4 plumbers out and no fix. UFH not working downstairs. Return pipe cold
TonyT replied to Markca's topic in Underfloor Heating
Your fault codes can be looked up online, don’t think you get an H code, the other looks like it points to an external temp sensor. has any of the wiring been altered recently since the installation was completed? -
Looks like you have green only earth sleeving so it’s looking like this part of the installation could be over 50 years old. worth thinking about if you are planning new kitchens etc.

You still get cooker switches to fit these large back boxes MK K5011 for the MK version

No heat= No flow of hot water in the circuit. turn the upstairs that is working off/pit thermostat to a temperature lower than the room temperature and put thermostat for other circuit up a few degrees than room temp, no weather compensation just heating on full and get all the energy from the boiler/pump working on that circuit. at The boiler is that an a brass air vent? getting any air from that? who’s to say there is sufficient water in the UFH, might be best to blast mains water into the UFH one loop at a time to also remove air locks -
Could you fully insulate, then strap the ceiling with timber, the void between the plasterboard and insulation will be sufficient for modern LED lights

Actually I wouldn’t, why would I want to get worked up about other people builders.

Does the gate opener not have a light connection? seen that in the past.

your meant to strip the bricks out to remove the heater. how is 7.5p a kWh expensive? It’s the same price as my gas? if people can’t figure out storage heaters, basic gas central heating systems they have no chance running a heat pump.

7.5p off peak with Octopus
-
Fit storage heaters chargered via off peak cop 4 compared to standard peak electricity. No moving parts, no maintenance easy to control now that’s KISS…
