Combi boiler - quality/reliable manufacturers

Within a week of each other, myself and a friend have had major boiler problems that mean we are looking to replace our combi boilers. I'm lucky in that mine just needed a new pump and is now working again, but she has no heating or hot water - not even an electric shower. Mine is an Ariston Microge...

UPDATE: Ariston technical support got back to me about this subject and thought I should post it here for anybody else who is looking into the options. It was more specific to our actual model. "Yes an external control can be fitted to the external control connector in the boiler. The switching...

Thanks for the quick reply. It's a Ariston Microgenius 27 MFFI, if that's any help. I guess what I really meant to ask more specifically was: does the timer simply control the power to the boiler (on/off style) or does it have to be integrated into the boiler's controls? If it's the power interrupti...

Instal a programmable control/timer to an older combi

I have an older combi boiler that has a mechanical timer control on the boiler but it's upstairs and after a recent injury I can't get up stairs (and won't be able to for several months ) so I was wondering if it was possible to install an electronic one downstairs to control it. I don't need anythi...

Thanks [b]cueball [/b], but that's one of the options that I've already tried. I spent half an hour in B&Q this morning looking at all of their options. Screwfix were even more limited (but I've found that to be ever more the case lately). The problem with the trap adaptor option is that I still...

Can't fit basin pop-up waste through countertop

I've bought a monobloc tap that came with a pop-up mechanism. This was to be fitted to a basin that sits on top of (not part recessed into) a granite countertop. The basin has an internal overflow so the waste has to be slotted. The problem is that the top half of the waste only reaches part way thr...

Thanks. It'll be nice to be toastie tonight. What I discovered late on today when I was in the crawl space under the house is that there are two pipes that run under the kitchen but are blanked at the ends (there is no radiator in there) so I figured out for myself that my system must work with a ra...

Running CH with a radiator out of the loop (valves plugged)

I'm completely replacing the bathroom and one of the jobs is to replace the standard radiator with a chrome towel rail one. At the moment the old rad is out and the two valves are plugged to prevent any leaking - especially from the TRV. I can't install the new rad until I have tiled and moved some ...
