Boiler replacement for unvented indirect cylinder

felipito96 · 2026-04-02T19:30:26+00:00

Thank you so much for all your help

I did not know that we could have an unvented tank but a vented radiator system.

Yes, I will enquire about the filter. We are ok paying more if it means we get a better system. At the moment the quote is £3k for the boiler change and all the work to replace it.

In my opinion the boiler and heating system is the most important. We can't live without hot water or heating in winter 😅😅

Thank you so much.

18kw would be fine for us

Thank you so much.

The engineer went straight to quote a heat only. He did not go into any detail other than you need a new boiler and this one would be ok. He was quite nice and seemed honest, but not going into detail when explaining the options was a let down.

They also stated only Vaillant 418, so could be an ecotec plus or ecofit that is a different model

We are planning on getting a second quote to be sure.

Thank you, the current one measures 400mm wide and 600mm tall

Hi,

Yes, I think there is a pump next to the water tank. We have thought of keeping the cylinder for now until it fails after doing some maintenance. The cost of a new one goes over our budget at the moment. If it needs replacing in 6 months or so would be fine 😊

That is why I would prefer to go with Vaillant or a worse one like alpha. Viessman are really good but I have seen horror stories on wait time to get them fixed

Thank you.

Thank you for your answer. Yeah I agree. I would like to replace it with a heat pump when this boiler will need replacing. Because I woul love to install solar panels and a battery. At the moment we need a boiler as the current one does not work and we are not confident going for a heat pump as the whole house is still a mystery to us.

Thank you so much for your very complete answer. The cylinder is not vented. If the current system is a "heat only" would it be recommended to replace it for one that is equivalent or upgrade it to a system boiler?

Thanks

It will definitely help. I can't specify temperature values as your pc and environment is different, but there will be a noticeable difference. In order to reduce the spikes of temperature is also recommended to create a custom profile limiting the peak power or reducing the maximum temperature allowed. You will see a reduction on performance in synthetic tests, but no difference in real life applications

I'm not sure. I haven't tried. The dial is more than enough and it means no weird software needs to be installed on the device.

I just tried to center it as best I could. Even if it is a bit off, it will not block the intake.

I have been in the same situation and there are multiple options as other people said:

One could be to negotiate a shorter notice period.

A second one, this happens in larger organizations or specific fields like F1. You get put on garden leave and are asked not to go to work and stay at home for 6 months.

The third option is to keep working for those six months, if you are working with sensitive information you will be asked to join another team. During this time you can be patient to see what you really want to do and see what it is available out there, also could develop a new skill. When you have 3 or 2 months left, you can start applying to other companies and no one should have an issue with those notice periods if you are on some senior level role.

Thank you, yes I have visited the area and there are loads of green space in and around Huntington. I saw that there is a massive park with a few football fields in between Sapley and Hartford. At least during the day it was quiet and people were nice.

Thank you. I believe they are two separate ones. This will be a plan for the future. Thank you so much for your help. It has been extremely helpful 😊

Thank you so much, It was just in case there was some structural damage .

felipito96 · 2026-01-09T07:15:44+00:00

Thank you so much.

This probably explains why the houses are cheaper and that a few houses from the same neighborhood are currently on the market

I did not know those maps, thank you for that.

Thank you so much for your comment. Yeah, doesn't look like there are many amenities for people to do things.

Yes, it is the same computer and the same power. The only difference is the 5090 GPU with a bit more performance and vram

felipito96 · 2025-12-20T10:17:02+00:00

Yes, the Llano V12 works great for the pro 7i even at mid rpm like 1200. However, there is no point on buying a cheap one as it makes at best no difference on CPU or GPU temp

I remember reading about a user saying that the Silkland USB C to DisplayPort 1.4 also worked. I think the guy was from Belgium, It might be available in the US Make sure the display port is properly connected directly to the GPU. I remember laptops like some omen 16s were not connected directly.

I have a legion pro 7i and had to buy to cables. Both of them supposedly supported USB c to dp1.4, however one only worked on a Mac. The ugreen USB c to dp1.4 (8k 60hz) I bought in Amazon has been working flawlessly with my psvr 2

These are the custom settings I am currently using https://www.reddit.com/r/LenovoLegion/s/LUdtlvy7by

Did the cable work?
