Success?! 24 hours since B Gas Visit No. 12 and looks like the boiler isn't cutting out any more. They fitted a new Heat Exchanger and new Thermostat in hot water tank and strapped it correctly to the tank (as since Visit No. 3 the hot water has been boiling - I noticed after that visit the...

BG now coming Monday to fit new heat exchanger and possible second power flush. Last night only had heating on and cut out 5 times between 7pm and 7 am. Had to get up at 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. as so cold. This morning put hot water on (with heating switched off) for 30 minutes, then switched...
