It was supposed to be November, but thats not going to happen now. I emailed about it and got the impression they are waiting for joule to arrange it, which wont happen.Would people mind emailing the ballymore site office to request this meeting with Joule? With the colder weather now here, it would be good to know exactly how the heating works, what i can change and what i should leave alone. Thanks,

I contacted the plumbing and heating installer for instructions and they popped round next day and sorted it out because they happened to be on site at the time. However I wasn't at home when they did so but I was told that there is a so called fill loop with a tap on the main heating tank. It needs to be briefly opened until the gauge pressure is restored to close to the arrow Mark on the gauge. I can't recall right now what the pressure required is. I think maybe you need to do this while the heating is of. I would recommend contacting them for the full steps.

If it's not in line with the red one you need to open (2) The filling loop valve C) If nothing happens to your pressure it is because the (3) additional valve is closed, use a screw driver to open that, that can be left open D) Repeat step B E) If you put too much pressure in use (4) Heat pump return to release it. P.S. the heating doesn't need to be off when doing this.
fret_wimp2 wrote: » very helpful, thank you! When bleeding the radiators, is there any particular instructions, i.e start at top of the house or vice versa? My pressure is only 2 notches above zero, so it needs a good top up, prob need to bleed them to get air out when doing this.

RandomAccess wrote: » We had the same problem with one of our windows in the master and contacted Munster Joinery, they sent out a snag fix guy who replaced the hinge and that sorted the problem. Could be a different fix for yours, but still the same guys you need to contact. I don't have their details, but I think they are in the home pack. Other half sorted it out after I made a list. (We had a few stiff locks too that needed adjusting.)

I usually use Photobucket for linking images directly but they have decided to start charging for that. If anyone knows of any free image hosting sites that allow you to share a direct URL let me know. In the mean time I have added hyperlinks with static URL's to the post as these links can't be embedded in the page.

Sorry for being such a nuisance, just trying to make sure I get it right. (side note - I usually go with imgur of late, seems to be the best of the current options)

Bruncvik wrote: » We got it done earlier this week. In our case, there was a lot of air in the system, both the radiators and the boiler. This was fixed, and the most appreciable change was that the temperature in rooms without a thermostat is now 2 degrees higher than before, while keeping the same thermo levels. The gentleman who came, however, also took off the cover of the heat pump and ran the diagnostics on the pump and the devices in the boiler room. he said he also checked all the fault codes and filters. We followed the advice from the info session last year and didn't touch anything (barely moved the thermostats throughout the year), and he said that our behavior contributed to the system being in a very good condition. So not much of a change, but it gave me a peace of mind for another year. Note that Joule doesn't service the heating pump themselves, but they'll send you contact for their recommended service. There may be a 2-3 week wait period until they come (it was nearly 3 weeks for me).
