    Nest Learning thermostat with smart TRVs e.g. Tado

    Has anyone have tried this? It's super annoying that Nest has never released in room functionality other than the temp sensor for the US market only. I know Nest recommend full-on TRV's in all rooms. However in order to save money and time, I'm happy with a smart TRV just to have rooms on or...

    Hi people, I've noticed loud cracking and click sounds coming from my tower when my PC is going to and from a full load. Someone has said its probably the sudden changes in temperature causing thermal expansion (Metal expanding and contracting) Is this normal and is this OK? I can't seem to...

    Fixing & optimising my heating system (oil + log boilers).

    When we moved in to this house a few years ago I wasn’t familiar with oil fired or biomass boilers in any way at all. This was the system that greeted us: Look at the size of that water tank on the right of the image! 3,000 litres apparently; it’s an accumulator tank, a sort of battery...

    Boiler not reaching temp

    Hi all, just moved house. Boiler is a glow worm 25r 4 years old. It's not a combi (ie we have a hot water tank and tanks in the loft...open vented?). Anyway, with the thermostat turned up (eg something like 24c for my experiment), I've watched the heating water temperature on the front...

    Bathroom radiator adjustment

    Hey I’ve got a bathroom radiator that never gets that hot, I’ve ensured it’s bled etc. What I want to do is to turn the lock shield side up a little, as I think it might be closed. Looking at the radiator, it’s not your standard turntable lockshield... any ideas how this would be adjusted?

    Intelligent boiler/heating systems

    Hey! We need a new boiler in the next 12 months and I'm looking at our options. I work from home in a medium sized room downstairs and while working 9-5 I'm heating the entire house which seems like such a waste. Are there any heating systems in place that can help/minimise the wasted/cost?

    AC Midea - icon

    Hey everybody, I just moved in a new apartment and it already has 2 ACs. I wonder what this icon means. The AC is Midea. The icon appears when it is turned on heating and when it makes the desired temperature and it stops to work. I will appreciate your help.

    Hi, I'm looking to replace my Daikin air source system as the outside heat pump has broken and can't be repaired. To keep the system will costs upwards of 7k.

    Increased Fan Speed Leading to Increased CPU Temp

    Hi all, I've previously posted about having high idle temps with my new (and first time) build. My CPU temps up anywhere between 40°c - 55°c with spikes up to anything like 65°c at idle and light use (i.e. running spotify). However, I've played around some more with my fans today and...

    Air Source Heat Pump

    About to start a house refurb including putting in underfloor heating throughout. Our heating is currently provided by an old Worcester Bosch boiler running off an LPG tank sat in the drive. Its pretty expensive to run, the tank looks horrible, and is in a stupid location. So we are planning to...

    17 120hz versus 15 4k laptop?

    I am currently banging my head against a wall trying to make a good decision on a laptop purchase. The trouble is that I could do with a pretty decent screen for image editing, but to put things into context, my last laptop was a Toshiba Satellite with a 740m and a pitiful screen. In that sense...
