Product Information

The installer will recommend his own choice of magnetic filter. 9. Adding thermostatic radiator valves There are calculations that your installer will be able to make based on your room specification and he or she will be able to recommend the correct size radiator. It’s not good enough to simply guess the size when a simple calculation taking a few minutes will give you an exact size. Isolation valve/pump head tool: Bleed pumps or turn off slot heat valves with ease using this tool, saving time and hassle. If you’re considering going up into the loft and adding an ensuite bedroom or extending to the side of the house in the near future, then you should consider a bigger boiler than your current demands dictate.

Gas pipe sizing is a must for all new combi boiler installations and will ensure you are paying for and installing the correct sized gas pipework for your current setup and your future needs. The calculations and formulas used, however, are sometimes complicated and some installers, unfortunately, take a ‘guess’ that 22mm pipework will be OK. A system to combi upgrade Asking a lot of questions can inspire confidence in the engineer depending on their actions and answers and it’s a good way to gauge competence. If you’re unsure which way new pipework will be routed then ask! Analysing your quotes If you’re using the manual valves to control your radiator (the valves with the ‘+’ or ‘-‘ signs) then you probably don’t realise that you’re not controlling (or reducing) the temperature of the radiator – you’re actually reducing the flow of the water through the radiator. If you’re turning the wrong valve then you’re probably causing problems with how the system is ‘balanced’ and might have some radiators not hot enough and others too hot. An installers job, having fitted new central heating, is to balance the system. If the wrong valves are turned this can sometimes cause problems.

Now, that’s not bad at all considering the average UK household uses an average of 3,000kWh. However, because the boiler cannot store the electricity it is producing, it needs to be used at the same time it is being produced. That means you might not be receiving the full benefits of the saving if you have a smaller property, with fewer people living in it, using more electricity than the average household.Return to the gauge, if there is no movement outside of the 20 - 21 Millibar range then it is gas tight. This is great and means there seems to be no leaks or issues. Step Six: Our advice is to flush the system of all the nasty stuff. Then add corrosion inhibitor and a magnetic filter. Testing whether your system has corrosion inhibitor Powerflushing – probably the biggest and most expensive con going and a subject that really bugs me. I’ve never come across a system that ever needed a power flush and I have never power flushed a system and I doubt I ever will. What is power flushing? Feeding new pipework to the new boiler can also take time. It is preferable, but not always possible or cost effective, to hide pipework away under floorboards. You should aim for 3 quotes from 3 different reputable companies. This is more than adequate to get a good idea of what you want and also give you a chance to ask any questions you may have. Bear in mind that every single installation is different and you’ll need tailored advice which is individual to your property.
