    Would you replace an old Ideal FF360?

    I have an old FF360 I was thinking about replacing, but in the end it just does not seem economical. It is rated at 78% efficient, so I suppose a new boiler might be able to shave 10-15% off the gas bill, but would that realistically pay for itself? It looks like parts for the Ideal are still...

    Hi again I'm on a roll with the plumbing questions today! So here's query #2... We've not used our hot water for quite some time, and it now doesn't work. From what I can gather based on what I've learnt in the last hour or two, I think the problem is with the 3 port motorised valve. When...

    Any gotcha's to drain and refill a hotwater tank to replace 2 x immersion heaters?

    My daughter has all electric heating, however, the lower economy 7 immersion has failed (high resistance short to earth). I received what I consider a ridiculously high quote of over £400 to drain the tank and replace both immersions (upper boost immersion is working but 8 years old so I assume...

    replace thermostatic mixer shower valve (mains pressure unvented system boiler system)

    With a thermostatic mixer showers, can you replace the unit, in a mains pressure unvented system boiler configuration, by just turning the cold mains off at the stopcock when the water supply enters the property? Will the hot and cold water stop flowing if you turn the mains water off?

    What to replace a Salus RT505TX with?

    Our Salus RT505TX seems to be failing according to Salus as the battery low icon won't turn off even with a reset. It was fitted 7 years ago with a Worcester Bosch boiler, the boiler is fine and we hoped the thermostat would last at least as long. They suggest a RT510TX/RF but we are looking at...
