Hello all,
just a qick one, are you considering Nest as a good room stat? Is the price worth buying it ? Just seen it few months ago and wanted to know what's your opinion about this particular product.
if not what's the alternative, what sort of stats you recommend or love to install based...
Hi All,
I have installed UFH in my kitchen extension. Problem is to get it started. I can feel that hot water is going trough pump, but no heat water is coming back. So I thought either it's connected wrong or I have a air in the system. Please see file attached with pipework explained. So this...
Alright guys? Just a quick one.
If there is 2 open flued fires in the same room, totalling 13kw combined, but the room used to be 2 rooms eith the dividing wall now removed, does it now need a vent?
Or is adventitious air still applicable as it used to be 2 rooms?
Went to a job today reporting of no heating. Heating only boiler with a cylinder for dhw - s plan.
After creating demand on the water, confirmed the pump and boiler was fine.
After testing I found the wireless receiver to be at fault - I bridged the common to the call and ran the heating, all...
Some have it, some don't, but can anyone please explain why? What does it do? As the stat is a simple on/off switch.
I fit Honeywell two-wire ones normally so I've never really had to think about it except when replacing stats like-for-like but would like to understand the principle..
Cheers!
Just to reiterate, Croppy said it was cool to ask gas questions in here as I'm doing my gas at the mo.
Well, I've passed all my exams and practicals, I just need to do my portfolio.
Anyway..
How do you tell if, say a boiler for example, is room sealed or open flued (if the open flued boiler...
I have a problem with noise travelling through the extraction system in a house, going from one room and travelling along the pipework into another room. Not ideal as you can hear people on the other room including in the bathroom too! Is there any way I can insulate against this at all?
Hi Guys - just a quickie!
I'm aware that a TRV shouldn't be fitted to a rad in a thermostat-controlled room, but does that apply to all rads, when more than one is fitted in the room - regardless of how they may be proportioned?
Cheers
Ideal Logic Plus 35 or Ideal Independent Plus 35? - both fit into the existing boiler space so which one would you recommend?. Am I right in saying that internally thiese are identical and the only difference is in the outer casings? Is the price difference worth it and if so -why?
2. Best...
Can someone confirm please I'm correct in thinking if you have 2no rads in the same room you only put a trv on one of the rads? If so what's the science behind this and is it also a building reg recommendation ?
Hi folks,
I'm trying to work out drainage for garden room with 1 x toilet, 1 x basin, 1 x shower. Because the drain has to run several metres to get to the building, there is very little height to play with to connect into it.
I have attached a sketch of what I'm thinking of doing...

Got a flue next to Double window one side opens which is furthest away from flue.
The fixed window is closest to the flue.
Would you measure from edge of closest window to edge of the flue which is around 275mm or from openable window to edge of flue which is 875mm??
I have to revisit a property.
Issue is downstairs w/c in a solid floor (asphalt) property. Drain goez through floor. No split in pipe. Pan connector changed, basin trap changed for anti vac type. Nothing else in room. Room stinks of open drains. Smell comes in summer and goes in winter. No...
Evening all i need to change my room stat as ours is on the blink and being my own gaff I fancy a hive stat and receiver that can be controlled by our iphones or a equivalent. The only place I seen hive is through British gas, being a plumber I kindly won't pay them toe rags way over the odds to...
Got a couple of situations just wondering if any commercial guys could give me some advice on classifications.
1. Nine Hamworthy UR 430 open flued boilers connected to one flue. Think the maximum should be six.
Everything ok, burner pressure, gas rate, flue flow, no spillage with all...
Hi there,
Im about to take my ACS and need something clearing up. I was taught that if you have 2 or more appliances of the same category in a room (e.g. Open flued boiler & a radiant gas fire) then adventitious air is not taken into account. However, reading other books and online literature...
