Hello,
Our boiler and the related thermostat are powered via a switch which has a 3 amp fuse. Lately we have had a few (three in the last two weeks) power cuts and on a couple of occasions this has blown the fuse for the boiler that is in this switch.
Tonight, when I replaced the fuse the boiler worked for about an hour and then another fuse was blown in the switch. There was no power cut on this occasion - at least not that we noticed.
Prior to this the boiler and the associated electrics have worked fine with no problems since they were installed about 4.5 years ago.
Could there any other reason why the boiler is suddenly blowing fuses in this switch other the the power fluctuations we have been having recently? I presume that the low amperage of the fuse is to protect the boiler circuitry (it is an Icos boiler), but is the problem related to the low amp fuse? I presume we would want to change it due to possible risk to the boiler?
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marcus
