Hi Benny, Good Video, My old Valiant Combi boiler is working fine except for recently when using the hot water the radiators are warming up! appreciate any advice,
weve had a brand new Ideal Isar HE30 boiler for about 4 yrs and its been trouble free till now.
the hot water is still coming thru the taps but the central heating has stopped working. on the screen it has status = C and the blue burner light is blinking constantly. any advice on what the problem could be and if a diy fix is possible would much appreciated ?
@PROXIMASTARMAN Ok, when you open the hot tap do you hear a click from the boiler? It does sound like an engineer is going to need to have a look at it. It can be anything from a diverter valve to furred up heat exchanger. Let me know how you get on! regards PP
@plumberparts i was told by a number of people on the net that it sounds like the diverter valve could be stuck and it was.i little jiggle and bingo the heating is back on and still running after 2 hrs so if it happens again i know what to do. thanks for the imput.
hi, i am having a little problem.. my combi boiler is not getting 1 bar pressure
is only at zero. There is one flexi hose that connects from main to the return pipes but when i disconnect the main there is no water also coming to the flexi, also there is no valve to open or close from the main only the one underneith the boiler...
@falacomleo Get / google the online service manual...and follow the 'Truth / Faultfinding Table' to locate possable faults...as there should be a guide to take you through how to recharge your system...
Great video, very good that you mentioned the heat store that most gas boilers wouldn't have unless they are some sort of hybrid type a bit like the Worcester Highflow!
@benny5825 Hi Benny, sorry for the late reply. I'm going to cover that part in another video. I just wanted to cover the hot water side as I'm constantly getting asked about it! Thanks for keeping me on my toes however and please subscribe. Regards James
@paul1962uk Yes. All the have that is extra to an indoor boiler is a much better insulating jacket and a permanent live to a frost thermostat that protects from freezing! Please subscribe!
A plate heat exchanger has a very high "heat exchange" rate, not "heat recovery" rate.
