    Boiler won't fire up when heating activated but does with hot water.

    Agree. Most probably the motorised valve. The head comes off the valve, so no draining down of the system required, but you may need an electrician or heating engineer to wire in the new head. To test it, you could try LIGHTLY tapping the valve with a hammer when it’s calling for heat… it...

    Suitable heating system choice

    Everything’s on hold just now. We put an offer in last Friday, and haven’t heard back…. So either the sellers are disgusted with the offer, or they are seriously thinking about it. I’ve got the summer to sort out the space heating… and quite a bit of kitchen renovation before deciding on a...

    Suitable heating system choice

    Adding radiator to bedrooms

    The other bedroom is one of the kids rooms, and gets a lot of sun. I might just remove hers and use the tails for my new radiator. She doesn’t need it… lol

    Have members moved away from the forum??

    Regarding ads…. I am a member of the partner electrician forum, and a subscriber…. The only ads I see there are the sponsors. If you pay, and you’re still seeing a multitude of ads, then have a quick word with the forum owner, @Dan … as sometimes a software update screws around with the...

    Adding radiator to bedrooms

    I take it I can’t do that when each rad has a TRV? The manifold isn’t far away, as far as I can remember…. But it means lifting the hall carpet and gyproc floor.
