Bulk LPG - Cheapest suppliers / supply route?
Hi all, Moved into a house in Jan that has a bulk LPG tank, which was previously supplied (and the tank is owned by) Calor. The contract they were really keen for me to sign was quite a restrictive lock in one and after speaking and a bit of negotiating they dropped the standing charge and discounted the pence per litre by…

thermostat question
Recently had new combi boiler installed with ESI thermostat controlling the system. I find when the boiler reaches the desired temperature it can take quite awhile before it shuts off and by the same token when the temperature drops, it can take a long time before the boiler kicks in. Is this normal?

Ideal Logic Combi boiler 9 years old - 1 year service or full strip down service

This could be (and sounds like) a complete scam, but I suppose it might be true. Does anyone have any concrete evidence on whether these products actually work, and…
