I had a new Combi boiler (a Vaillant EcoTec exclusive green IQ 843) installed a few days ago replacing a previous system one. My flat has 2 bathrooms on two floors with 2 showers and 1 bath.
Heating works, and hot water mostly works as well but there's something that kicks in when we shower...
Hi
I have a permanent A21 fault on my Greenstar Comfort RF receiver on my boiler. I am unable to access the settings as it does not respond to any input from the buttons on the panel. My thermostat is showing an A28 fault. My thermostat was not working so I disconnected it from the receiver in...
Hi all
I am new to this forum so if I put in too much information please forgive me. I have a WB Heatslave 18 25 oil combi boiler. I have had it for a number of years. I know WB has a great reputation which is why I bought this boiler but it has been temperamental, to say the least.
It has...

Hi all,
Having some issues with my boiler and the central heating company are struggling to resolve.
We had it serviced and it was working fine. We then had a new filling loop fitted a week later as the old one was falling apart, and since then it makes a horrific droning /vibrating noise...
Hi
I have an oil fired AGA which is only used for cooking on, it is not linked to heating system or hot water - both of which is provided by an oil boiler.
Every year when we fire up the AGA the shower runs cold after a few minutes. Water from taps is still piping hot.
Have fitted a new...

My boiler has tripped out showing F23, British Gas came out two weeks ago cleaned out the pump and it worked but now has tripped out again. I need someone who can give the system a power flush. It is an open system with a hot water tank. Many Thanks in Christchurch BH23 4ER
We've basically got to grips with the Vaillant vSmart app, but there's just one thing that puzzles us. When you view the charts, what do the "Heating Operations" bars actually represent? They're shown as percentages, but this doesn't relate to the flow temperatures on the boiler in any way. For...
