My boiler's been fixed. It only took about 20 minutes. Excited

I heard pumping going on, which I take to mean he was inflating the Expansion Vessel. Excited

Not that I know what an Expansion Vessel is but I've heard them talked of in hushed whispers on the Internet.

You know.

It's a thing that stops these newfangled unvented hot water cylinders from exploding.

Actually though they're more middlefangled these days, as combi boilers are even more newfangled and don't need a cylinder at all.

I think the heating came on this morning. bawl

I've got a fan heater going as I type.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue 31 May 2022 - 8:59

And I've turned my thermostat down a whole Degree (Celsius) since last summer.

It's turned nippy here as well.

However, the sun's starting to come out. So, maybe it's going to warm up. cheer

Still haven't ever turned on the heating in this flat. box

I haven't had the heating on for a couple of months now. Hopefully that'll be it until November, or late October at the earliest.

The bloke who checks the boiler ~~anally~~ annually came before and he turned the heating on! bawl

How presumptuous. Did you turn it off dramatically and inform him no visitor, and not even you yourself, had ever touched that before?

by Nightjar Wed 1 Jun 2022 - 7:07

No, by then I felt completely defiled! bawl

Pride does indeed come before a fall, so it seems. sad yes

by Nightjar Wed 1 Jun 2022 - 7:09

Still - and it remains a wave

fact - I have never purposely turned the heating on my flat. box

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 18 Dec 2022 - 10:43

I've set my radiator flow temperature to 30 degrees to see what happens.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sun 18 Dec 2022 - 11:26

A light broil I would have thought.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 18 Dec 2022 - 11:30

Nothing interesting's happening, so far, apart from it feeling a bit cold in the room I'm in.
