Thanks for sorting out my boiler electrics today Johnathan. Good job and good price and very pleasant fella!

sorry but your "gas safe" mate should really know the basics of heating system electrics. The permanaent live to the old boiler would have run from the Honeywell "10 box" which is usually placed in the airing cupboard alongside the cylinder and valves. there should be a 3amp fuse switch in there as well.

 

The safest thing to do would be just to install another 3amp fused switch spur on the end of that live and then run a feed to the boiler from that.

Thanks for that, do the regs say that there must be a certain distance between the boiler and fuse box that you are aware of?

does the Heating and hot water system work correctly now its been wired up like that?

Cheers Jon

Yes it works absolutely fine.

a boiler shouldnt be run from a plug but a fuse switch spur.

is it a combi boiler or a standard system boiler?

Cheers Jon

Hi, yes he just put that on to check its working, Im not using it till gets sorted. Its a non combi boiler, and is a Baxi solo.

My friend fitted a new boiler for me recently, it was a straight swap. The problem is though, the old boiler had a permanent live cable to it, which my friend wasn't sure what to do with, so at the moment the boiler is being run from a plug point.

Anyone know what needs to be done please?

(Before anyone asks my mate is Gas Safe registered.)

Shovell it onto your garden!

Damaged my screen anyone know where I could get it repaired and how much?

Ours is always going out - sometimes 2-3 times per day. It is really annoying! It is quite easy to re-light it, and i think it happens sometimes when the water pressure is too high/or too low.

Don't think this is a pressure related problem. But yes it's so annoying when the pilot light doesn't work, as you come home from work and it's freezing for an hour or two until it warms up after having to relight the pilot light!

Check all connections to the fan assembly especially Earth.

Make sure fan is running freely.

Check ignition Earth.

 

Which model Trianco is it?

Hi, the Gas man said it was a 'high water content' boiler.

The only other info I have on it is what it say's on it,

W.M.65/80F

G.C. No 41.898.34

You will probably need a corgi certified plumber out to figure out the problem.

I've had one, as stated in op.

blocked flu?? When it snowed our flu got blocked and kept knocking the pilot light out, but ours is a bitch to light, started to get annoying.

No, the problem started well befor the snowy weather came.

I have a problem with my boiler. It is a Trianco type. Often the pilot light goes out. It restarts easily each time. I have changed the thermocople but the pilot light still goes off, after the boiler has been on.

I had a gas fitter to see it but he couldn't work out whats wrong. He say's it may be a loose contact but the bit of the boiler where this is, is sealed.

Occasionally now, when the pilot IS on the boiler doesn't start. If I give the boiler a bang the fan noise changes and the boiler then comes on!

Any idea on what I can do, or do I just have to bite the bullet and get a new boiler?

Just driven up Ecclesall Road and seen another new cafe this one is just up from Nonna's, where Billy Cat used to be and is called Chocadore.Surely Ecclesall Road is reaching saturation point with all the coffee shops / cafes. Wondered if anyone has tried it yet?

Could the 10% drop in price have something to do with it?

Doubt it as he dropped the price months ago.

I ask because my neighbours house has been on the market for about 4-5 months (in Ecclesall) and there had been very little interest, with ony 3 people viewing the house causing him to drop the price by 10%.

My neighbour now say's that 6 people have been to see it in the last two weeks and that he has had his first offer.

Any estate agents out there?
