I've just had a new boiler system installed and it has this thermostat. I used to have one of those analogue thermostats with the switches which was easy to set. I'm a strict program user (to make savings) and used 6-10 programs a day and now find that the thermostat I have only has 4 programs. Not the best. I will keep an eye out for the low battery sign to avoid faffing about with the pairing issue. Will most deffo favourite this vid for future reference 👍

Thanks for the video! I just had a CDI Compact 32 installed and going well so far. The only think i find odd si far is the sound - when running the central heating the 'pitch' seems to go up and down every few seconds as soon as its up to temp. It mat be that fhis is what it does to maintain temp, switching on and off (though the blue kight stays on). Not sure if that's normal and wouldn't mind but its in the bedroom cupboard and is a little annoying!

My question is does it save on gas usage when compared to other boilers available. Have a 12 year old Worcester 32cdi which is A rated so if I switch to this boiler will my gas bill be lower for the same amount of heat, hot water. Would be great if there was a comparison of a before and after system install with same radiators that showed switching to a new boiler like this dropped monthly gas bills by 10%.
@iheat14 күн бұрын
Energy Efficiency is now based on ErP. If 12 years ago it may be based on a different scale. Regardless, new boilers now have new technologies such as modulation which whilst it may not change the efficiency rating does result in less gas usage meaning savings on gas

Hi. I recently started to get an 2910 error on my green star 8000 life boiler. The pressure seems to be really high at 3.5 bar. I have to manually release the pressure from one of the radiators to lower it. The error goes away when I turn the boiler off and on again but reappears a few days later. Any thoughts? Thanks
@iheatАй бұрын
Is your filling loop open, or if you have the blue tap is it jammed open? Could be when you are releasing pressure it fills back up right away. If not i'd definitely give Worcester a call or whoever installed it for you. Shouldn't be that high, is it a combi? The error code normally relates to the flue so will need a gas engineer to sort this out im afraid
@kas206Ай бұрын
@@iheat The filling loop looks fine. But the 2910 error has gone and I now get a 2961 and occasionally changes to 2962 error. Googling the error shows it's related to the fan. I have an engineer coming in the next few days.

@iheatАй бұрын
Hey great question! If you have removed the radiators be sure to cap off the pipes or join them up to allow the boiler to fill up with pressure. This will let you use hot water. If you haven't removed the radiators its rather pointless draining in the first place as it would need doing again after turning the boiler off.

Hey this does sound unusual it could well be the relief valve or the expansion vessel. Have you inspected the relief valve pipe outside your property? It should look like a copper pipe coming from the wall and bending in on itself, If the pipe is wet or there are signs of water coming out of it in the past it could be a sign of a fault with the valve or expansion vessel.

Very interesting angle and I appreciate your thoughts. Have you had issues with the plastic parts over the years or is it just because you know they are made from plastic that makes you feel uneasy.

No matter how good the plastic is, in due course it is going to go brittle and then break / leak. In my opinion the less plastic the better.

Hi, you seem to infer that the WB thermostat does modulation, & that the Nest & Hive thermostats do not??, I have a WB 8000 being fitted this week, & I have a Nest thermostat/programmer. I read that from 3rd gen onwards allows modulation of the boiler?
@iheat3 ай бұрын
Worcester do not support opentherm which you would need to allow a thermostat such as the Nest to modulate the boiler. If you want the best compatability I'd go with the easy control, this will offer weather compensation or load compensation depending on which setting you choose. The new nests do offer modulation but it would have to be with an opentherm compatible boiler to make the most of this. Don't be put off however, the 8000 is a great boiler and is super efficient. Using any Nest with this boiler is still a great combination and you can make the most of the majority of features.
