After the Christmas celebrations came back to the thatched cottage to discover it had no heating, ordered oil and lit the fire. Turns out there was lots of oil but the boiler was the issue. Watching worlds strongest man and they are very strong. Have to keep the fire going for another week and the wooden jumper is going to be a fave. #heat #oil #centralheating #thatchcottage #winter #strongman
I am soooo rubbish at diy but just for lack of wonga I do what I can .Drained the central heating this morning (the drain tap is mercifully outside),put cleaning solution in the system and will drain again in a couple of days & add inhibitor. I'm never confident with this s*** but hell I at least did it whilst making sounds like Zilly from Stop the pigeon. #CentralHeating
Battle of the thermostat: The science behind your central heating arguments

Being too hot or too cold can be bad for your health. So, what is the optimum temperature for your home?

Spent the afternoon failing to replace the pump in a friend's central heating boiler. Could not shift the nuts on the pump connectors.

There's a #centralheating hashtag with not many toots.

There's a UK "community interest company" called #Depher which can be found on fedi (mastodon.social) and on other social media platforms may offer advice/help.
They do what councils used to do.

Those of you who have taken part in my #UK #centralHeating #polls (thank you!) may be interested in the summary results for 2024:

Any clever #CentralHeating folk out there?

We have a Logic Combi Esp30 boiler.

The digital display is showing c and the burner light keeps coming on.

However we have turned our thermostats off. The downstairs thermostat was set to 18degC but registering 22degC with radiators going full whack.

Upstairs was set to 18degC, registering 18degC but even turning the temp up wasn't warming the radiators.

Any idea how we can work out WTF is triggering it?

My review of our first month or so with the heat pump providing central heating.

First month with heat pump central heating — Too geeky for my own good

The weather has now become cold enough for the central heating to kick in. This is how we are finding it so far with our new heat pump rather than gas.

Too geeky for my own good
