It had a slow leak that turned into a bad leak in a month! It had a welded fabricated boiler. I've seen such heat exchangers leak within 7 years from new. No wonder the Potterton heating production manager said...

I know salesman LOVE it, as it is very convincing to homeowners, and since personal safety is implied, it's pretty much a "signed deal" for a new furnace. I believe I have so much evidence...

    Air source heat pumps in the news again

    I'm getting so sick of the media and tories plugging ashp's like they are the solution to all our heating needs. Latest news today, £5k grant towards the cost of replacing a gas boiler with an ashp. What a joke. Every ashp system I've worked on and installed runs the heating at 40 degrees...
