boiler

Here's the situation... We have a 10-years old Valiant boiler, and a British Gas HomeCare agreement to service it. Nothing wrong with the boiler, it has been serviced regularly and works fine, never broke down. But... over the past few months it started to become noisy, on occasion it sound...

We use the above for our central heating and hot water. It's never given a moment of trouble, and I don't want to spoil the trend. Like half of the country, we've just experienced a freeze-up and burst to an outside pipe. It only supplies the outside tap at the back of the house, so I've done...

I have a Vaillant Combi Ecotec plus boiler that serves the central heating and I seem to have pressure issues in the radiators. When the system is cold the sealed pressure reading is at about .4 bar and at around this figure the boiler will refuse to come on and show an error. Then you have...

Hi All, I'm really stuck. There seem to be sooo many boilers, and so many differing opinions. I need a new combi boiler, I'll be buying and the fitter will be fitting. I'll be getting a POWERFlush, cleanser & inhibitor, Magna Clean ...and maybe a lime fighter (or maybe not? - thoughts?). I...

Hi, Hoping for some good recommednations, as always from you chaps! I've heard that the boiler is packed up, the hot water is not firing - it's a problem that has progressively gotten worse over the past few weeks. Firstly, only the tap nearest the boiler would fire the hot water...now...

OK, so here goes. I know costs are variable etc but would like a ballpark idea of what it would cost to install a full system into a large 5bedroom house - lets say 3500-4000 sq foot. Old system need replacing. It needs a new boiler, new megaflow system as well as rads and pipework round the...

My son has just moved into his very first "own" house in Leeds on Wednesday this week. He called this morning to say the boiler had cut out a couple of times with an error code saying "burner overheat" (different to boiler overheat apparently) - it's one of those combi units of which I have no...

Our monthly gas bills seem rather high over a 12 month period (about £700 per annum) which I guess in large part is due to the old heating system. I am wondering if changing the boiler is a worthwhile move? So you have some technical info this is the situation: We have a 4 bedroomed...

I'm sure that someone will know. We had a new boiler a year ago and it's been a bit of a nightmare, the installer has fu... the installer has gone away and we can't ask him for his advice. It's a Worcester 42CDI and doesn't seem to keep the house warm. Last winter we used around 200quid...

Thought I would ask here first as someone on here usually knows the answer. My combi boiler is constantly making a noise as if something is still running. It sound like a fan or a pump. The heating is obviously off and there are no leaks or anything. The daft thing is I can't power it off...

Hi I have a Baxi Mermuda 552 boiler and I cleaned the system from dust and now when onn the boiler, the gas ignites continuously for about 20 seconds only and then goes off for about 20 seconds. Any advice what can be the problem ? I have replaced the thermocouple(keeps the polit light onn)

Hi Further to my previous posts regards the problems with my central heating, I had a plumber come to look at the boiler this evening and I have been told that we need to change the boiler. Now for my next question, how much should this cost? I have been quoted £3100 to remove the old...

Our boiler (Potterton Suprima 70) has become rather noisy ... the obvious culprit would seem to be the fan. Digging out the paperwork the boiler is 8 years old - is it reasonable for the fan to be up for replacement? I assume a shaft/bearing is worn, in which case it's unlikely (touch wood)...

wonder if someone can help with advice....last few days the water (shower and taps) alternately go hot and cold...doesnt appear to be a pressure problem with the boiler...worcester 35cdi... any help greatly appreciated cheers

Are there any Boiler Engineers in the house?
