Propane gas home delivery.
I have had an underground lpg tank for 28 years. The current supplier is Flogas with a now out of contract supply agreement. I still get tank standing charges, but the consumption of gas is now only about 200litres a year. They refuse to supply less than 900 litres per delivery. To get out of the contract they require the…

Beware Boiler Juice
"You pay £286.25" says the email in bold orange type, echoing the heating oil price quoted on Boiler Juice's website quotation a few minutes before. But wait a minute. The website quotes a price of 52.24 per litre. Now my maths can be shaky at times but 500 x 52.24 doesn't make £286. Is it the extra a VAT charge? No. It's…

Free solar panels + birds nesting
Hi my parents had free solar panels done via ashadegreener some 4-5 years ago. The guttering by the panels have accumulated gigantic bird nests + lots of dropped pigeon eggs/dead chicks on the patio as well as a line of bird droppings.

Do the ultrasonic level meters ever go wrong?
I moved into this property in Oct 24 - the LCD level meter was at 80%. I've checked every week or so, the LCD bar level meter hasn't changed-which I was pleased about. I've just stuck a twig into the ultrasonic hole access in the tank (I wanted to swirl the water (oil) to get some heating oil cleaner additive mixed up),…

Comparing two properties - to move or not to move
We are currently in a grade 1 listed cottage, which is small, but has single-glazing and no woodburner. The cottage is solely electric and we have storage heaters, in the winter our bills are up to £400.

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?

Oil Combi Boilers?
Hi, Anyone offer any advice on how good oil combi boilers are? We have a standard Grant oil boiler with a vented tank. It works well but there quite a few downsides I would love to get rid of: > The cyclinder takes up a lot of room in the bathroom. > The loft space is too small to house cold water header tanks so they are…

Ideal Logic Combi boiler 9 years old - 1 year service or full strip down service
Hi, my Ideal Logic E530 combi boiler is due its annual service. It is 9 years old and is serviced yearly. One company has suggested that as it is over 6 years old if it has a full strip down service (costing £150) it will mean the boiler lasts longer. I wondered whether it would be advisable please to have this done, or…
