How to Operate Glowworm Energy, Adjust Hot Water, Central Heating Temperatures, ECO Setting, Re-Set

[@RiazJ86]

The internet amazes me how there's practically a video for almost any problem. Thank you for making this video! You legend.

[@jesussm6854]

I neve thought I will watch an entire video about a boiler, but let me said, thank you so much. It did help me pretty much. Thank you very much. Very helpful

[@johnbayley1109]

Brilliantly clear to those of us who aren’t experts in boilers. You give confidence to make the adjustments necessary. Thank you.

[@IanTresidder]

Thank you Mark.The manufacturers should be asking you to write their instruction manuals. Your videos are great.

[@AnnKoilparampil]

Thanks Mark! This was extremely helpful!

[@SolloxAndTheSpooners]

Thank you Mark. As others have said, so much clearer than the manual, watching this was time wells spent.

[@pops2728]

Brilliant video. Clear, concise and really helpful. More helpful than the fitter who put it in!

[@rogernelson6532]

I've watched a couple of his videos and they have ALWAYS helped me out... cannot fault him 10 out of 10 THANK YOU

[@chinwaioliveting6043]

Thank you Mark. We have this new boiler today and couldn't figure out how to have hot water. You save our lives!

[@mimatimas]

Good, Clear and relevant explanation for home owners.

[@gabriellecattani2846]

As a woman in her own, I know understand my boiler! I can manage the basis problems. Thank you

[@sarahsullivan4356]

Thank you so much! I went to go do washing up and found that my hot water had gone. You have rescued me from a cold shower in the morning.

[@margaretpeterson819]

Thank you Mark. You made it so clear for me. Really grateful to you for making things so clear, and of course saving me money.

[@tonyefc8423]

Your videos are Sooooo helpful. You should do a video for all new boilers, to explain the lowdown on them in your clear and concise manner for the user. Downloadable and of course for a fee. Be worth every penny. Better than any poorly worded and written user manual. Thanks for your efforts.

[@bagitn_ban_it6555]

Thanks for the video got the glow worm 25c installed and still used your tutorial. Done a great job 👍

[@scottanderson5520]

Thanks Mark saved us having cold showers this Christmas. Bleeding the radiator knocked off the boiler.

[@Pepperpurple]

Thanks Mark. A comprehensive guide to the control panel. At a perfect pace too!

[@philbull11]

Thanks That was brilliantly simple to allow me to warm up & have a shower on a cold day. The explanation was also interesting and crystal clear : And a reminder that my service is a bit overdue !

[@leona_devon]

Thank you for showing me how to turn the eco mode on, I wondered why the boiler made noises all the time and it's only me on my own so there's no point having it do that amazing thanks

[@mgaheather]

Thank you so much. You have saved me having to call out an engineer. The way you have explained everything makes sense and you have saved me money.

[@simonr1392]

Not sure if anyone will see my comment but I cannot adjust temperatures as when you press plus or minus buttons it says 'no'!!

[@xedline]

Did u managed to solve this problem I also facing the same.

[@hannaht8272]

I have also got that "no" problem for 3 months now...

[@peterbooth4399]

Same here as well. I think it’s something to do with the installer’s code.

[@shirleykilbride4555]

Me too I have the same problem

[@ThulaganyoMonekwe]

I have the same issue with the No

[@kuljindersingh6499]

What a blessing that you are to all us homeowners!! Thank you

[@kevinyates64]

Really clear instructions, but my boiler just displays 'no' when I press the + or - buttons. It also won't let me switch off eco mode, nothings changes when I press both for 5 seconds. It is the Ultimate 30c, but identical control panel to this one.

[@nunestyle]

Thanks mate you just saved the day❤

[@lyndadimelow157]

Thank you Mark, you spoke clearly and simply, I gave. Geeked my temperatures all good, and reset my boiler

[@laurar7346]

Legend, thank you! Snowy night and husband is out, my and my little one nice and warm now :)

[@davebain5007]

I just had this boiler fitted & made the changes you recommended. Thanks

[@satoshiblack1046]

I've a Betacom4 30c, no eco symbol pops up when I hold down the plus & minus buttons, perhaps I don't have that feature, never really looked at my boiler since it was fitted a few years back, just now checking it out, out of shere boredom lol

[@reneeberkhout5524]

Very useful to know about eco mode! I was wondering why my boiler kept firing up at random points of the day (and night). I have an electric shower so don't need much hot water so this will definitely save me energy!

[@hoisin75]

Best tutorial I’ve seen on this boiler. Government is recommending a flow temperature of 60 currently. Would you recommend that?

[@EMDnDMG]

Now I finally know what the eco mode is doing. Thanks Mark.

[@barrysw]

Thanks for this Mark you just saved me the cost of a callout. Skipper

[@pawncrackers]

Thanks so much, Mark! Had my radiators come on whenever they want while on ECO mode, and with the hot weather coming, need to be in full control. Thanks for the clear explanation. Take care! :)

[@janenapier7495]

Many thanks for this easy to follow guide. I am now trying ECO and will report back!!!

[@sumanadas2663]

This is very good video.one of the best one I find.Very clear and good explanation.Thank you.

[@Koogeybear]

Thanks. Great helpful and clear video. Had an F.28 error which indicated a frozen condenser pipe. Sure enough insulation had come off. Defrosted pipe with boiling water, reset boiler as you showed, and all working again. Thanks.

[@jleyd]

Simple clear instructions for everyday people. Thank you.

[@baileysmyman]

Thanks so much for these clearly explained operating settings. Most helpful.

[@jeffburrell7838]

Very informative. I'll check my boiler settings in the morning.

[@basheerkhuddus9551]

[@Peter-xo5oc]

Perfect video for these boilers! Thank you!!

[@stephenellefsen3866]

Thankyou Mark, Thanks for your description of the eco setting and related noises from the boiler. I now understand that when I turn on the hot tap when the central heating is also on I get those noises. I can now relate this to my wife and possibly save my marriage. Phew ;-)

[@tailsoffun4897]

Hi great video thank you. Have just moved and have this boiler. After seeing this wanted to check radiator temp as room never seems to warm. When I had radiator icon on only I tried both plus and minus buttons and both just say 'no' in the display. Not even giving the current temperature. Any ideas please? Thank you 😊

[@alexwright9601]

I have the same problem, did you find a resolution?

[@leeyarkess2539]

Mine too.

[@balenrc]

Same here. Any answer on this yet Mark?

Thank you very much for this information. Helped me with sorting my boiler out.

[@anthonymcghee4649]

Brilliant mate worked great for me . Thanks

[@martam8356]

This video helps a lot. It's annoy when I try blow radiators because the air in them . Boiler loosing pressure so I can't properly sort the radiators . They are not hot as they should .(Some half way cold ) And this increasing using gas and put my bill up because heating need to be some days all day long because room are cold .

[@gudrunbennett3380]

Thank you Mark this has helped me become a adult

[@xmarblox]

Hi there. Quick question: How do I unlock my glowworm ? It shows me "no" on display if I press any + or - button. Thanks in advance. Regards

[@davids3526]

[@karan97]

Thanks that was very helpful and also why my bar shows to 2.0 and stays there not going down to 1.5

Hi Mark, great Video. I have the Vaillant version of this boiler known as Home Combi 35 instructions not clear so this really helped.

[@GavinRedpath]

Thanks, very helpful and easy to understand.

[@cromptonenator]

Key point for people whose Glow Worm boilers come with a timer on the right: If the little round switches are outwards, it means the boiler will come on at that time.

Thank you for the video. I'm trying to turn down the hot water temperature. For some reason this doesn't seem to work for hot water though. I cycle through the modes to hot water and then press '-' and nothing happens. It's fine when I select the heating. I can adjust this fine. Just not the hot water. Any ideas why this would be anyone? Thanks again

[@Rajjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj]

I am unable to edit the temp of hot water . Whilst the boiler pressure bar is displayed , I press once and that shows the water icon. If I edit the temp with + and - nothing happens. press the mode button I can see water and radiator icons .if I press + and - then I can set the temp of radiators . So wondering how to adjust the water temp ?

[@tomray3590]

I’m having the same problem as this - can anyone advise?

[@Rajjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj]

@@tomray3590 hello! I did some research around this . This boiler is a condensing system and relies on hot water tank (megaflo) for boiling water . The megaflo has a screw to adjust thermostat underneath the grey covers. This adjusts the hot water temp. Note- The hot water tank should have a minimum temp of 55-60 degrees centigrade to prevent the growth of legionella and other pathogens . Ours was set to 55 degrees C by the installer.

[@AG5-55]

Thank you so much. this was brilliant. Ive been trying to find how to adjust radiators. They were red hot and were set to 72. i have been able to lower thanks to this

[@Jiayue-w2h]

Hi, thank you for the video, could i know how to change the pressure too?

[@WorcFlyer]

My mother has this exact type of boiler. The heating water is set to 70C. But when we try turning it down the display just shows 'no'. The house has a ClimaPro2 controller which I think means some of the settings can't be changed on the boiler. Glowworm came out and were totally useless. Completely daft as the house gets far too hot, but we've never been able to find anyone that knows how to adjust the heating water temperature.

[@astralgary.]

Hi. Did you get this issue sorted? I'm having same problem.

[@WorcFlyer]

@@astralgary. We gave up with the ClimaPro2 controller. This controller is just useless junk (suspect it was a freebie that the house developers went for). My mum got a conventional thermostat controller installed this year and it has transformed things. Boiler heating water is now set at a sensible temperature and it no longer runs at 'nuclear heat'. Hope you get it sorted, but I think the best (only?) option is to bin the ClimaPro 2.0.

[@astralgary.]

@@WorcFlyer appreciate the reply, we have the same controller, so it makes sense. Best wishes.

[@letruong1051]

Thank you very much I thought something wrong with my boiler but it s turned out that I accidentally touched the mole button so heating icon disappeared so I’ve hot water but no heating . Now I know why . Thank you very much .

[@lonehiss9329]

Thanks Mark, just had a Glow Worm 24c - AS/1 installed however this video still helped me fathom what was going on!

[@alexandracabral2034]

Can you lower the radiators whilst away on holiday in winter?

[@katherinegeorge4945]

I use a remote control and I noticed that after I turned the heating off at the remote the heating was coming on until I turned it off at the boiler. Also, the default temperature on the remote control is 26°C and I have to either override it or remember to turn it off before it gets too hot. Can you advise please how to stop boiler coming on when the remote says off and also adjust the heating temp on remote. Thank you.

[@ambernorth3955]

So helpful, much better understanding now, thank you.

[@ChristinaMariCuss]

Great support video. Thanks 🌻

[@cristianchrisl.a.7743]

Hi. Please help! When I press on heating, instead to press after the plus + to increase the grades is coming up NO.

[@sentinel2199]

Many thanks for explaining how to toggle the Eco mode, as this doesn't seem to be documented anywhere (not even in the manual).

[@terryhampso5800]

Cheers Mark. Smashed it !

[@tonywood6332]

Great vid mark. One Q though, my CH temp is displayed and I’ve reduced it to 65 from 75 but can’t seem to access the water temp section (the book doesn’t help either) GLOWWORM EASICOM 3 25r

[@thesupergreenjudy]

Do you have a thermostat by any chance? I had the same issue. If your boiler is linked to a thermostat you can adjust the water temperature from that thermostat - You can also call the glowworm hotline, they can talk you through the menu as I had to with my glowworm for the flow temperature. you need to press the buttons in a certain order if you want to do it directly from the boiler

[@stevie3863]

This is all good but I have the heating symbol on burner going but no heat coming to the radiators

[@xr3xm474]

this is a great video, I'm havi g a problem with my boiler, it will only go to 55° on the radiators even when I set the temperature to 70, can you help please

[@neilashford-rv4md]

Thx for video. My30c boiler is not displaying any pressure info on display. I have reset but no joy. Can set radiators per instructions but hot water cannot be reset no temperature displayed. Any advice or do I need engineer

[@jamessquire2890]

Hi got exactly the panel you show on video when I hold down buttons for eco settings it doesn't come on mines an ultimate 30c combo thanks James.

[@philhanlon5073]

Very helpful. Couldn't follow the manuel at all. 🎉❤

[@Bad_Wulf]

Question. I have Ultimate 30c. It seems impossible to turn off the eco mode. in the manual it infers that the installer needs to enable this facility, However I can find no information anywhere on this in the installation manuals and my installer is also nonplussed. to be clear the 5 second double press achieves nothing. I did find some hint that a link on the PCB needs to be severed. Would you have any knowledge/information on this issue? Regards J.

[@michaelproctor4102]

Clear and very easy to understand thanks Mark.

[@gb9689]

I have hot water running it works for a couple of mins, then switches to Heating and the flame icon goes off, and the water temp goes cold, if i change modes to either just water or heating, it works fine, is this a stuck/defective diverter valve??

[@yamansitar6153]

Hi , how can I turn down the pressure as it’s 2.5 bar. I’d like it to go to 1.5 bar. Thanks

[@atulsachdeva7387]

[@sarahhoward8556]

Hi Mark, great video. My boiler can't turn the ecosystem on. Do you know how to fix this? Thank you

[@christinestone2587]

Thank you. Very concise and clear. Big Up!

[@The1surfergirl]

Really useful video thank you! I was just wondering as in the video the boiler says 1.5 bar but ours says 1.1 even after I’ve set to the temperature you recommended, is there something else wrong?

[@jonathanpope81]

Magic intelligent and helpful!!! Tap positions when increasing pressure was tricky as difficult to see and tap positions was confusing. I assumed "in line" with pipes would be correct for "on" but no way of seeing pipe direction as its more like a " knuckle "but your pic of black taps being horizontal prior to adjustment helped big time. Yellow knob being vertical during use was noted also it only has a + - icon Glow worm manual diagrams are not colour coded or easy to interpret as they are small and complex to understand even with a magnifying glass and wasn't much help. You saved the day after a F28. Still getting a service though as you mentioned it was a gas issue. I had to bleed radiators to lower pressure from 1.9bar to 1. 2 bar when not firing because I overdid the pressure increase method initially. Would 1.9 bar for 30mins damage boiler during resting mode ( ie) no taps on or radiators? Many thanks.

[@grahamwiseman7416]

Great video. But on my glow worm 35c I can't increase or decrease radiator temp. Letters n and o are displayed when I try to go up or down..... Really annoying me as boiler only gets to 60'C & I want 65+ as have some big rooms. Hope you can help. Thanks,

[@RandyTandy15]
