Hi folks,
I assume this has been asked many a times, so I do apologise in advance. My boiler which is only 6 months old started to lose pressure in March. My plumber applied 2 bottles of Fernox F4 express sealer and it seemed to fix it. It has again started to lose pressure, not drastically...
Hi,
We are planning to replace a 50-year old boiler for the communal heating-only (no hot water) of a residential block of 12 flats with 60 radiators. We have an open vent system. Our heating engineer recommends the GB162 100KW, WITHOUT a plate heat exchanger, because he says that heat...
Hi all
I've had a Baxi 836 installed about a month ago. After about a fortnight it started to rumble for a few seconds on start up and also shutdown when the heating fires up, it doesn't do it for hot water. The installer says its just the diverter switching from its default position. The boiler...
Hi everyone,
Hopefully someone can help advise.
I recently moved into a barn which uses a 15KW electric tank to do all the heating and hot water. I would like to replace this with a gas boiler.
Gas was not available in 2016 when the barn was converted, but now new gas mains are being laid up...
Hi
I had a new boiler installed and wondered if you think this is acceptable workmanship.
Looks like they started to drill a hole at the front and then had to move down.
Thanks for your input.
Had three quotes for a new boiler and UV cylinder. All quotes are very similar in price (only about £200 difference between the most expensive and the cheapest). They are all accredited installers meaning we should get the maximum guarantee. So it will probably come down to which is the...
Hey, this is my first post... so currently i am doing my house up and have no heating, pipes or radiators in the house, so its a blank canvas and i am almost at the stage for pipes and electrics to be fitted etc and I need to buy a new boiler but I don't know what make, model, power or type of...
Hi all,
Looking for some advice on a new Valiant Ecotec Plus 615 boiler, fitted a few weeks ago. It makes an on/off vibration shown in the video link below, and is loud enough for me to hear easily in the living room (I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and my boiler is in the bedroom). Our old...
Hi, I'm having a new boiler installed as part of grant scheme in a few weeks' time. My GCH stopped working about 7 years ago and I couldn't afford to keep fixing it - at the time my boiler was only about 3 years old, but was told after about 3 fixes that it was sludged up and needed a power...
Hi All,
I've been asked to quote to replace a central heating boiler in a block of flats, the current system is a 50kW boiler on a timer and the occupants of the flats use Trv's to adjust the temperature in their flats so there is currently not a single thermostat in the building.
To comply with...
Not sure if I have the right forum but looking as a homeowner for a bit of advice.
Having a new combi installed, old boiler no condensate, got some quotes. One quote will remove kitchen units and under the counter fridge put in condensate pipe run for 8 ft about the through wall to outside...
I have a house heated by Underfloor Heating .... and the source is a Baxi Barcelona (set to 29KW), pumped primaries go direct to a pressurised Thermal Store.
Control to the boiler is simple - 240VAC supply when Thermal store calls for heat, boiler burn, modulation as it decides.
No timer or...
Does anyone carry out a CP12 on a boiler replacement in a private non rented property ? We are thinking of doing them to cover ourselves. Any comments would be welcomed
Hello - I recently got a new Worcester Greenstar 30i 30kW Combi Boiler 7733600005 installed in my property. Previously I had a 37KW combi boiler but that was 10 years old. But my plumber said that 30KW combi boiler should be more than enoguh.
The day this was installed, I also had my water...
I need a G3 qualified Heating Engineer to supply and install a new Vaillant 32kw ecotec central heating boiler with Green iQ system Vaillant smart heating control. Building has two bathrooms and one shower room and I want to increase ensuite facilities to four other rooms at a later date...
Can anyone tell me if its OK to connect a new heat only Vaillant to an old Elson tank. Not seen the job so not sure where the feed goes into the system. They currently have an old Apollo boiler working with it
I installed my central heating 40 years ago as a DIY project and it has worked well. I have a Potterton NeataHeat 16/22 with a Y plan control. A week ago I had a leak onto my kitchen ceiling (new ceiling a year ago) which needed me to cut a 6 foot long slot in it to replace a length of copper...
Hi all,
25 year old boiler need replacing.
Existing boiler, 220 kW doing Aged Care Facility.
I want to install a condensing boiler, but are worried about not being able to clean the system efficiently to not cause damage to the new boiler and void warranty.
The best option I can see is to have...
We have a job to replace this boiler with a Viessmann but as you can see from the photos its quite high up. Obviously the boxing in around it will be coming down and have a door on it after but would you think it too high to fit a new boiler. Its gonna be about 8ft to bottom of boiler. Am just...
