    Potentially moving to house with solar panels - advice?

    Hi! :) I'm on the hunt for a house and one of them which looks incredibly promising has a solar installation - I don't know a whole lot about these so I was hoping to get some advice on 'best practices' with solar panels.

    No hot water. 3 ladies in the house. I'm feeling the heat (but not from the water)

    Here's the problem: Central heating (wet underfloor) is fine. Hot water comes out of any tap/shower for 60 seconds, then cold. This happened suddenly, was working fine before that. Boiler working OK. Pipes within a couple of metres of unvented cylinder are hot. Pressure gauge to cylinder is...

    We have just moved in to a 1950's house which has a central heating system previously heated by a coal fired Rayburn which has been removed. We need to have a new boiler installed, but this may have to be in a temporary location as we hope to have the whole house remodelled and extended. It...

    Builders not wanting to zone house.

    I think I am correct in saying that building Regs part L1a states that a house over 150 sqm, should have its heating system zoned. However the builders I work for don't want to zone it due to added cost of installation and time. I think they have stated that because the house had its planning...

    Plumbing works whole house refurb

    Hi guys. This job is near reading. It is to do a couple of bathrooms, move boiler, move tanks in loft higher and put cylinder in loft. Possibly put in an unvented cylinder as mains pressure and flow off the chart. A bit too far for me but it is for my wife's friend.
