The heat is on

[cia260895]

there should be a knob you twist to turn it on

0r  a slot  

can't see anything - possibly out of sight behind the kitchen cupboards? or i could be looking at the completely wrong thing, of course.

should be directly under the boiler

there are no flexible hoses coming out of the boiler, just copper pipes, which then disappear behind the units

have a look in the cupboards below it

you dont have a big white key for filling the heating do you?

don't think so. will have a poke about

what make of boiler is it?

no joy - the pipes go behind the units and the panel at the back of the cupboard isn't moving.

it's a Worcester 24i

yeah that's where i found what i thought was it earlier, but there's no obvious way of turning it on

[cia260895]

Put mine on yesterday for the first time.  Works fine, but didn't realise I'd need a PhD to be able to fathom out the control panel and the instruction manual that goes with it.  Got to be the least intuitive thermostat/timer control I've ever seen.  It's a Glow-worm one for anyone who has had the pleasure.  Once I sussed it though, it works well, and the house is toasty.

lol @ glow-worm wd on sussing it

I have got a wireless combined time clock and thermostat and i'm buggered if i can set it up properly even after 5 years with the thing,main switch on boiler FTW

Mine's the wireless combined one.  Completely threw me to start with, but with dogged determination, a bottle of beer, and the instructions (which sound as though they've been translated into English on babelfish), I managed to work it out. 

It's actually more like climate control for the house, rather than the way normal central heating controllers work (well, all the ones I've ever seen in the past).  Set the temperature for the 'comfortable' setting, and then programme when you want the comfortable setting to kick in.  There's no button to whack the heating on for an hour quickly or anything either.  Glad it's not just me that find them confusing .

I frigging hate em all
poxy things

I've got one and it's the absolute nuts.

Set the temp at 6 different times throughout every day and totally separate for all 7 days of the week.

The house is kept at a constant 16 degrees then just warms up when I need it to so it's really efficient.

Holiday functions, party functions, going out functions, the lot and all very straight forward.

They aren't all bad.

Mine's OK now it's all set up. It's definitely a good idea to have the house ticking over and always above a minimum level.  But mine doesn't have a button to say - stick the heating on for an hour, it takes about 15 presses of buttons in a random order that even Alan Turing would struggle to work out.

[cia260895]

are we toasty?

[Laxie]

I don't have buttons to worry about.  Either we put down a fire or freeze.  Simples.

[cia260895]

we have lift off at the schoool where we are working after 2 weeks having no heat due to faulty PCB's the brand new system  is now up and running phew......

BTW the 2 old boilers in the other block worked 1st time

[cia260895]

I love British Gas

Hello how can I help?

You seem to be holding my money hostage.

Im sorry?

Ive been with you since July and I think you may have got the direct debits a little to high.

O rly? Oh I see, er you can have it back we should really keep some as you will use more in the winter period.

How much more? Are you on crack?

No, but I take your point. Ill put the £430.38 back in your bank.

OK I have another (probably dumb) question. Why is it that I get lovely piping hot water in my bathroom in the Summer months, but come autumn and winter I'm lucky if I can run a bath that doesn't make me shiver when I get in it? And is there anyway to fix this?

[cia260895]

what is yr hot water thermostat set at?
