heating

Hi I have a new thermostat for our central heating which I'd like to install, however I'd like some guidance on wiring it in. I have some experience in electrical work, and have taken precautions to isolate the wiring, and checked with my multimeter, so everything is safe to work with...

Hi, I'm doing some decorating and need to take a radiator off the wall. I've done this a few times before however I've never seen a lockshield value like this one before where the spindle is completely round. Does anyone have any idea how to tackle this? Thanks in advance

Hello, Recently moved to a new rental place. The Vaillant EcoTec Pro 24 boiler was empty (I think for quite a while), refilled it via the loop to 1.5 bar & bled the radiators to remove any air. One of the valves (the smaller handle) in the filling loops leaks very slightly but I don't think...

Hi everyone, I recently moved into a detached house that is about 20 years old and has the original boiler. The boiler is in the kitchen and then upstairs I have a cupboard with a hot water tank. There is also a cold water tank in the loft. I had the boiler serviced and it works but not...

Hi, I’ve recently bought a new build house. I’m looking to change a standard double panel 600mm x 600mm radiator to a vertical radiator which is 1800mm x 480 mm. The vertical radiator weighs around 45-50kg before water. I think the current one is probably only 20kg before water. The current...

hi Guys, I'm building an outbuilding for recreational purposes which includes a separate shed/garage.... I'm thinking of installing the new boiler in here as its easier to get the gas supply pipe here. I want to be able to control the central heating from inside the main outbuilding... like...

22mm tubes going through a solid 9" brick wall. 30mm holes drilled- strapped a spirit level to the drill & a square to the wall so they're straight and level for a change. Question- is that 4mm gap going to give me annoying rattles and creaks when thermal expansion kicks in (the 2 tubes are feed...

Hi, So for the past week we've been hearing this loud constant clicking/motor-like noise throughout the house, and I've managed to track down the cause of said noise. It's a white box inside one of our un-used storage cupboards that says it's a Drayton Zone Valve ZA5 Actuator. The device...

Hi all, I hope someone can help. I recently purchased a hive dual channel receiver for my Worcester boiler which works alongside an immersion tank. The existing system was a Honeywell setup consisting of: - Wireless thermostat (battery powered in hallway) - BDR91 Wireless relay box (in cupboard...

We've recently moved to a 1960 bungalow. Reasonably insulated, double glazed, retrofitted cavity wall insulation, fair loft insulation. The house has a modern (2009) large extension, feels well insulated but with lots of glass and rooflights. The extension has underfloor heating, everywhere else...

What is the best option for heating a garage being turned into an office? The garage is separate from the house so connecting to the boiler would be tricky.

Good morning, I've had a look at a few threads featuring a horstmann H37XL however the wiring on the posts is slightly different in that our box has 2 lives, earths and neutrals. Our central heating is a 2 zone controlled by Drayton ZA5 aculators, oil fired and currently using the horstmann...

My Miele G1022 stops washing with three Wash / Rinse, Drying and End LEDs flashing at 1 Hz. Heater element is 25 Ω. That looks OK. Thermistor is 13 kΩ at room temperature and 2 kΩ in a cup of boiled water. That looks OK. The Schrack 0419 11 0101 02 relay shows scorching on the inside of the...

I have a Nest gen 3 Gas C/H system in a standard size semi. Up until a couple of days ago, the hot water and central heating worked fine. The schedule and app on phone triggered as should. Nothing has changed in the house whatsoever. The thermostat and the Heat-Link(receiver) are paired so I...

Hi, Wondering if some kind person on here happens to know whether my Honeywell cm907 thermostat can be swapped out for a Nest E thermostat? Currently I have the honeywell connected to my gas combi boiler and the thermostat controls the heating alone. The screen on the honeywell has failed (a...
