Thankfully not many boilers are as bad as this one.

Todays condensing boilers are smaller lighter, cleaner and much more efficient so saving you money when in use.

There are three main types of boiler in todays domestic market. They are, heat only boilers, combination boilers and system boilers. All are condensing boilers.

All of these types can be wall mounted or floor standing.

 THIS IS A PICTURE OF A WORCESTER BOSCH GREENSTAR 42 CDI COMBINATION CONDENSING BOILERS.

THESE BOILERS PRODUCE OVER 17 LITRES OF HOT WATER PER MINUTE WHICH IS A VERY GOOD FLOW RATE INDEEED.

WORCESTER BOSCH BOILERS ARE RECOMMENDED BY CANDO PLUMBING AND HEATING BECAUSE

  • THEY ARE THE ONLY MAKE OF BOILER TO CONDENSE IN BOTH HEATING AND HOT WATER MODE TO GIVE YOU MORE ECONOMY.
  • THEY ARE VERY RELIABLE AND WE HAVE HAD VERY LITTLE TROUBLE FROM THEM.
  • THEY ARE BOTH USER AND INSTALLER FRIENDLY BEING EASY TO INSTAL AND MAINTAIN AND EASY TO USE.
  • THEY ARE A "SEALED " SYSTEM BOILER AND DO NOT REQUIRE A "HEADER" TANK.. THIS GIVES A MUCH CLEANER SYSTEM WHICH LASTS LONGER.
  • BECAUSE OF THE VERY HARD WATER IN THIS AREA WE RECOMMEND A SCALE REDUCER BE FITTED TO ALL COMBINATION BOILERS.
   TYPES OF MODERN BOILER

 

 

 

Heat only boilers are the smallest of the three. they all require some type of cylinder to provide domestic hot water and they also require a seperate "header" tank in the loft or a pressure vessel and loop to fill the system with.

System boilers are the same size as combination boilers. they require a seperate cylinder to supply hot water but they have their own pressure vessel and pump built into the boiler so they deliver a "sealed" system like the combination boiler.

Both of these boilers can be used with a unvented hot water system like the "megaflo" or the "santon"

All boilers can have built in controls or independant ones fitted else where.

All boilers will work with any type or make of radiators.

we recommend that all systems have an inhibitor added to the system to protect from internal corrosion of the system.

   YOUR SYSTEM IS "PUMPING OVER" CHECK TO SEE IF THE SMALL TANK IN THE LOFT GETS HOT WHEN THE HEATING IS RUNNING.

    YOUR SYSTEM NEEDS POWER FLUSHING AND IS PRODUCING HYDROGEN NOT AIR. PLACE A SMALL MAGNET ONTO A PIECE OF COPPER   

    PIPE IF IT STICKS YOU NEED A CLEAN. IF THE MIDDLE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR IS COLD WHEN THE REST IS HOT ...YOU NEED A  

   CLEAN

  MY OVER FLOW KEEPS RUNNING FROM THE TANK IN THE LOFT

 

  IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS  A NEW BALL VALVE OR YOU MAY NEED A NEW CYLINDER.

  USING A PIECE OF WOOD AND SOME STRING, IF THERE IS NO ISOLATING VALVE TO THE TANK, TIE UP THE BALL VALVE LOWER THE

  WATERLEVEL AND MAKE SURE IT IS NOT DRIPPING.. IF THE VALVE STILL DRIPS ...NEW VALVE. IF NO DRIPS AND IT STILL OVERFLOWS...

  NEW CYLINDER IM AFRAID
