I may have to look for a leak on a heating system losing pressure every day. No sign of a visible leak anywhere, including prv and condense in case heat exchanger is knackered. All ground floor heating pipework is in concrete flooring, has anyone hired a thermal imaging camera and had any...
Hi
Can anyone give me some advice please. I think have a scale issue with my electric boiler (8 years old). The symptoms are the water in the shower/taps runs hot initially then runs luke warm after a short while. If you switch off the shower/taps briefly the water then runs hot again when...

Dear All,
We have a flat that has electric only. When we renovated it, we took out the unvented cylinder and installed a thermal store which also 'powers' a wet central heating system. The plumber who installed it had never worked with a thermal store and was convinced it wasn't going to...
Hi I have a double Solux roof integrated solar thermal flat panel which has developed a water leak since the cold weather earlier this year. I can't see where the water is leaking from because it is running between the roof felt and slates then into the gutter/downspout. Does any one know if it...

all going well until I saw a big thermal store in the airing! I hate the things, they scare me! It's because I am not familiar with them & there operation!

Hi guys I'm havin a problem with this cylinder, not dealt with these for a long time, what's the best way to check the thermal cut off device in these?
Has anybody ever used one for plumbing purposes and does it work..
Im talking about tracing leaks in screed, looking at UHF circulation.?
Just a thought.
I have a 210L Albion thermal store, electric only, used for hot water. The coils inside have obviously gone and are leaking into the store as it is overflowing (ruled out the ball valve and filler mechanism).
Question is: can I convert this to a heatbank with a plate heat exchanger? It's either...
Will try explain this problem best I can. I have a Ecocat thermal store (Chelmer heating) for central heating and DHW.

I am renovating my house very shortly and would like to fit a large Wood burner with a back boiler and link this to a Heat bank (thermal store).
I have a very good idea of what I want, but would like to ensure it all works efficiently and reliably by getting a heating engineer...
Hi All,
My 16 year old Albion Mainsflow Integrated Combi Thermal Store (Direct) MF30/180 has split and needs replacing. I have had a couple of plumbers look at it and both have quoted me around the £2000 mark. I never expected it to cost anywhere near that but find that the cylinder alone is...
