I hated these things so much... so many boilermates in newbuilds I even recognise the house layout ! I hope you realize how lucky you got when the valves only leaked when turning - those are a nightmare to change.

Tell me about it I was praying they stopped leaking!

Moved into a house with one of these. Two faults, and two different heating engineers asking me what it was (installed in over 600 new builds 10 years ago in my town… so surprised they’d not stumbled across them) and scratching their heads as to how to progress. Fault number three saw me scrap it.

@cputilitysolutions Жыл бұрын

Yeah they're not the greatest systems and if you can afford to scrap it and convert it then you'll be better off for sure

From my limited knowledge on them, the pumps are the wrong ones as they should be non adjustable, also u wont get 240 necessary as the ntcs control pump speed

Good to see a conscientious person I go behind a lot of guys and cringe at what I see I quite often get why are you doing that no one else has ever had that off or taken that off make you worry

took a boilermate 2000 out last week, they are so heavy to get out a small cupboard and take down the stairs!

Tell me about it, took a few out when on the social housing contract and we used to strip them down as much as possible

What benefits does the Gledhill Boiler Mate offer to offset the apparent complexity?

@@cputilitysolutions OK in simple terms. It appears a hot water cylinder coupled with an NTC that communicated with the system boiler could achieve the same purpose than the Boiler Mate is. So what extra functionality is the Boiler Mate providing?

@cputilitysolutions Жыл бұрын

@@normanboyes4983 the boilermate works opposite to a normal cylinder where in a normal cylinder the stored water is for domestic use and the system water goes through the coil to heat it up. Whereas with a thermal store the stored water is the system water and requires it to be up to a certain temp before it can start circulating around the heating system. Regarding domestic hot water, it provides the benefit of the customer being able to get mains pressure hot water delivery as the external plate heats up the water in the same way as a plate hex would in a combi. It's also good for situations where you can't run a discharge like you would for an unvented as the thermal store doesn't require one. I still feel an unvented cylinder on hot water priority with a system boiler would be a better option overall if provisions allow

Why Gas people always drill through out wiring and after call electrician to say that every time they turn on new boiler via spur its tripping the MCB and this is wasn't a case when old boiler was in use 😜
