Hi there,
I think I might have a problem with our combi boiler but before I call a plumber out I thought Id ask here.
Basically, at the moment the house feels cold all the time. The radiators are hot but not boiling. I did recently take out a radiator (and not yet replace) and refill the system.
The radiator that I have temporarily removed is in the hall where the thermostat is so this room is cold but Id have thought that this would resuilt in the rest of the house being warmer as the thermostat tries to bring the hall up to temperature.
The thermostat is an old mechanical type and the "click" when it turns on or off is way below the desired level although Im sure there is some degree of inaccruacy in these devices.
However, when I turn the thermostat right up (so the heating should come on), the boiler does not always light up. Should I expect to be on all the time, if the house is trying to be heated or does it have to come on and off (hope that makes sense).
The only other thing I can think of of use is that after refilling the system, although the "boiler off" pressure is between 0.5bar and 1bar as recommended, the hot pressure goes to nearly 2.5bar.
Any ideas?
