Considering a flat with an electric boiler
Initially I thought the heating was gas central because the radiators are similar to gas radiators. When I had a look at the boiler I saw it was an Aztec eletric boiler made by Trianco. A 5 minute google search says it is "99.8%" efficient. It seems it is connected to a "duplex unvented cylinder" which leads me to believe…

How to complain about British Gas servicing?
I'm literally sitting in tears of sadness, anger and frustration as I wait (and wait, and wait) for British Gas to send an engineer to fix an electrical fault which has left me with no heating, hot water, dishwasher or washing machine for over a week. They sent an engineer last Monday to diagnose the fault - he made a…

Gas usage on misconfigured boiler
My pipes from the boiler are the wrong way round, ie the flow is connected to the return boiler port. The result is the thermistor shuts the boiler down too quickly as it thinks the "return" water is too hot. So my boiler clicks on and off every 2 mins whilst it is heating up the house. My gas man I've used for years is…
