Problem with Rhino oil fired boiler

[Scoots3567]

We have no money, mate. Nowt. That's how we have qualified for this Energy Assistance Package the (Scottish) Government is running. We get a grant for £4000 for insulation and whatever remains goes to upgrading our heating system if it's below the set energy efficiency limits being used by the assessors. If it's outwith these limits (I.e. Not energy efficient) the grant goes up to £6500. We're shelling out £450 a month for heating and electricity. It's crippling us (no pun, given my back problem!).

Has anyone asked if its a pressurised system or not ?
if its a standard boiler and not pressurised it could just be a simple gravity fed hot water system.
My question would be who fitted it and how did they do it ?
i have been wiring boilers now for many years and it amazes me how things are done sometimes but in my experience its normally a motorized valve but it could be a cylinder stat some have a reset on them but mostly its the oil boiler that would trigger the reset switch on your immersion than the other way around as the oil boiler will heat water hotter then the immersion.

Warf Heating do a nice air to water heating unit easily installed and cheap at about £1200 and a good deal cheaper to run than oil heating.
All there is to it is a flow and return pipe to tee in to your existing flow and return from your oil boiler and it runs on a 20A switch comes with all controls needed !! worth a look i have fitted a few and all are happy with them.

The original thread's over a year old VJ. He's probably sorted now!

Welcome to the forums by the way!
