I would be happy to give you advice and a free quotation once you've settled into your new home. Give me a call on 07789 405751. Cheers, Kev @ Direct gas & heating services.

Hi tricky. I'm a gas safe registered engineer who is new to the forum. I would charge around £325 to powerflush your heating system unless it is 8mm or 10mm microbore pipe work. I use the kamco powerflushing machine, which is a great piece of kit. I only use quality kamco cleaning chemicals and crystals. Upon completion 2 bottles of fernox F1 inhibitor would be added to system. To install a magnetic system filter would cost an extra £90. This is recommended as it keeps on protecting your system for years to come with no need to buy any replacement filters. Cheers Kev (direct gas & heating services) 07789 405751

I'm new to the forum so i hope this works !!! I agree with Mickey ET. If a conventional system has been upgraded properly it should at least contain a 3 port motorised valve or two 2 port valves. Then the boiler will only operate when the switched live becomes live when one of the valves is calling for heat. The permanant live to your old boiler was probabaly a pump over run, the baxi solo doesn't need a pump over run but still has the space for the permanant live wire on the terminal block if you want to install a pump over run.
