Pal has pretty ancient heating system.
Says this fault is new.
Boiler is BE and conventional flue located in the kitchen.
Hot water cylinder, pump and three port valve all in a cupboard off the
1st floor bathroom. Plumbing to all that looks a mess - despite it being done on a new build. The house is pretty well insulated hence there not being the need to upgrade the boiler as running costs are low.But recently, he says, running hot water only, the rads on the 1st floor get warm. But the heating side pipe from the 3 way valve merely room temperature. So can someone describe how this is happening?
