heating and hot water

Hi there, After unsuccessful attempts to wire up a Hive thermostat, I am now trying to get a Google Nest to control heating in my home. While the thermostat connects to my app and appears to be working on paper, turning the heating on and off do nothing - either the boiler will stay on if I...

I have an SE15 Boiler, and a Alpha 2 Pump connected to the tank. last week, I knocked the cable on the Alpha 2 pump, it knocked the power off, and I had to rewire the power socket to the pump. Now I can't get the heating on, unless the hot water is working. (I don't think the heating gets up...

just moved to UK. I have range tribune HE heating system. 1. What does the tap circled in red(attached image) do? Should it be on or off? 2. I have two power switches for this, one for regular and one for immersion. Due to the twisted wiring it is very difficult to follow the wires and see which...

I've spent quite a few hours trying to fathom how my boiler is configured. At first sight it appears to have all of the components of a c-plan system, 28mm 2 port valve, hot water cylinder thermostat, central heating pump and room thermostat. Firstly the controller, a British Gas UP2 (Drayton...

Hello all. Some advice would be very much appreciated! I have an old Baxi solo 3 40 boiler, HW tank. F&E system. Old system. A couple of weeks ago the boiler kept struggling to heat the rads, particularly downstairs. I removed the Grundfos pump and cleaned A LOT of solidified gunk from the...

Hi, I would like to replace my existing Honeywell ST9100C HW controller and BDR91 CH receiver with a Hive dual channel receiver. The system has an immersion tank for the HW. The BDR91 is wired as follows: The ST9100C is wired as follows: These 2 cables go back to a 10 way junction box...

Hi, I have a two-pipe fully pumped S plan open vented system. When I drained it last time, I had the impression there is some sludge or dirt around it. I therefore am going to drain it again to install a magnetic filter. I was thinking of taking this chance to add a tee on the feed pipe (the...

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...

Hello all, I’m pretty clueless when it comes to this sort of thing but as we can’t have tradesmen in the house due to shielding I’m hoping someone can give me advice to help diagnose my heating problems. We bought this house less than a year ago and starting to find that there are several...

I moved to this house recently and going through a bit of renovation. Can anyone tell me based on the attached photos what system I have at the moment and if is worth to strip it down and install a combi boiler. Thanks

Morning all, I have a problem with my Baxi Combi 105 HE boiler. I think I know what the problem is but I'd really like to run it by some more knowledgeable folk before I commit to it. There is always plentiful hot water, but the radiators do not come on. The hot water demand light is always...

Was recently woken up by my boiler making clunking screeching noises. After speaking to local heating guy, he thought it was the fan. We have now changed the fan, only to find after the boiler kicked in for a few minutes the fan started to make the same clunking screeching noises! Anyone have...

Hi I am new to this site but wanted to ask a question about a fault which has arisen on my Ravenheat Boiler. In the last day it has stopped delivering hot water either to the taps or the CH. The pilot remains lit, the boiler fires up and I can hear the fan working. Occasionally I get about a...

Hi all. Firstly...I realise that I should really use the Hive Heating only, but as I got the Hive Heating and Hot water for £95, and having read other posts on here, I believe that if your boiler uses 230-240V then it will work. Boiler : Gloworm 38CXi combi...
