    UFH has its own pump that keeps running round the clock!

    Hi, I moved to a house recently where it is installed with city heating system. As I understand from past records, the original house had only radiators that were fed by a thermostat-controlled heat exhanger with a pump to circulate hot water. One of the previous tenants installed under-floor...

    Advice on a JG UH3 Wiring Zone and how to stop the UF pump running when the HW timer kicks in

    Hi all. First post. I have a JG UH3 wiring zone and I've noticed that the UFH pump always comes on when the HW 'circuit/thermo' is triggered. Hence - rather than just heat the water in the tank - I also heat the UF circuits. I can't see a way to avoid this - it may be the way the circuits...

    Stiff temp value, only when running!

    Hi, can anyone help please? I have a bar shower as shown in the photo. It’s roughly two years old. The temperature valve has been getting progressively tighter recently, to the point now where I cannot turn it! However, this is only when I’m in the shower with it turned on. If I turn the...

    Running pipe INSIDE floorboard?

    I need to run central heating pipe horizontally under the floorboards of an upper floor. I need to go through only one 75mm wide beam, but I'm wary of boring or notching it, also because that would be quite close to the wall bearing the beam. So I thought of running an 8mm or 10mm pipe...

    Running pipes above boiler - air trap?

    Hi We installed a combi boiler in an upper flat by taking the pipes up (above the boiler) and into the loft, and then dropped them back down to the radiators in 3 different rooms (as opposed to the normal method of running the pipes under the floor beneath the boiler which was not possible in...

    Running a combi without hot water.

    It seems combi boilers are now cheaper than regular or system boilers, in some cases by quite a bit. I suppose they make a lot more of them and it is just economics of scale. Is it possible to install a combi and just leave the hot water disconnected, and/or turn it off? I am pretty sure you...

    Running boiler flu on top of kitchen cupboards

    My daughter is having a kitchen extension and the boiler is going to be fitted on an inside wall with the flu running around 20 feet along the top of her new kitchen cupboards and out the wall. I think it’s a normal combi boiler (maybe Valiant). Is this normal and are there any safety...

    We are getting a new gas cooker installed on Sunday. The existing one is over 25 years old, as such I'm having to do some prep to make sure it's ok to install (remove wallpaper from the hot zone for one).

    Continously running toilet

    Hi, My pump was cycling when no water was running and I finally tracked it down to a toilet where the water was continuously running into the bowl (only very slightly). I have taken the top off the cistern and that has stopped the problem - leading me to believe that the problem must lie...
