heating

Hi All, Ok so as most of you know by now parts are getting increasingly difficult to get and am in need of two Howden AA714 15" 3kW IMMERSION HEATER 20A @ 72°C – 16A @ 95°C – AA714 (2 1/4″ Thread) elements. The supplier (only one by the looks of things) has a lead time of up to 4 weeks and a...

I've moved into a new house and I'd like to upgrade to a smart thermostat, such as the Draton Wiser. Self installation seems do-able but I don't understand my current Honeywell thermostat CM907. Most smart thermostat install guides show many wires coming into the backplate of the existing...

Hi, I have an Evinox UA10 Room Controller showing an LP message and flickering constantly (like this). I have looked into the user manual but there's no mention of any LP. My first guess was that it stands for "Low Pressure" but the boiler shows a normal pressure. My second guess would be "Low...

Hello. I bought a flat a few month ago, but I cannot figure out how to get heating. I have gaz, and the Combi boiler (Ideal logic combi 30) is working for hot water, but not for heating. The boiler always display "0" which apparenlty means that there is no current demand. I set up the remote...

Hi there, I hope someone can help as I'm struggling to diagnose what the issue could be and not having much luck getting a professional tradesperson to look at the problem I moved into a property last year with a wet system installed where the wood burner can be used to heat the hot water and...

When the heating is turned on, all the radiators in the flat is on. But the towel rail in the bathroom does not heat up. I have a combi boiler. Photos of towel rail are attached. Looking at the towel rail - there's a wire coming out of it at the bottom but no valves(?). I'm confused and wonder...

Hi there, I have recently moved into a new home which has a baxi bermuda installed, my aim is ultimately to replace the system but ideally not until next year. I have just had a new three way valve installed on the system as there was no hot water when we moved in, however, ever since doing...

Hi, I am planning to install a wet system in the next week or 2, prior to screed arrival for my new kitchen floor. Having done quite a bit of googling, I can't seem to find many impartial places of advice as to what's a half decent and not too pricey ufh system for approx 28m2 in a single...

Hi all, I have a very basic heating system that I would like to upgrade. Basically, it consists of a Oil burner (non condenser) and two zone systems (downstairs and upstairs), plus hot water tank (which is part of the upstairs zone) There currently are no thermostats except what is on the...

Hello, Please could someone recommend a small, wall mounted, 60-80L UVC for small outbuilding office / gym? I need hot water for a shower/steam unit and a bathroom sink. Many thanks!

Hi guys Could do with picking some brains. I am currently stripping out a bathroom which will involve moving some radiators around. I pulled the bath out today and found that both the main flow/return pipework has been looped together via reducers at the end of the line and tucked away behind...

Hi, My heating system is gurgling rather loudly, suggesting it's got a large amount of air in it. I've been bleeding the radiators religiously and recently also installed automatic bleed valves (like these https://www.easyfitisolator.com/aladdin-autovents). However, the system remains noisy...

I'm renovating a drafty old house (draughtproofing, interior wall insulation, new windows, etc.) and installing an ASHP to run radiators. I'm now looking towards the kitchen more specifically. I'm aware of the need to have good ventilation and air exchange in the kitchen, but am reluctant to...

Just looking for some advice, we have a detached home built in the late 90’s that has both cavity wall and loft insulation and a mix of single and double radiators. The boiler was replaced 4 years ago. The South West corner bedroom is exceptionally cold in cooler weather and exceptionally warm...

Hi folks, My house is up for sale and due to complete in a few weeks time. It has been vacant for a few months and noticed that the Livingroom Dimplex Duoheat (14 years old) has no lights on the control panel (top right 10 lights). The heater has two power supplies and an electrician that has...

I'm hoping some kind soul might be able to comment if this workmanship has been carried out properly? Situation is: previously an open vented system which has been converted to a sealed system (the benefits of which I'm still unclear on). As such, an expansion vessel was positioned in the...
