Good evening,
I have recently moved into a new home and I am having problems with the MCB/RCD tripping (Mem M6 Type 3 - 30mA). It intermittently trips when I switch on the Central Heating on and sometimes after running the heating for a couple of hours. The heating is gravity fed, hot water...
Had a new unvented Boiler fitted as the old one had reached the end of it's life. Electrician mentioned that it might be worth replacing my fuse box and giving it a separate RCD. My fuse box appears to have 10 black switches and the 3 red main ones, was last checked by an electrician in 2020...
I generally consider myself pretty up on heating systems but this has me slightly stumped… An otherwise very simple system boiler on what I assume is an bog standard S plan. What could make it call for DHW (tank stat registering cold after a full draw) OUTSIDE of the programmed hours and...
Hi,
I'm having a new boiler fitted in a new location. I need to provide power for the boiler which I'm looking to do myself.

As a young man, I was an electrician, but now I'm getting on, I am strictly DIY.
I used to have a cheap old 900W petrol generator connected to a dedicated twin socket which I used to run my gas central heating boiler (plus essential TV) in the event of a power failure. It worked fine, but...
Do you install new heating systems? Ever had a missing cable run between a boiler and a pump?
Using MAINSLINK - the pump overrun solution - you can avoid expensive cable runs when cables are missing between a boiler and a pump. When the MAINSLINK by the boiler has 230Vac live input, this...
Just looking at my boiler wiring out of interest, and just wondering if it's wired correctly.
So perma lives, neutrals and earths in the right place, but i can't figure out the switch lives to the controller.
If i follow the circuit it seems like the earth of the 4 core is acting as some sort...
The new Advance Combi Boiler has a feed from consumer unit using 6mm cable on a 32amp breaker to a 45amp double pole switch. What size cable to the boiler should it be from this switch. It has a fused 3amp supply to the electronics section.
Hi - first-time post from a complete novice.
I want to install a 24kw electric boiler on my property but that size requires Phase 3 supply. Northern Powergrid don't install Phase 3 in my area (off grid) but can increase capacity via a split supply. Can I run a phase 3 boiler from a split...
(Or that might be should a failed HW valve keep boiler running)
Woke up this morning to find the boiler still running even though all timers off (HW and CH). We have a simple S-plan CH/HW system with oil-fired boiler and a 2-port zone valve for CH and a 2-port zone valve for HW. Various...
Hi, my wife and I have decided to bite the bullet re the costs of an electric combi boiler in an off-gas grid one bedroom flat where space is so tight we need to get the old LPG boiler out of the kitchen and have an electric combi in an internal cupboard.
Questions: we are looking to get an...
Can I supply my central heating (programmer, two port valves and boiler) via a fused spur taken from the immersion heater circuit?
They’re currently supplied from a fused spur taken off the ring main; however, kitchen wall’s are being moved around.
There is nothing else on the immersion...

My boiler is still working fine and my new Hive thermostat works manually (just not on the app).
The boiler regardless of what’s happening still shows the A21 fault which I believe is an RF signal fault? Any ideas?
Hi all
Mate of mine is getting a new utility room fitted, the kitchen fitting company have brought in their electricians for first fix and to be fair they've done a good job, neat chasing, capping used, all cables in zones etc. They've also had to chase in the boiler feed which was in surface...
