Hello, I thought I’d give an update in case it helps anyone reading this post who has the same issue. The installers came round and said that the boiler’s default setting was to increase the temperature very slowly and that installers normally change that setting when fitting a new boiler. So he...
I haven’t managed to get hold of them so I was trying to figure out if this is normal with modern boilers before I persist on getting hold of the installers

A few months ago I had a new combi boiler installed to replace the old, traditional boiler. New boiler is Vaillant EcoTEC pro 24. The house is a 3 bed terraced with 1 bathroom and 7 radiators.

Hi there,
I hope you can help! I live on the top floor of an ex-council flat built in the 50s. The building has cavity walls and the windows have upvc double glazing (of poor quality). There is gas heating in the flat with the boiler in the kitchen. The living room has a vent in the old fire...
