Heating

I have just found out that when the engineer was round trying to solve the original problem and fitting a new pump (that was not needed)

Heating

If the pump is turned any higher than the first setting, water comes from the overflow in the roof. I have tried balancing the system already, this didn't work.

Would this be any different? If the new one is set any higher, water starts coming from the overflow out of the roo...

Radiators constantly need bleeding

Hi, My great aunt's radiators are constantly cold, you can bleed them on one day and the following day they need doing again. She's had a heating engineer round today who's told her that her hot water cylinder is drawing air in and she needs a new one. The problem is he's also told her she needs a c...
