heating

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...

Hi all, I have a worcester 9/14 cbi boiler and has been working ok up until last week. When I turn on the boiler for heating the light comes on but the boiler doesn't fire up. However when I turn on the hot water the boiler fires up and works fine. The divertor valve is heating up both pipes...

I have a Danfoss thermostat which is normally set to 19 degrees. When the temperature of the room has been reached the hearing used to turn off automatically. Recently it has just been getting hotter and hotter. I have tried to turn the heating off via the thermostat but the radiators just keep...

I've searched a lot for the answer to this question, so I thought I'd open it up here to see if anyone know how Hive actually works. I already have a Hive hub, and I'm now planning on using hive to control my heating. I only need to control heating as hot water is on demand (i.e there's no hot...

For the last month my oil central heating only comes on sometimes, I’ve checked the water pump and it’s free can anybody give me a couple of checks to do as I have no idea, the fact that it comes on sometimes makes me think it might not be that serious

Hi there, I've got a tricky problem so hoping someone out there might be able to help me. At the moment our upstairs radiator closest to the boiler isn't heating up properly at the top. I tried bleeding the radiator thinking it was trapped air, but when I open the valve fully, no air comes...

I'm trying to find out about the above boiler as I can't find much in the way of independent reviews on the internet. The MiL has one fitted in her newly-purchased house. She phoned me the night after she'd move in to say there was no hot water. I checked the pressure gauge which was at zero...

Hi, I have an issue with my boiler which consists of it making a hissing noise and pressure meter going up when the central heating is on. I haven't tested what happens when the pressure is extremely high as I turn it off before it goes above 3 bars. The central heating is not working but hot...

Hi, I recently bought a couple of WiFi mains switch boxes which just connect live and neutral from the input across to output when operated. One will be used to control our porch light and I would like to control the house CH with the other one, if that's possible. A bit of a Hive-on-the-cheap...

Hi all, This seems like a friendly forum so I thought I'd give it a go. I've just had my gas boiler replaced and had a Siemens RWB 1007 timer installed as part of the installation which works fine except that I can't set a third on/off time. I've called Siemens, but their recorded message told...

The problem I'm having is that occasionally, when the heating is switched on, the green 'radiator/heating' light comes on on the boiler, but not the amber 'flame' light. While the boiler is on this state, radiators don't get warm. If I turn the boiler off and back on, the heating kicks in as...

Almost a year ago I was trying to resolve a few issues with our underfloor - see orignal thread in plumbing here: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/underfloor-heating-a-couple-of-issues.493454/ The meachancal side is fairly under control (!) now nut the control side - electrically, is still...

Hi all, I spent the past few days trawling these forums to find the answer with no luck so hoping someone can help. Just got a new gas combi system, so all new boiler, rads, pipes etc. The thermostat and an 'always on' radiator are in the hall. This rad is reaching the stat temp so quickly...

I have a Main Combi Eco 25 boiler and a Salus RT501RD(TX) room timer. I've just had the boiler serviced and as part of that service had a new diverter valve and actuator motor put on. The reason for this being that the valve was stuck in the mid-position. I now have a new problem. Despite what...

Hi there, Another Hive post, I know, I'm sorry. We've recently had a Ideal Logic + 35 Combi boiler installed. The plumber knew we were going to install Hive so didn't install a thermostat or any kind of timer, just a spur socket. I'm trying to determine which wires go where... Can anyone help...

Pressing and holding the button for 5 seconds, 15 seconds or longer does NOT cause it to flash to reset or enter teaching mode as per the manual. Help!

Hi All, What would be the correct setup for combining wet (primary) and electric (secondary - for summer use) underfloor heating. We are installing a wet room on a concrete slab and will be insulation about this and then Screeding. The screed will contain wet underfloor heating pipes, the...
