Hi there, I have recently moved into a new home which has a baxi bermuda installed, my aim is ultimately to replace the system but ideally not until next year. I have just had a new three way valve installed on the system as there was no hot water when we moved in, however, ever since doing...

Hi, I am planning to install a wet system in the next week or 2, prior to screed arrival for my new kitchen floor. Having done quite a bit of googling, I can't seem to find many impartial places of advice as to what's a half decent and not too pricey ufh system for approx 28m2 in a single...

Hi all, I have a very basic heating system that I would like to upgrade. Basically, it consists of a Oil burner (non condenser) and two zone systems (downstairs and upstairs), plus hot water tank (which is part of the upstairs zone) There currently are no thermostats except what is on the...

Would appreciate someone one checking over these images and my thought process on how I would go about replacing some copper heating pipes if needed please. https://imgur.com/a/0WY8aTU I'm currently, in the middle of stripping our dining room (~200 year old house, brick walls no cavity) and on...

Hello Hoping someone can help who has experience of unvented water tanks and boiler issues? It’s a long post… heads up! We have recently just had a new system boiler installed (Ideal Logic +) and I noticed that the relief pipe outside my house was dripping water within a few days. The heating...

Hello, Please could someone recommend a small, wall mounted, 60-80L UVC for small outbuilding office / gym? I need hot water for a shower/steam unit and a bathroom sink. Many thanks!

Hi guys Could do with picking some brains. I am currently stripping out a bathroom which will involve moving some radiators around. I pulled the bath out today and found that both the main flow/return pipework has been looped together via reducers at the end of the line and tucked away behind...

Hi, My heating system is gurgling rather loudly, suggesting it's got a large amount of air in it. I've been bleeding the radiators religiously and recently also installed automatic bleed valves (like these https://www.easyfitisolator.com/aladdin-autovents). However, the system remains noisy...

I'm renovating a drafty old house (draughtproofing, interior wall insulation, new windows, etc.) and installing an ASHP to run radiators. I'm now looking towards the kitchen more specifically. I'm aware of the need to have good ventilation and air exchange in the kitchen, but am reluctant to...

Just looking for some advice, we have a detached home built in the late 90’s that has both cavity wall and loft insulation and a mix of single and double radiators. The boiler was replaced 4 years ago. The South West corner bedroom is exceptionally cold in cooler weather and exceptionally warm...

Hi folks, My house is up for sale and due to complete in a few weeks time. It has been vacant for a few months and noticed that the Livingroom Dimplex Duoheat (14 years old) has no lights on the control panel (top right 10 lights). The heater has two power supplies and an electrician that has...

Sorry, I really have spent about an hour looking online for the answer and just can't find anything. Boiler = Worcester Greenstar 28i (dial/timer in the middle) Old thermostat = Siemens Landis & Staefa RA02 New Thermostat = Hive single chanel active heating. The old thermostat is in another...

I'm hoping some kind soul might be able to comment if this workmanship has been carried out properly? Situation is: previously an open vented system which has been converted to a sealed system (the benefits of which I'm still unclear on). As such, an expansion vessel was positioned in the...

I recently installed a hive dual thermostat to work alongside my Worcester Greenstar 34Cdi classic. The water side of things works perfectly. Boiler fires up, hey presto. The heating however does not fire the boiler. The heating only works if the water is on as well. Anyone got any ideas. Please...

Hello, we are purchasing a house with a dorma loft conversion. It looks to have been done to a high standard and very well insulated. However, the central heating has not been extended into the converted loft. I suspect because the boiler is located in the basement. We don’t want to use as an...

The boiler won't ignite and the pressure gauge is just below 1. I've watched loads of YouTube videos on how to increase the pressure, but I can't find a video that shows a boiler like mine. Can anyone help me?

I've replaced my old radiators and rejigged where they sit in the rooms (two smaller spread apart rather than one huge). The existing system now has a 4m length of 22mm that feeds two radiators and just doesn't need to be that size. Would the system run better with the pipe reduced to 15mm or...

I'm considering a loft conversion in my house as as part of adding an extension. However right in the dead centre of the most useful space, are the two tanks for cold water and central heating. If I have an open vented setup, what is the least I can do to convert to mains pressure and remove...
