FAQs & Help

Information & frequently asked questions on our boilers, parts & controls.

  • Why does my Combi boiler not work as well when I use multiple hot water taps?

    Combi boilers are designed to offer a rise in temperature depending on the flow rate passing through the boiler. As more hot water outlets are used, both the flow and temperature will be shared between the channels. 

  • My Boiler is Supplying Hot Water But No Heating (Or Vice Versa)

    If your home has a heat only or system boiler, it’s important to know they cannot tell the difference between a demand for heating hot water and a demand for central heating like a combi boiler can. 

    If you do have this problem with a system or heat only model you need to contact a plumber, not your boiler manufacturer. This is because a system or heat boiler only works off one demand and that is to heat up water — it’s the controls that do the rest.

  • How do I re-set my boiler controls after changing the batteries?

    On the PRT3, the reset button is located on the transceiver unit at the front of the boiler and on the programmable room thermostat. These should be held in for 5 seconds with the unit left next to the boiler for 15 minutes to pair. On the Touch programmer, this should happen automatically but can also take up to 15 minutes. If you require further assistance please contact our Customer Service department on 01482 498660.
