  1. @JohnMo - cheers for the feedback, a bit frustrating that it has been set up this way but appreciate the guidance all the same!
  2. @Andehh - see attached. They do indeed have a mixing valve on them but concerned that what is going into the mixing valve is 60 degrees, which seems a bit overkill giving that the manifold is set to circa 38 degrees and that keeps the house pretty warm (though I notice the missus has adjusted the dial up slightly to like 40). @JohnMo - this work was done as part of my house renovation, I am still due the contractor/architect some cash and hence am inclined to ask that they rectify this as it seems a pretty inefficient setup and not inclined to pay for this in full until it is - what would be the best way of dealing with this? I should also note that I have two towel radiators in the bathroom/en-suite that are also supplied by the boiler.
  3. Hi all I was looking to get some advice on my boiler and heating setup - would really appreciate some input from the good folks here. In short, I have a 27kW WB Greenstar i System Compact Boiler, working with a 250 litre hot water tank and underfloor heating with two mainfolds across the house. Old Edinburgh build, 4m high ceilings and 140sqm. The hot water tank is set to 58 degrees and the UFH manifolds are set to 37-38 degrees. However, the boiler has been set up so that only one dial is used to control the boiler temperature (which is set on the "e" setting) - see photo attached. The hot water works fine but concerned that I cannot control the input temperature to the underfloor heating from the boiler. Does this mean that the input temp to the underfloor heating would be circa 60 degrees and then cooled down to 37 at the manifold? Or am I talking out of my rear end? Thanks, Mr V.
  4. Hey folks, long-time browser of Buildhub and thought it would be worthwhile to get some input from the folks here on an issue I have. I'm renovating a house in Edinburgh, it is the full ground floor of a fully detached property. I have no heating or hot water currently but do have a gas connection inside the house. I would like to relocate my current (unused) internal gas meter and pipe to a position outside the house some 2m away so that I can knock down the current load-bearing wall the pipe and meter sit on. I have however been informed that as my gas service pipe looks to be split in the shared driveway at a T-junction that services the upstairs flat too and it is therefore not possible to relocate my pipe and meter in isolation, nor is it possible to just cut off my supply (and allow me to install an ASHP instead). As the metal service pipe is old (iron?), it would have to be fully replaced and SGN have stated this can only be done for both properties at the same time. The internal gas meters currently in both properties would be moved outside. For me, this is no problem as my house is currently a building site and I have no heating. My upstairs neighbour has a pristine flat however and it would require some internal works to lift the floors, replace the pipework to his boiler (on the other side of the house) and then redecorate back to what it was - this could be costly. This also doesn't account for the fact that there may be a period where the upstairs neighbour has no heating (between the point where the new gas service pipe goes in and when it is reconnected to his boiler). So, my question is, are SGN correct in that my meter cannot be adjusted nor can I be disconnected to the shared gas service pipe unless the whole thing is replaced?
