Re: Oil Fired Warmflow Boiler Central Heating not Working Correctly

Hi Eric, again thanks and apologies for my delay in responding, I took myself off on a short break. Its a pity I took 20 years to try and resolve this, if it had of been in the first 10, I could have got the house builder back.

Re: Oil Fired Warmflow Boiler Central Heating not Working Correctly

Hi Eric Thanks for a very comprehensive reply. From my limited knowledge I must have at least one motorised valve.
