demand
In economics, demand is the quantity of a good that consumers are willing and able to purchase at various prices during a given period of time. The relationship between price and quantity demand is also called the demand curve. Demand for a specific item is a function of an item's perceived necessity, price, perceived quality, convenience, available alternatives, purchasers' disposable income and tastes, and many other options.
Hi,
I have a Vailant EcoTec Boiler with a Megaflo. These are controlled by a Honeywell controller. I have one 3 port diverter, where one of the outputs goes to a 2 port diverter prior to the Megaflo (I believe this is some safety feature).
I have run into an intermittent problem where some...
Hi, my plumb center wireless room thermostat has stopped displaying heat demand icon when heat is on.
I have changed batteries and completed a re-bind but no luck. I can still turn the heat on ok with thermostat, it's just that the display doesn't tell me I have done so!
Any help would be...
Why is there a choice in choosing time periods for DHW on gas boilers?….Why not having DHW ‘on’ 24hours/day.
Isn’t the boiler switched on only on DHW demand ?…hence no need for setting time intervals for DHW.
Hi all.
I have a 20 year old Worcester Bosch Heatslave 12/14 Oil-fired
I'm getting about 20 seconds of hot water, then the boiler won't fire.
I can crank the HW dial right up and it'll fire and give me another 20 secs of hot water.
It won't fire again with demand from the tap.
It was losing...
HI All,
Weird problem with an FS30 CDI, The boiler does not come on when demand for heat (LR terminal) is on, but I can turn it on manually via the service menu. Heating controls all seem fine, but anyone seen an issue before where it doesn't seem to register the demand for heat and just stays...
Hi, I have a 20yr+ old Vaillant Turbomax VUW 282 with a magaclean (on the flow side) and connected to Hive system for a 4 bed house.
Had it serviced by British Gas engineers - but its a mixed bunch that come around and often depends on the engineer quality.
Recently had its diverter valve...
Hi folks,
I've got a potential problem with my Logic Combi ESP1 35. When the boiler is set to Central Heating and Hot water mode, the boiler indicates that there is a constant Demand for Central heating.
When the thermostats (TP5000 Si) are turned off (both pulled from the wall and also...
Hi everyone. I recently had to replace my shower pump and increase the size of the cold water storage. Since moving to a gravity fed pump the pump is activating with no demand for a few seconds. The pump is now connected to all outlets in the house but I am concerned it will burn out if it...
Recently had a new heating and hot water system retrofitted in a domestic property. Previous hot water system was gravity fed with a vented cylinder. New system as shown in the photos. Installer commissioned system about 3 months ago and all was working fine.
There have since been two faults...
I'm in the process of buying a property which needs a complete bathroom overhaul. The current bathroom has an electrically powered hot water tank feeding a bath, shower and sink.
I would really like to remove the water tank to save valuable space (and probably energy usage too) and so wondering...
Is the usual way of sizing the boiler for a C/H system to add up the kW of all the required radiators. Then add 10% for heat loss in the pipework? I know how to do it with regards to a combi and the flow rate rate required in litres per minute with a 35 degree rise in temperature. Thanks.

Hi all, hopefully someone can offer some advice:
I have a potterton profile 80 boilder (I know quite old!). It's a S-PLAN system. Over the last few months, the boiler control has been a little eractic, but I have struggled to nail it down. Lately, it's now been running all the time (pump...
Hi all.
I have a large house (ex commercial building)
It's heated by 2x Clyde Combustion CM-1 boilers rated at 220,000 btu each.
When the whole building is being heated, they work fine (although the fuel oil bill is ruinous)
My problem is - 70% of the building is currently being renovated and...
Hi I have a fully pumped system. CH hasn't been used since April. Last Friday was a bit chilly so I turned the room stat up but the boiler didn't fire up. Boiler works when I demand HW. I installed a new room stat (Drayton RTS8) which made no difference. I then changed the controller from a...
Hi all, first post but have a major issue that's causing me headaches. My system boiler (Glow Worm Flexicom 18hx) continues to cycle to keep itself up to temperature, even without any demand from the programmer (Drayton Lifestyle LP 522) which is also causing the pump in the upstairs airing...
Sorry if this is a load of daftness - I've not a clue about heating systems! Not long moved and the house has its got an Ideal Independent C30 boiler. Issue I'm having is the CH turns on quite regularly even when the thermostat is much lower than the house temp (set to 15°C and house temp is...
Went to a main combi, not serviced or looked at for years- can't be that old 5-7yr but shoddy install. Expv flat as per. Got the beast going but it fired once or twice without demand. Dirt in the system right? Sticking flow switch or ....?
any thoughts? :eek:
When attempting to use the shower our combi-boiler does not fire up in response to the demand for hot water. However, if using the Exafill to run water into the bath then the boiler DOES fire up - as it does also with other hot taps in the house.
British Gas service engineer has checked the...
Hi all,
I've just moved in to a new build with the above boiler and two thermostats (one upstairs, one downstairs). The other day we had an issue where the heating upstairs stayed on no matter what the thermostat said, I managed to factory reset the upstairs thermostat and since then the rads...
