Boiler function question
My boiler (Worchester Bosch) fires up when the thermastat calls for heat and runs for around 45mins or so with a plume coming out of a flue and the green ignition light lit.

OK, I will be as brief as possible. A few years ago I 'switched' to NPower using USwitch. They said payments would be £74 a month, however, after one month they upped this to £120. Around this time I noticed my use was escalating and despite various checks both official and personal no one could tell me why. My quarterly…

Electricity outage - Utility Point not open until Monday - What to do?!

We called Utility Point at 6:15 last night and were told that they’d send someone out within three hours. This person never turned up and we’ve now been without…

Dangers of switching gas off, then on again
I noticed that on another forum someone said the following in one of their posts: "I think I might have had one about the gas being turned off for mains repairs which was very important from a safety point of view (ensure all appliances turned off so they won't produce a gas hazard when the supply comes back)." This was in…
