I don't know much about central heating. We have a back boiler behind the gas fire in living room.
I also have some form of water tank in the loft, I believe this to be the hot water tank? As we can only get about 3/4 of bath full of hot water.
The heating control we have allows you to only have hot water on, but if you press heating then both the hot water and heater control LED goes on. Beside the fire is a small cupboard that has a pump which is for the central heating to pump hot water around I presume.
Few questions...
Why is the water running dirty now. I've drained tank (switched on not water tank till no more hot water).
How do I top up the central heating system? It's years old now and have to say has had to maintenance really, never been flushed etc. we are getting quite a few pipe gurgling and banging now, I'm presuming this is air in system? That's why I want to top it up.
I know really it needs a full service as such, flush out, but the house is up for sale so don't really want to spend too much.
Cheers
