    As you know, it was a couple of years since I last had a home with Evohome; however, I did install at Atag boiler with Opentherm. In my view, boiler sizing is important: big is not always best with a...

    I can no longer offer any specific assistance as it is now over 2 years since we had a home with Evohome. Sadly, what you are experiencing was the main reason why I have avoided fitting Evohome to my...

    I have done just that but not for the reasons that you might think. I sold a property 18 months ago with a full Evohome installation. During the 4 years or so that I lived with Evohome, I think,...

    Based on past experience, do not expect much given the limitations of the Evohome operating system. The two updates normally relate to the firmware AND the wifi.

    What is it with Heating Engineers and Evohome?

    It’s the meter that is the issue. The supplier has a number of SMETS2 gas meters that in a similar state. They believe that it is the result of a botched firmware update. The meter did start...
