Where are you based?

So Mike, in the middle of the night when economy 7 is on. Are both outputs coming from the eco7 meter supplying cheaper rate electric. ie is it worth using the delay function on my washing machine and dishwasher as these are on normal plugs?

How can I contact you

Hi, I have issue with my JS warm air, with the same issue

Stay away from this meter it costs a fortune

Thanks for this, my daytime 'boost' works but not the off peak, so I might try this fix, but one other thing I have is that none of the lights on the top left hand side of the Pulsacoil 2000 are on (despite the boost working) does this suggest that there is another problem before I attempt the fix in the video? One other thing, should the electricity be switched off when attemting the fix or does it need to be on for the fix to work?

I have tried doing this but aborted mission as there was alot of water coming out the pump even before i took the screw fully out. Is this normal or do I need to turn the water supply to the pump off first?

Clean the Venturi

Fauly gas valve and or on its own partially blocked injector.

If more than 6 inches ,,,is it still fine?

What was the fix? I have same problem. Engineer changed heat exchanger and still there

Thanks for useful video, I have the same meter as pictured but am not clear if it is RTS - video infers supplier automatically activates second feed at midnight i.e. is not on a timer or switch, is that correct..?

Hi Mike! 53 mins later since my comment to you and vala! It works!!!! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH SIR FOR SHARING YOIR SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE!!!

Hi Mike! You gave us hope with this video! 😁 thank you for your clear step by step and providing photos. If this doesn’t work I ll pass your details to my landlord. Cheers, all the best

Stupid pointless video

My meter is older than that installed in the early ‘70s. I do not want a Smart Meter but I’m not sure if it is a RTS meter?

Hello Mike, I have had a gledhill pulsa coil for about just over a year now I’ve had no hot water for about 3-4 days now, an engineer has inspected the boiler and everything seems to be working the boiler does work when I wire my booster switch to the main element as that has power all the time which is great for a temporary fix but it is still not heating up overnight which is my main problem really struggling how to sort this, any ideas?

Yeah they don’t tell you how much energy it takes to boost these heaters throughout the night, it’s like boiling a kettle continuously for 7 hours!

As soon as I let go of the top knob to turn it, the pilot goes out. It doesn't matter how long I hold it in for.

What are you saying?

What does 'you only get one chance at this ' with a laugh mean ?

Love it!

Hi Mike the powermax 155 frequently lock out .heating is working well unless

We have a glow worm boiler. We had a service, the fan went a few weeks later and had a new one fitted. Ever since it’s been making an awfully high pitched noise. Getting complaints from neighbours. Could this be the gas valve from reading previous comments? Shouldn’t this have been picked up in a service?

Whatever made you do these videos, I can only thank from the bottom of my wallet... spot on advice that instantly worked (topping up header tank!!)

Mine is only fitted newly today and is making that noise 😢 and it was to replace a bad warmhaus boiler that gave hassle for two years 😢😢😢😢

Either change or clean the injector and replace the blue o ring at the top of the Venturi, cheapest option at first.

Hey Mike, I'm having issues keeping the hot water going. The boiler needs to be depressed every time before using and then only runs for maybe a minute before shutting off. Just wondering if you had any ideas

Mine is doing this too! It’s only three years old! It’s doing my head in.

Such a great help. Sure enough the spindle was solid. Got a big enough screwdriver in there that would fit the slot & managed to free it. Turned it over a few times, fired it up & now I have a warm house. I thought for sure I was going to need a new pump. The water where I live is hard & I haven’t used the central heating system in more than 6 years, so I’m very grateful. Thank You🙏

Hello Mike. Not sure if you're still there. My Netaheat MKIIF from 1985 won't spark and light the pilot. Any ideas? I can light it manually with the front off then it follows the correct sequence. Do I need a new 'generator ' circuit board? Probably not the PCB box because it otherwise fires up normally when manually lit? Thanks!

Hello, great video. I seem to find both my day and night ones keep tripping after a week. I reset them on a weekly basis. What is the issue? Thanks

Wasn't the gas valve on mine with exactly that noise. Ended up being a loose bafflle plate in the burner unit.

Hello Mike. I have a Boilermate 2000. The heating and the living room thermostat switched off,but the radiators still warm. And looks like the pump spinning,running constantly. Could you help me please?

Hi Mike do you have to have the heating off before you undo the screw

Thanks

Baffle plate inside the burner housing

What is the cause and the solution to this problem?

My powermax 155x makes singing noise like in your other video. If I touch the spinning fan blades, the singing noise becomes lounder,is it a failing fan or the gas valve?

The total rating doesnt add up with your rate 1 and 2 rates. Scottish power telling me that total rate is my storage heating rate ?

Hi just got back from my holiday from plus 30* to minus 2* and fixed my hot water from your video. Very helpful & Thanks. Will call you next time l need a boiler engineer

Thank you! You've saved me with this video.

With Respect! Not helpful In a caravan when it's been off for ages and won't go on!!!

Hello, thank you for explaining. I've moved into a flat with economy 7, when I use my appliances during the day (I work from home) and lights/heating etc is this drawing electricity from the night rate when the tank has already heat up. Or while I'm working from home are my appliances drawing electricity from the day rate please?

gas valve for sure

I so wished you lived closer Sir , my ancient j25-32 Modairflow heating system has a problem, the burner will light for 10 seconds approximately, but fan does not kick in. If I turn the full heating system off on the wall socket then back on the fan will run for a few seconds.

Thanks a lot mate

It’s the bottom thermostat

Thank you! very helpful

Thanks for the video! I have similar pump (model - grundfos ups15-58fc) but it doesn't have the screw and I have to take the whole black cover off to get a glimpse of what's inside. All I see is a metal covering? that takes up most of where the screw should be. Any tips or do I need to take the whole pump apart? I'm thinking the shaft just ins't turning. Thanks!
