F22 fault Vaillant ecoTec NEW MODEL

If a  F22 message appears on the boiler you will have no heating or hot water. This is not usually because the central heating system has lost some pressure (a little bit of water). It is nothing to be concerned about unless it happens regularly, if it does then it may be a boiler fault or a leak on the central heating system. Lots of systems will need filling 3 or 4 times a year. Adding pressure or filling is…...

Gas bill reduction

With gas prices so high what’s the best way to reduce gas consumption.   Heat pump vs Gas boiler. There’s a lot of talk about heat pumps on the news, however, it is still not a viable option for the majority of houses. This is because of the limitations of heat pumps. Gas boilers provide much hotter radiators than a heat pump can. The majority of heating systems have been designed with this in mind, so if you replace a…...

Boiler installation costs

What effects the price of the boiler installation the most and why.   The cost of the Boiler, like most things you get what you pay for, Worcester and Vaillant are very good boilers but do cost more than cheap boilers like Ideal, Glowworm etc. In our view they still represent better value for money because of the reliability and efficiency.   The KW rating of the boiler.

Boiler condemned

What to do if you have had your boiler condemned by British Gas or another company. It really depends on why it was condemned. Gas engineers have a legal responsibility to condemn a potentially dangerous boiler. It may have been working fine before it has been condemned and you may have had no problems, however this does not mean that it is not dangerous. If you feel the engineer has been too quick to condemn the boiler you could always…...

Poweflush and leaks

It is a bit of a myth that a powerflush may cause a leak, we fit more than a hundred boilers a year and powerflush every time. Anything that may leak during a powerflush is going to leak in the very near future anyway, but even this is very rare. Maybe 1 in 150. It is absolutely critical we get the system clean for the new boiler, old boilers will work fine with some sludge in the system. Good modern…...

Combi Boilers in Large Homes

Many people think a combi boiler is not suitable for a large house, but is this right?   The reason for this is mostly out of date. Older combi boilers are not capable of heating up high volumes of hot water. This is because the boiler heats the water up instantly so needs to slow the water down to match the power and efficiency of the boiler. Huge improvements have been made on this front, very high powered options are…...

Why we don’t install regular boilers

We install system boilers or combi boilers, the only time we install a regular boiler is if we can convert the central heating system to being sealed. The reason for this is all about keeping the system clean. Because of the way new condensing boilers (all new boilers are condensing whether they are combi boiler, system boiler or regular boiler) work it is even more important than ever the system is clean. Why it is perfectly possible to clean an…...
