boiler

Hi All New house, new boiler! The set-up is: - Vaillant Ecotec Plus 637, system boiler single plan - Tank elson zircon 250zi, no immersion - Programmer Drayton LP722 (dual channel, heating and hot water) - A Salus controller, not too sure what does is used for. As you can see from the PCB...

our boiler pressure is dropping to 0 even after having the blender valve replaced, paid £80. Maybe 2weeks ago. This was when our pressure was at 0 and only cold water was coming out. Now my water is going hot and cold every 15/20 seconds from the bath tap. Any ideas only moved in a month ago

Hello everyone. I've recently moved into a flat and it has a vokera boiler. We've noticed the smell of gas whenever we switch on water, and I've noticed it from another flat as well. We had a boiler check and the engineer didn't find anything wrong or concerning but did not comment on why I'd...

I have a Baxi system boiler in my garage which is connected to the pump and tank in my airing cupboard via Hive.. It has decided to stop firing up for some reason. I have checked the hive system and everything is working fine. The thermostat is talking to the receiver in the airing cupboard...

Hi all, Apologies in advance if I get any terminology incorrect. I moved into a house about a year ago with a system boiler. I've always lived in houses with a regular/conventional boiler system so I'm still getting my head around how a system boiler works. I'm looking at doing some...

Hi all, I would be really grateful for any thoughts or advice. Really struggling to know where to go with this next. We had a new boiler installed about a couple of years ago. It is in the garage and the new flue goes through a new hole that was cut through garage roof boards. The old flue...

Hey everybody I've recently moved into a new flat and have been waiting to have my gas uncapped and boiler recommissioned. The gas man is coming Friday but in the mean time I have noticed that the condensate pipe on my boiler has an uphill bits rather than consistently falling as I've read it's...

I have an issue with my Salus thermostat (model ST620RF). All of the sudden, the lights on the receiver have gone blue and red (dimmed) and the heating and hot water stopped working. The thermostat has new batteries and is working fine as well. I have tried multiple times to re pair it and reset...

This is the second time this has happened in 10 years, I believe caused by me using the immersion heater today. Can you identify the switch for me so I can buy a new one. My best guess is a 45w cooker switch: https://www.toolstation.com/axiom-45a-dp-cooker-switch/p81324

Hi. I live in a bungalow with an Ideal Classic NF40 boiler that was installed (open vented system - rear flue) when the house was built in 1994. The boiler was moved from the garage up to the loft when my garage was "converted" about 15 years ago. The boiler has been serviced every year (by BG)...

Hi all, I'm getting a persistent leak from my combi boiler unit. It fills a 500ml container a week, so it's not 'critical' just yet. I do not intend to fix this myself. I want to save time and identify what parts I might usefully get for whoever comes and does this repair for me. Here are a...

Hi, I live in an old Victorian terraced house 2bed/1bath with a 23-30y Vaillant Turbomax 242 E combi boiler that came with the house when we moved in 3 years ago. We booked a boiler replacement through an online service for today. The new boiler is a Worcester 4000 30kw (I plan to do a loft...

Hi all Noticed the condenser pipe had come out of the bottom of our boiler a couple of days ago so switched the boiler off for a day and then realised it was an easy fix so pushed the pipe back into place. When I put the boiler back on again I noticed the pressure was low so opened the valves...

The C1 code is showing (error with fan) after I first first hear brief whirring-ticking, like the fan motor is trying to get going, so possibly more likely the motor as the display is normal until I attempt to run the boiler? I realise this is possibly down to a faulty PCB, which could have...

The towel radiator in my bathroom get very hot so I thought I'd turn down the heating flow temperature at the boiler. My boiler is an Ariston Combi CLAS HE 30. Here is a pic of my boiler controls... As you can see it has 2 separate dials for heating and water. When I turn down the water dial...

I had a new Worcester Bosch 28CDi boiler fitted in my flat recently. It works, but I've noticed a strange thing. Sometimes the gentle humming sound from (what I assume is) the pump fluctuates - the pitch rises and falls every 5 seconds or so. Is this normal? It's quite distracting (sounds like...

Hi we moved into our house last summer and it wasn’t until winter we started having problems. We couldn’t get the radiators to work until my dad came around and fiddled with loads of stuff on the boiler and the radiators. To his credit it worked but now we can’t get the radiators to go off and...

Hi everyone, I am after some advice. We had a new consumer unit fitted with an RCD and when we switch the boiler/heating on it trips the RCD. The boiler is wired to the consumer unit via the ring main with a 32a fuse. We have an old boiler (ideal Mexico floor standing boiler with a separate...

So I have a combi boiler and two zones, one is underfloor heating and the other goes around 9 radiators. There has been alot of black sludge blocking the heat exchanger the last few years. I am planning to get a filter on the system and I was recommended the Magnaclean Pro 2. However I dont...

I have a combi boiler that has no mag filter and the heat exchanger is getting full of crap from the system, which is costing me money (about £130) to get cleaned every year. I had a couple of plumbers round, one said he could fit mag filter for £300, which I assume would be on the flow, since...
