heating

We had an extension to the house a few years ago and installed water central heating in the new concrete floor. This heats less that half of the floor space of the open plan kitchen / family room. The rest of the floor is the original house floor (un-insulated concrete slab). The builders broke...

I’m looking at this UFH solution for an upcoming project on suspended timber floors. https://www.omnie.co.uk/torfloor/ It’s the only solution I’ve found which gives a low floor build up and is designed to replace the structural floor. It comprises a routed 22mm chipboard sheet with a foil...

we've got quite an old central heating system (regular boiler) with a tank in the loft. i could have sworn the water in this tank used to be hot, but i assume i'm mistaken and that it's a cold water tank? anyway, recently the heating has been making lots of creaking noises and the pump it's...

Hi, My ideal Logic+ boiler keeps displaying pump overrun while it is meant to be heating. I've read in other places this is a normal function when the heating has been on and has just stopped. However, for me it keeps appearing during the time the boiler is meant to be on. The radiators...

Just in case anyone has some ideas to point me in the right direction! The system: Vaillant EcoTec 418 system boiler with unvented tank. S-plan (2 zone, CH and HW). Grundfos 3-speed pump (set to 2). Recently added smart valves (Drayton Wiser) to 5 out of 9 rads, so boiler load is reduced (all...

I've recently employed a new firm to service our boiler, which is a Main Combi Eco 25. The boiler has been relatively reliable to us with the only fault so far (after 3 years) being a replacement diverter valve. The boiler itself is 7 years old and we look after it (run it periodically during...

Hi All, recently, when I turn the bath hot tap on, just slightly, a very loud shuddering, like a pneumatic drill, can be heard from the pipes/floor/tap? When I turn the tap on fully, it stops. Is this water hammer? It doesn't happen all the time, just every so often. But it is so loud and...

Hi all, As the title says, my bathroom radiator makes a ticking noise when hot water is running, however makes no noise at all when the heating is running. I’ve bled it in the hope that would help but no joy. Other than this it works fine, just don’t know what it could be or if I should worry...

Blocked water supply in house by mistake, then got it back, followed suggested routine, start from highest outlet down, supply restored but since then f&e tank overflows, ever so slightly, occasionally the overflow stops but during 24 hrs about 3-4 buckets collect. Get conflicting advice from...

Have traditionalvented indirect heating system. F&E and large water tank in loft. All worked well until my watersofterner gave up the ghost. While fiddling around with it I shut down bypass valve by accident. Water in house ran out. Got that sorted again. But ever since the F&E tank is...

Hello, first time on this page but I’ll do my best to explain my issue. It all started when my boiler malfunctioned, ended up being the blower, the flame tube and the igniter. After this was fixed by a professional after the system pressurized it started leaking out of the pressure relief, no...
